A Chinese Television host from Guangdong TV by the name of Ou Zhihang does pushups completely naked near China's National Stadium (the now famous “Bird's Nest"), near the Beijing's National Grand Theater, in Pudong, Shanghai and by the Great Wall.
"I love my country, I also love my body," Zhihang notes in his blog. "I contrast my tiny body with the 'miracle of the world' through the popular exercise—pushups."
And on related news, Tom Ford denies any involvement in this stunt. Kidding.
