The sigh of "There is no sweeping monk in the world" instantly flashed on social networks.
Extended data:
Li Xiaowen is widely known to the public because of a photo: he has gray hair, a beard, coarse trousers, half of his calf exposed, and a pair of shoes barefoot, but this image is a report of the Chinese University of Science and Technology. The great contrast between image and identity aroused the interest of netizens, and people affectionately called him "academician of cloth shoes".
According to media reports. Li Xiaowen himself doesn't quite agree with the name "sweeping monk", and feels a bit like Ling Huchong in character. Like Ling Huchong, he likes drinking, and he often doesn't leave his body.
