In 2011, a photographer posted a photo of Luo Yuanping on the Internet, and as soon as the photo came out, it was immediately reprinted by the majority of netizens. What is special about Luo Yuanping?
"He looks too much like Putin!"
"Isn't this Putin's twin brother?"
Yes, putin, a leader who looks exactly like Russia, has made Luo Yuanping quickly popular on the Chinese Internet, and is even affectionately called "Brother Putin" by many people.
Luo Yuanping
Although his appearance resembles Putin's, Luo Yuanping is actually a farmer from Anhui Province, and even according to the aesthetic standards of Chinese, he looks a little malnourished. But it was such a person, after his photo was boiling on the Internet, quickly attracted the attention of a rich Russian woman, and she even threatened to "pursue" this Putin brother in rural China!
As soon as this news came out, it instantly attracted netizens to boil and ridicule.
"I have to say that this person still has some good luck, is this god chasing after the money to spend?"
"I learned it, but where does the rich woman get it?"
Comments like this are ironic.
So in the face of the rich woman's pursuit, how did Luo Yuanping do it? Eleven years have passed, what kind of life has Luo Yuanping lived now?
Doubts and curiosity are inevitable, and today we will take you to answer them one by one.
He looks a little, weird.
Luo Yuanping was born in 1963 to a peasant family in Longzui Village, Feixi County, Hefei City, Anhui Province.
When Luo Yuanping was born, he was different from other babies, his hair was yellow and a little red, and the color of his eyes was not Chinese normal black, and the foggy blue, all of which made Luo Yuanping's father, the child's body, may have problems.
Just in case, Luo's father and son ran to the hospital several times, until they were told by several hospitals that the child was healthy, and they put their minds at ease. However, as Luo Yuanping grew up slowly, such a strange appearance also brought him a huge blow.
His peers called him an outlier, not only did not play with him, but also often bullied him together, and the young Luo Yuanping often returned home with injuries and tears. The father who knows all this will always stand up for his son, he will teach those bastards a lesson, and slowly no one dares to continue to bully Luo Yuanping.
Unfortunately, when Luo Yuanping was five years old, Luo Yuanping's father died unexpectedly, and the top pillar of the family fell, which made the family's life difficult.
In the face of the huge pressure of life, the mother, brother and Luo Yuanping rely on each other for their lives, and although the life is difficult, they can barely fill their stomachs.
However, within a few years, Luo Mu, who was becoming increasingly emaciated, could not bear the burden of her body and fell ill.
The family's main source of income was cut off, and even after their mother fell ill, they faced high medical expenses to pay. This sudden change made the family worse, and Luo Yuanping was in junior high school that year.
Sensible, he knew very well that he had no capital to continue his education, so after almost no psychological struggle, Luo Yuanping chose to quit school. The same choice was made by his brother.
The brothers have no strengths, even if they go out to earn money, they can only rely on selling strength.
Maybe it was better for his brother, but Luo Yuanping's side became very unsmooth.
Strange appearance makes him hit a wall everywhere, and even many people suspect that he is unhealthy and whether he is deliberately blackmailing money, and some people hate his strange appearance and point at him.
Even later, Luo Yuanping finally found a place to accept him, but he was also deceived by the other party because of his young age.
In the early days of reform and opening up, the teenage Luo Yuanping finally found a stable job, carrying goods for his employer and then getting paid.
For the sake of his mother, Luo Yuanping worked very hard.
However, even Luo Yuanping himself did not expect that he would actually work in this "stable" job for more than twenty years, and he transformed from a teenager into a middle-aged man.
Over the years, because of his introverted personality, Luo Yuanping has not dealt with any girls, and of course, he has not married and had children. Although some things have not changed, Luo Yuanping's already special appearance has changed, his hair has gradually changed from yellow-red to white, and his eyes have become more blue.
Because of the years of fatigue that made him skinny, Luo Yuanping was obviously only thirty or forty years old, but he looked like a small old man of fifty or sixty years old.
In this way, he will have to endure the strange eyes of others when he walks on the street. It's just that all this is already accustomed to Luo Yuanping.
Unexpectedly popular.
Contrary to heaven's wishes, Luo Yuanping's grandmother died.
This sudden tragedy made him feel very sad in his heart, and he also realized the truth that the son wanted to raise and did not wait. Therefore, Luo Yuanping decided to go home to work as a farmer and also take care of his mother.
This year is also the year that Putin became the leader of Russia, and because of the close friendly exchanges between the two countries, Putin is often on China's news and television.
Therefore, that face is really not unfamiliar in China.
Putin
In Luo Yuanping's village, there are also many people who love news and politics, and when they see Luo Yuanping in front of them and Putin who has seen him on TV, he can't help but marvel:
"There's no difference at all, it's exactly the same!"
"Brother Luo, you are simply a rural version of Putin, is it difficult for Putin to come to our countryside?"
There are many such jokes, Luo Yuanping originally had a dull personality, and he listened to these jokes, that is, he shook his head and smiled faintly and did not bother with them.
Slowly, no matter who met Luo Yuanping, he was not called by his name, but only Putin.
Over time, not only the villagers, but even Luo Yuanping himself got used to it.
In 2011, a photographer came to Longtsui Village to collect wind, and after taking pictures of the scenery for a morning, he came to the tree to chat with the villagers sitting idly.
"We are used to seeing these landscapes ourselves, but we don't think there is anything new hahaha."
Hearing this, the photographer smiled and asked: "I think the good places near here have been photographed, I don't know if you have any good recommendations?" ”
Hearing this, one of the villagers covered his mouth and laughed: "Yes, in my opinion, you might as well go and pat Putin in our village, that is the leader." ”
This made the photographer confused and look a little dazed. Seeing the situation, the villagers quickly explained to him: "There is a person in our village who looks exactly like President Putin of Russia, and you have certainly not seen this." ”
At first, the photographer did not think that it was just a joke of the villagers, and he was not in a hurry to go back, so he went along and said: "That feeling is good, is there any idle fellow who leads the way, and let me see this President Putin." ”
As soon as these words came out, someone volunteered to lead the way. In this way, the two of them laughed and went to Luo Yuanping's residence.
On that day, Luo Yuanping, as usual, took a big broom to clean up the garbage in the yard. The moment he saw it from a distance, the photographer was stunned. He originally thought that the villagers were just too exaggerated, but he didn't expect that this fellow really looked so similar to Putin!
Seeing this, he raised the camera, as if feeling something, Luo Yuanping subconsciously raised his head.

It was this moment of looking up that made the photographer keenly grasp the camera.
Looking at the peasant in front of him who looked so much like Putin, the photographer also felt very incredible, and he expressed his intentions with some excitement, and then showed him the photos he took.
"Hope you don't mind."
Hearing this, Luo Yuanping waved his hand indifferently.
Finding him an extremely easy-going person, the photographer made a euphemistic request: "Yes, I came to take pictures today, if you don't mind, can I take a few more pictures of you?" ”
In fact, because of family conditions, Luo Yuanping did not take a few photos, did not expect that now there is such a good opportunity and do not want money, of course, he is also very happy.
"Of course you can."
In this way, the photographer took Luo Yuanping from home to outside the village and took many photos. After I went back, the photographer posted all these photos online. As soon as it was released, it instantly attracted the attention of the majority of netizens.
"Isn't this Putin? How is this outfit? ”
"The President of Russia has come to our chinese countryside?"
"Wouldn't you? Why didn't I hear a word? ”
The photographer did not expect that these photos would be so widely concerned, and he had to reply at the bottom of the comment: "This is not Putin, he is from Hefei, Anhui Province, he is an authentic Chinese, but his appearance is indeed a bit like Putin." ”
This explanation has instantly aroused heated discussion among netizens, for only one reason -
"Is this really not Putin? It's exactly the same face. ”
"Twin brothers, how else could it be so much like that?"
Soon, Luo Yuanping quickly became popular on the Internet, and many people called him "Putin's cousin", etc., and finally directly called him "Brother Putin"!
Luo Yuanping modeled Putin
On the other hand, Luo Yuanping did not expect that he would catch fire in such a way, and even someone would come to see him and take pictures with him. All this came too suddenly, and Luo Yuanping was a little confused.
The pursuit of rich Russian wives.
In 2011, Anhui Satellite TV just held a variety show, the content is to imitate celebrities, when the Immortal Tomb took a fancy to Luo Yuanping, who was popular on the Internet. If he can imitate Putin, the show's ratings will definitely increase greatly.
So not long after, Luo Yuanping received an invitation from Anhui Satellite TV.
On TV? This is a big challenge for Luo Yuanping, he has not been very confident since he was a child, and he is worried that he will be too nervous and humiliated after he goes up.
But at the same time, the program team gave him a very tempting condition: "Just delay your time by one day, and we will pay you thousands of yuan." ”
A few thousand yuan is a sky-high price for Luo Yuanping, and such a generous salary is extremely heartwarming to him.
After some struggle, Luo Yuanping made a decision: "Go to the show!" ”
The program was recorded smoothly, and although Luo Yuanping rarely spoke, it gave people a sense of majesty, which was very close to Putin's image. On this day, the program team gave Luo Yuanping a few thousand yuan according to the agreement. Luo Yuanping was very excited in his heart, this money was easy to earn, and the medicine money for his mother to buy medicine next month was solved.
Sure enough, after the program was broadcast, many people were attracted by this Chinese version of Putin and then went to see the program, and then Luo Yuanping was more popular with the majority of netizens. Slowly, more and more programs came to the door, and Luo Yuanping, who had an experience, was no longer entangled, but gladly agreed.
With the growth of fame, Luo Yuanping's appearance fee reached 5,000 yuan once, and the highest even reached 15,000 yuan once.
This money has greatly improved Luo Yuanping's difficult life, and it can be said that the originally difficult Luo family has brought earth-shaking changes.
Over time, Luo Yuanping's frequent appearance on television also attracted the attention of Phoenix Satellite TV, and they wrote a special report for even Luo Yuanping. It was this report that made Luo Yuanping's image move from China to the international world.
Britain's Daily Telegraph published an article titled "Vladimir Putin's Twin Brothers in China?!" news.
Someone in the news quipped that if Putin could not attend two simultaneous meetings in the future because of his busy official duties, "it would be better to ask his Chinese twin brothers for help."
Subsequently, other countries reported similar news. Especially in Russia, people are full of curiosity about Luo Yuanping.
"This Chinese really looks exactly like our leaders, how can there be such a miraculous thing under the heavens?"
So some Russian media also found Luo Yuanping, hoping that he could come to Russia to participate in TV programs.
Originally, at the beginning, Luo Yuanping was more resistant in his heart. If he had been better in his own country, he would not have wanted to go that far. However, due to the perseverance of the other party and the encouragement of relatives and friends, Luo Yuanping finally decided to try it.
In order to increase the ratings of the program, the Russian media has already done enough publicity.
So on the day of the show, almost every family waited in front of the TV to see the legendary president's twin brother.
In fact, Luo Yuanping did not disappoint them either. In addition to the appearance of the natural resemblance, Luo Yuanping also imitated Putin's movements and demeanor.
This made people in Russia can't help but sigh in an instant: "It's too similar! ”
Luo Yuanping participated in the program in Russia
The show was a success, and Luo Yuanping returned to China. However, he never thought of it, because this time he let himself be targeted by a rich Russian woman.
This rich woman is not simply talking, she is really rich. Big business in Russia, and the family has villas, mansions, and sports cars. The main point is that the rich woman is an avid fan of Putin, and she wants to marry Putin.
Of course, for her, it is clearly a fantasy.
But now there is a person who looks so godlike as Putin, and she has no reason not to be moved.
"Even if you can't marry Putin, it's not a loss to marry someone who looks so much like him!"
Therefore, the rich woman launched a crazy pursuit of Luo Yuanping. However, for her several naked overtures to face, Luo Yuanping chose to refuse.
He knew that the two were people on different tracks. Moreover, he had been single for most of his life, and he had no intention of starting a family and marrying and having children, and now his only wish was to be able to take care of his mother.
Moreover, Luo Yuanping did not lose himself: "Haha she is just because I look too similar to Putin, I am still very clear in my heart." ”

Later, no matter how persevering the rich woman was, Luo Yuanping's attitude was as resolute as ever, and the rich woman, who had no other way, had no choice but to return to China. There are many people who do not understand the decision made by Luo Yuanping, people who are rich and powerful and rich can see you, isn't this a good thing? Why refuse?
In fact, we have to say that Luo Yuanping is still very smart.
He knows that he is only able to be active in front of the public with a face similar to Putin, but this does not mean that he is indeed capable of adapting to a completely different life.
That's why he rejected the pursuit of a rich Russian woman.
"Maybe I promised her and I'll regret it for the rest of my life."
Man, you are sober!
So how is he doing now?
With the replacement of the data of the times, Luo Yuanping, who became popular by relying on the extreme similarity of Putin's appearance, has gradually been forgotten. Life gradually returned to peace, Luo Yuanping from the past invitations continue to no one cares, such a gap can not help but make him feel a little sad in his heart.
But slowly he also recognized the reality, looking back on the past two years, Luo Yuanping also had countless emotions: "At least I am also a person who has seen the world." ”
Yes, for ordinary farmers, he did open the door to the new world, and in order to eat enough, Luo Yuanping had to go back to his old business of moving things.
In 2014, Luo Yuanping found an air-conditioning company and resumed working as a porter.
Later, when someone interviewed him or took a photo, Luo Yuanping clearly said that he wanted money, so gradually no one would come. Some people may ask, after experiencing such a huge gap, can Luo Yuanping still live well in the village?
In fact, he was relieved. Although he had not studied for several years, Luo Yuanping's suffering because of his appearance since he was a child also made him more mature in mind than others. Therefore, Luo Yuanping also understood a lot of truths, even if he became unattracted, he had no other complaints.
"Anyway, I'm the same now as before, and the money I earned when I went out before has also improved my living conditions a little, and I've long been satisfied."
Yes, in fact, there are few people in the world who are so sober. It just has to be said that if Luo Yuanping had planned and arranged his life when he was first popular, maybe he would have become different now. However, at that time, Luo Yuanping did not think of the future, so he was forced to become a porter under the pressure of life.
The ending is lamentable and emotional.
But then again, although Luo Yuanping was ostracized because of his appearance, he was also famous for his appearance.
All of his experiences are also wonderful!
