Ten years have passed, how is that sharp guy who was once popular all over the country and made people feel distressed now?

Nowadays, the Internet celebrity economy is prevalent. As long as you have fans and traffic, making money is very easy.

So in order to earn traffic, many people "pretend to be crazy and act stupid" on the live broadcast platform. The more outrageous, the better. The more ugly they are, the more people will watch. A trend of "not crazy, no live broadcast" has been formed.

Why is this? This is also thanks to those "originators of Internet celebrities", such as Sister Furong and Sister Feng more than ten years ago. They became popular by relying on their crazy behavior and words.

With the "example" of the predecessors, those who come after will naturally imitate.

However, there is such an Internet celebrity. He does not pretend to be crazy to gain attention. He completely "acts in his true colors". As a result, he is more popular than Sister Furong and Sister Feng, and even attracted CCTV and foreign media to report on it. .

This internet celebrity is the famous Sharp Brother back then.

In 2010, Sister Feng had already become popular. When she was bragging about her high IQ on various variety shows, a photography enthusiast in Ningbo, Zhejiang accidentally took photos while doing street photography in the downtown area one day. Photographed a passerby.

This passerby is a homeless man. He is holding a cigarette, with a thin cheek and a frown. He is wearing a cool-colored coat, his hair is messy and casual, and his steps are like a big brother.

This photography enthusiast felt that although this man was a homeless man, he had a unique temperament, so he uploaded the photo to a photography forum.

Also wrote an article "Instant kill of Yuuchi's ultimate gorgeous and first-class passerby handsome guy!" So handsome that it will blind your eyes! "Seeking relatives for detailed information on human flesh", accompanied by an Internet slang at the time: "Don't be obsessed with brother, brother is just a legend!"

Subsequently, this photo of the homeless man was uploaded to the Tianya Forum. It instantly detonated the entire network and attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of netizens. Its popularity was enough to compete with Sister Feng at the time.

Some netizens said that when they saw the photo of Brother Sharp while playing games in an Internet cafe, they all fell in love with his handsomeness. Some people called him the "best beggar" or "the prince of beggars".

How popular was Brother Sharp at that time?

Not only has he gained popularity online, but traditional print media have also begun to follow and report on him. Even CCTV has planned a program called "Legendary Sharp Brother".

As his fame grew, Brother Sharp’s photos were uploaded to Japanese BSS and received favorable comments from Japanese netizens, who all left messages:

“He looks like an Asian star. Style",

"If someone told me that this photo was a private photo of a popular Chinese actor, I don't think I would doubt it."

After that, Brother Sharp said. It was reported by foreign media and became a global topic. It became popular in China and left Sister Furong and Sister Feng several blocks away.

However, Brother Sharp didn’t want to be famous. His popularity was completely unintentional. After media reports, Brother Sharp’s family found him. Only then did everyone realize that Brother Sharp was not only a homeless man. Han is still a psychopath.

What has Brother Sharp experienced?

Brother Sharp’s real name is Cheng Guorong, and he was born in Jiangxi in 1978.

He originally had a very happy family, with a considerate wife and two lovely children.

In order to make a living, he went to work in other places when he was in his 20s. Unexpectedly, his wife, who was taking care of the children at home, died in a car accident. Unable to bear the blow, he developed mental problems. He never returned home and became a homeless man. A homeless man rummaging through a trash can for food.

Brother Sharp’s family had been looking for him before, but it was not easy due to the huge crowds.

Later, after a photo became famous, Brother Sharp’s family got clues about him. With the help of kind-hearted people, he received psychological treatment, successfully recognized his family, and was eventually recognized by his mother and younger brother. Take it home.

At that time, Brother Sharp had already cut off his hair and changed into clean clothes, and was no different from ordinary people.

Brother Sharp’s fame surprised his family, but no one knew whether it was a blessing or a curse at the time.

After Brother Sharp was taken back by his family, many brokerage companies approached him to cooperate with him, and the conditions were very good. His reputation was so great at the time that many people wanted to make a fortune from him.

Since Brother Xili’s wife left, his children have been taken care of by his mother and younger brother. In order to help the family’s financial difficulties, Brother Xili and his family finally chose to cooperate with a certain company’s fashion show.

However, Brother Sharp doesn’t have any acting experience, and he can’t learn it even if he asks the team to teach him. Moreover, he can’t take care of himself, and he can’t even speak a complete sentence.

The merchant put him in new clothes, but he was dull and shivering. When he was asked to perform on stage, he ran to the toilet and hid. He couldn't scream no matter how hard he got off the stage. He screamed and cried as soon as he got off the stage.

As a result, the whole show was very unsuccessful. Seeing that Brother Sharp's mental state was getting worse and worse, the show was ultimately unable to be held.

Later, Brother Sharp also made a guest appearance in a movie, playing a beggar in Lin Zhiying and Yao Di's "Transformation".

But he still couldn't adapt to such a life. When he was about to collapse, he decided to give up these "high-paying" jobs, return to normal life, and became a deliveryman.

But in the end, due to mental problems, I was unable to do the job and could not fully integrate into society. In the end, I had no choice but to let it go and return home.

Gradually, he became a person who often went out and picked up garbage outside to eat. His family could not lock him in, so they could only let him go out. Occasionally, when he came home, he would eat at home. live.

Brother Sharp was admitted to a mental hospital in 2013. A year later, he was discharged from the hospital and wandered again, and his whereabouts remain a mystery.

Brother Sharp is different from Sister Feng and others. Sister Feng is pretending to be crazy, but Brother Sharp is really crazy, so he doesn’t want to be manipulated by others. He just wants to return to his own world, even if he looks down and out. Unbearable, this undoubtedly makes people feel inexplicably distressed.

Now Brother Sharp is 42 years old. He is no longer "sharp" and his fame is gone. He has become a homeless person drowned in the world.

Although he has only been popular for half a year, his name has already left a huge mark on the Chinese Internet.

His story is very sad. He probably never thought about becoming famous and changing his destiny to make a lot of money. All he wanted was to go back to the past, with his two children cuddling together. Next to his wife, he works quietly...

This is the life that Brother Sharp longs for most. He is retrieving the beauty of the past in a wandering way. This is his world. Even if it's just a fantasy.

Finally, I wish you the best, Brother Sharp. May you be well, undisturbed by the mortal world, and indulge in the mountains and rivers.
