Li Junhua, a man who was identified as the chairman of the board of the Dao Yuan holiday resort in southeast China's Jiangxi Province, has gotten attention from the media because of his close resemblance to the President Xi Jinping.

Li was photographed in what appears to be his office and he was dressed in a white shirt and black pants. In the photo, his hair is also combed backwards, making him look all the more like the president.

He reportedly started to get attention back in 2012 when tourists who went to the resort where he works started to take pictures with him because of his resemblance to President Xi. Li has dubbed his appearance as a "gift of heaven".

Li narrates that he has been avoiding doing a lot of things now since he resembles the president.

"I avoid many things now. For example, I will avoid staying in public places for too long; I haven't even been to our marketing department once," said Li. 

He also pointed out that whenever he goes on a business trip, he has decided to comb his hair forward rather than backward so as not to make people think that he is the president.

This is not the first time that a President Xi look-alike caught the public's attention. Back in June of last year, social media sites in China went abuzz over a photo of a food hawker near a university in Hunan province who also looked like the president.

The pie hawker, identified as Shao Jianhua, moved to the area just five years ago and decided to put up the food stall as it was a popular food in the city he has come from. His stall has then been visited by a lot of people not only for the food but also for people who wanted to see for themselves if he really did resemble the President Xi Jinping.
