Social media: Professor resembling Einstein becomes online hit

A professor at a university in Fuzhou, capital of Fujian province, became an instant Internet hit earlier this year because he looks like Albert Einstein. Gary Manzo, 68, from the US, has been teaching English and sociology for more than three years in China. He is popular among his students and became an online sensation after photos comparing him with the famous scientist were put online. His students also gave him the nickname "Professor Walk Slowly" because the pronunciation of his last name is similar to the Chinese word "man zou", which means "walk slowly". He uses the name and prints it on his business card.
