网红表情包本人“假笑男孩”最近来中国了，还在故宫摆出了自己招牌式“假笑”。那么，他到底是怎么火起来的呢？

Gavin, the "meme boy" who has taken the Internet by storm with his unique reaction faces, landed in China last Saturday for a surprise visit that was eagerly awaited by Chinese fans who could not wait to create more memes while he tours China.

以独一无二的“假笑脸”席卷网络的表情包男孩加文，上周六惊喜空降中国，而期待已久的中国粉丝们也迫不及待地想在他的中国之旅期间P出更多表情包。

The seven-year-old internet celebrity’s first stop was the Palace Museum, also known as the Forbidden City, a historical landmark in Beijing. During his visit, Gavin was captured dressing up like a little emperor and posing with an awkward smile.

这位7岁网红男孩的首站是北京历史性地标——故宫，又称紫禁城。游览期间，加文被拍到打扮成小皇帝的样子，并露出了尴尬的微笑。

This seemingly uneasy smile, as a matter of fact, is what has made Gavin a star in China.

事实上，正是这样的尬笑让加文在中国成了明星。

Gavin’s unpretentious reactions soon went viral. “People started to comment about his reaction and how great it was,” Mastodon told US media outlet Select All.

加文真实简单的反应一下就火了。“人们开始评论他的表情有多棒，”马斯托顿在接受美国媒体Select All采访时表示。

Memes made with Gavin’s funny reactions started to spread around the Internet, and they transcended national boundaries and reached China.

加文的搞笑表情包很快在网上流传开来，并且超越了国界，来到了中国。

When Chinese netizens discovered Gavin, they fell in love with the boy’s awkward smile which they interpreted as polite but reluctant – a very relatable emotion that many people experience in socially awkward situations.

中国网友看到加文的表情包后，便爱上了这个男孩的尬笑，大家都觉得这种礼貌又不情愿的微笑十分接地气，在尴尬的社交场合中人们都会遇到。

Fans created many memes with Gavin’s Instagram photos and have used them on chat apps and social media platforms, particularly when they want to express helplessness, awkwardness or forced positivity in a harsh situation. They even came up with a nickname for him – “the boy with a fake smile.”

粉丝们用加文Instagram账号上的照片做了不少表情包，当他们想表达无助、尴尬或者在艰难处境下被迫保持微笑，就会在聊天应用以及社交媒体平台上使用这些表情包。粉丝们还给加文起了个外号 —— “假笑男孩”。

Having amassed a huge audience in China, an account was created in Gavin’s name on the Chinese social media platform Sina Weibo in July. Over 1.6 million people have followed “the account.”
