20 years ago, a young man named Qian Zhijun became famous overnight because of his unique image - "fat" - in the Internet environment at that time. It was the summer of 2003, the Internet was just emerging, there wasn't much content on the Internet, and people's definition of an influencer was relatively simple. In this context, Qian Zhijun quickly became popular on the Internet because of his "fat".
On the eve of the explosion of popularity
Qian Zhijun was born in an ordinary family, his parents were ordinary workers, and the family conditions were not rich. However, his mother, Lin Huiqin, is a very optimistic and caring person, and she always encourages Qian Zhijun to do what he likes and not feel inferior due to external pressure. In such a family environment, the foundation for Qian Zhijun's good character was laid.
Qian Zhijun has a unique appetite since he was a child, and his love of food has gradually made him more obese than his peers. Fat is actually easy to become a point of ridicule for peers, and there is no lack of such ridicule in Qian Zhijun's learning career.
But because of the good character cultivated since childhood, he was able to look at all this gladly, and was able to follow the black, and I have to say that this was a higher attitude to life than many adults at that time.
Unexpected popularity
Back in 2003, the school organized students to participate in activities, and photographers accompanied them to take pictures. Qian Zhijun listened to the teacher's words and did not move, but his little head couldn't help but turn curiously and fly around. The photographer dramatically snapped a picture of the flying sights.
"Little fat" burst into red
The "little fat" Qian Zhijun in the picture is full of affection in his eyes, there is power in this look, it is really looking back, everyone has pressed their excitement, and put their limited energy into unlimited PS without hesitation.
Then, the large-scale spoof of netizens began. First of all, a cat puff netizen used PS to become a comic Indian prince, and then posted it on the cat puff, the title is called "Cat puff original little fat, please add bricks".

If Xiao Fat just let others continue to spoof, Xiao Fat would not be where he is today.

At that time, Xiao Fat was only 15 years old, and after learning that he became popular, he looked a little depressed, how could he become the object of other people's pranks. But relying on Little Fat's family environment since childhood, he has a humor that most people don't have, and he quickly figured it out.
Not only let others prank, but also take the initiative to stand up and prank themselves. Don't you want to see all kinds of funny images of Little Fat? Then I'll shoot a few sets myself for you to see! As a result, various new images of Little Fat have been widely circulated on the Internet.

A life that exploded into popularity
After Qian Zhijun's network became popular, Gao Feng created a small fat network. In 2006, Qian Zhijun accidentally found this website in Baidu search, and Xiaofat contacted Gao Gao according to the contact information provided by the website, and the two met offline.
On the morning of July 18, according to the prior agreement, Qian Zhijun came to Pizza Hut in Jinshan District to wait for the webmaster of "Little Fat Network". At about 10 o'clock, I saw a person walking straight towards Xiao Fat, and he introduced himself: "My name is Gao Feng, Xiao Fat website director." ”
Little Fatty's mood was a little excited at this time, and said: "Hey, you take a closer look at my head, like 'Variety Little Fat'?" Gao Feng said enthusiastically: "Don't say it, it's really similar." ”
"What is quite similar, it is!" Gao Gao said while laughing. In order to verify that he is indeed the little fat in the network, the little fat deliberately put on that contemptuous look, and the result was that Gao Gao was happy.
Subsequently, an article titled "I Saw the "Little Fat" in Life" was published on "Little Fat Network" and posted a group photo, and then many media asked to interview Little Fat. Among the many invitations, I chose to be interviewed by Shaanxi Satellite TV's "Saturday Happy Sky", because Xiao Fat has always liked the hosting of the famous host Wu Zongxian, and I hope to have the honor to have close contact with him. On October 9, 2006, Xiao Fat and Gao Feng stepped on the northbound train and began the first stop after the appearance of "Variety Little Fat": Shaanxi Satellite TV - "Saturday Happy Sky".
Saturday is fun
Soon, Xiao Fat stepped into the entertainment industry and participated in many variety shows, when it was rumored on the Internet that Hollywood was going to shoot "Ghost Blowing Lights" in those years, and Xiao Fat played "Fatty". Although it was later revealed to be fiction, it can also be seen how popular Xiao Fat was at that time.
In 2008, I learned that a director who knew him well was filming a plan for Zeng Zhiwei, and Xiao Fat went to visit the class to "make fun". Who would have thought that after this, Xiaochuan's exposure seemed to be getting lower and lower. People only think that he has been angry, after all, the wave of Internet celebrities is wave-after wave. Sister Furong, Sister Tianxian, Houshe Boy, Sister Feng, Brother Sharp, and constantly "surf the Internet".
Life reflections after the fact
From popularity to no one, the loss in Xiaochuan's heart can be imagined. He decided to settle down and polish himself!
In 2011, Xiao Fat, who had been broken for a long time, re-entered people's attention, but this time it was not a spoof, but a serious wedding photo.

Little Fat seems to have been opened up to Ren Du's second vein, and began to mix like a fish in the entertainment industry. Correspondingly, his wife naturally became his agent. has let Little Fat participate in the hip-hop quartet, love apartment 4, and a dog's college days.

In the later time, Xiao Fat was not dazzled by the prosperity fans in the entertainment industry, but continued to polish his acting skills and concentrate on his life.
In 2015, Xiaochuan's daughter was born, and the romantic wedding photo turned into a sweet group photo of three. Little Fat is determined to leave the entertainment industry and concentrate on bringing the baby.
What doesn't change is that Fatty still doesn't mind people spoofing with his pictures.
But now the little fat who has run to the fourth has been thin enough to be the same as the original judgment, even if you use a glance back, it will be difficult to reproduce the original taste of the year.
The barbaric growth of the early days of the Internet really brought many people who became unexpectedly popular. The Internet celebrities of that year and today's Internet celebrities are indeed worlds apart. There are no routines, only surprise, curiosity, and some sincerity.
Just like Xiao Fat said at the time: I am an ordinary gas station employee, I have never put myself in a high position, I am a little broken child.
