A mysterious man who guarded the Olympic torch against the damn mobs of Pro-Tibet protesters has become the hottest thing in China since that monk who set himself on fire. The hunk, who has remained reclusive and anonymous in the tradition of the humble Communists and Brad Pitt, is being hailed as an idol because he protected the country’s image by shielding the Olympic torch abroad. They even gave him a dreamy name—“Second Brother on the Right,” named after his usual position in relation to the torch. How efficiently lovingly, China.

“Take your hands away from my dearest brother, you cop!” wrote another female fan, “Rabbit,” next to a photo of a British policeman pushing the guard as he wrestled with a protester in a London street during the British leg of the tour.

Uh, okay.

“They praised him for his 360-degree handsome look, well-built body in perfect proportion, refined and exemplary postures, smile and courtesy to torch bearers, his pals and audience, and determination to safeguard the Olympic spirit,” reads his entry in the Wikipedia web database.

And as we all know, anything on Wikipedia must be true. But what about after the abs and good looks? What else do the Chinese girls see in this “Second Brother” from another mother?

“In torch relay pictures, he stayed calm and confident during violent situations, and gracious, graceful and proud in most others … Those (other) stars or idols lacking an unpolluted and vigorous temperament are not attractive any longer.”

Yeah, plus he’s not an ugly little Chinese girl, either, so that’s a big plus on his side.
