A photo of a beautiful female bodyguard spotted near the car of Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi immediately went viral on Chinese social media turning her into an instant online sensation.
Internet users did some quick digging and the mysterious officer was soon identified as Shu Xin, a 25-year-old People’s Liberation Army soldier from Guizhou province.
Upon further investigation by enamored netizens, it was discovered that she was even named as one of the “10 most charming female PLA soldiers,” in 2013. Last weekend, she was one of many Chinese army personnel assigned to protecting delegates during the G20 Summit.
