72 year old, Liu Qianping is causing quite a stir in China wearing a selection of frilly skirts and thigh-high tights.
The grandfather of Lv Ting, who was spent decades working as a farmer in the Hunan province now models for his granddaughter’s business on Taobao, the Chinese version of eBay.
Lv Ting told sources that she invited her grandfather to visit her in the southern province of Guangzhou earlier this month, and while unpacking boxes of clothes to sell, he pulled out a hot pink cloak, and slipped it on.
Liu seemed to have worn it well, and a friend then assembled some amateur lighting and took some photos that were later posted online.
It appears that Lv’s grandfather is enjoying the attention. “My grandfather is happier than before, he enjoys being interviewed; he calls our relatives at our hometown about his experiences here in the city”, Lv said.
Liu’s popularity over the page has also translated into higher sales for the fledgling company, which only launched in May. “I wasn’t intended to raise the sales. It’s just for fun, for both my grandfather and me I’m surprised that this went viral online, she said.
The range of clothes Liu models has now been dubbed “Grandpa style”.
A rather unique story this is, but it’s never too late to live in the moment!
