A Chinese grandfather has won worldwide fame after photographs of him modelling women's clothing were posted to the internet.
一位中國外公迅速走紅網絡，他為自己的外孫女的女裝店拍攝了一組模特照片，被傳上網絡后迅速引起大量網友圍觀。
Seventy-two-year-old Liu Xianping posed in outfits from his granddaughter's fashion store Yuekou for a joke. But when Ms Lv posted the snaps online, the two were surprised to find the photos go viral almost overnight.
72歲的劉謙平為外孫女的天貓網店悅蔻當女裝模特，起初只是覺得好玩。但當外孫女也就是店主呂小姐將照片傳上網絡后，他們很驚訝地發現，外公的照片簡直是一夜爆紅。
What began as a lighthearted joke fast became a successful publicity campaign after the images went global - and Ms Lv saw sales soar.
在這些照片通過網絡傳遍全球后，當初的小玩笑已經迅速成了成功的宣傳活動。呂小姐的網店近期銷量直線上升。
According to China Newsweek, Ms Lv said the stunt was all her grandfather's idea. 'He picked up one piece and tried to give some advice on how to mix and match,' she said. 'We thought it was fun so we started shooting.'
根據《中國新聞周刊》的報道，呂小姐說拍攝這組照片都是外公的主意。她說：“外公隨手拿起一件衣服，然后就給我建議說怎么搭配會好看，然后我們就想說如果外公穿上這些衣服肯定會很有趣，于是就拍了這些照片?！?/div>
The outfits, designed for teenaged girls, feature bright pink capes, striped tights and over the knee socks, with plenty of lace, ribbon and frippery.
這家網店賣的女裝主要針對青少年女生，主打單品有亮粉色的斗篷，條紋緊身襪和過膝短襪，衣服也多帶蕾絲、綢帶和比較艷麗的裝飾。
Posing in a sequence of outfits, his long slim legs and slender physique shows Yuekou's clothing off to its full advantage - and has earned the store infinite more hits than if a regular model had been used.
劉謙平拍了一組女裝照片，因為腿比較長比較細，身材也比較苗條，所以外公非常好地展示了網店里賣的女裝，效果也比平常用的普通模特要好得多，為網店帶來了超多的點擊量。
Indeed, since Liu's photographs, posted on Tmall, one of China's leading retail sites, went viral, sales at Yuekou have increased fivefold.
而自外公的照片發到天貓（中國最大的零售網站之一）上之后，呂小姐網店的銷量火爆，現在銷售量已經比以前增加了5 倍。
For his part, Liu told China Newsweek that he is glad to model for the store - and happy to be able to help his family.
在接受《中國新聞周刊》的采訪時，外公劉謙平也表示很開心可以為網店做模特，很開心能幫到自己的家人。
'Why unacceptable for someone like me to wear women’s clothes? Modelling for the store is helping my granddaughter and I have nothing to lose,' he said. 'We were very happy on the day of the shooting. I’m very old and all that I care about is to be happy.'
他表示：“我這樣的人穿女裝拍照片有什么不能接受的？為網店當模特可以幫到我外孫女兒，我也沒什么損失。拍照那天我們都非常開心。我這么大年紀的人了，一切開心就好?！?/p>
