(Anhui) Luo Yuanping, a farmer from Longzui Village, Hongqiao Township, Feixi County, looks exactly like Putin, the former Russian President and current Prime Minister. After the report was published, many readers felt that the two looked very similar in the photos. On the other hand, the reporter learned from Longzui Village that after the report, Luo Yuanping became a favorite among the local villagers. Readers exclaimed, "It's so similar." After seeing Luo Yuanping's report, one reader said that Luo Yuanping really looks like Putin, "The two people in the photo have similar facial profiles and consistent expressions. What's more, what's unbelievable is that the shape of their noses, forehead wrinkles, corners of the mouth, and eye color are all strikingly similar. They are so similar." Yesterday evening, the reporter learned from Luo Yuanping's brother Luo Yuanfa that relatives in Hefei called him early in the morning and said that his brother Luo Yuanping had been in the newspaper. "The relatives said that my brother has now become a 'celebrity'. Many citizens in Hefei now know that my brother looks like former Russian President Putin. I was also very excited at the time." "Brother Putin" hopes to go out for a catwalk. Regarding himself suddenly becoming the center of everyone's attention and facing the eyes of everyone, Luo Yuanping said that although "Brother Putin" has now become his new name, he is still "calm". "I am still me, and I still have to work in the fields. There is no big change from before." Luo Yuanping said that he is now 48 years old, but he has always been single. He has lived with his brother for many years. He actually wants to have an independent family life. "I really want to marry a wife and start a family." I heard that you can make money by looking like a celebrity. In order to change the current embarrassing life, Luo Yuanping also wants to use his identity as "Brother Putin" to go out for catwalks. "For example, I can endorse companies or participate in activities, etc., I think it should be possible." Of course, Luo Yuanping's requirements are not high, "I just want to change the current difficult life. No matter what I do, as long as I can do it, I am willing to do it."
