Andy Warhol once said that in the future, everyone would be famous for 15 minutes. For Tamdrin, a 20-year-old ethnic Tibetan, fame took less than 10 seconds. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying posted three tweets complimenting him, and Tamdrin-related topics have had more than 3 billion views on Weibo alone, and frequently top searches on Baidu and Douyin, the Chinese version of video-sharing platform TikTok. In just 10 days, the “Horse Prince of Sichuan” has captured a position that often takes film stars decades to reach. Why has the young man from southwest China’s Litang County drawn nationwide attention? What effect will he have on tourism in his hometown? And what happens if he’s just a flash in the pan?
