The 'Little Fatty' meme, featuring Qian Zhijun (Xiao Pang), is widely considered one of the first viral sensations of the Chinese internet. Originating in 2003 from a candid photo taken at a middle school road safety event, his suspicious sideways glance and chubby cheeks captured the imagination of early internet users. The image sparked a massive wave of 'photoshopping' where his face was superimposed onto famous characters from movies, historical paintings, and pop culture icons like the Mona Lisa or Harry Potter. This phenomenon predated modern meme culture as we know it, representing a pioneering moment in user-generated content and digital humor. Today, it remains a legendary symbol of internet nostalgia and the power of a single, expressive face.
