Zhang Hongming, who started the "Study Xi Fan Club" microblog on Sina during November 2012, has grabbed national attention.

The microblog details the movements of Xi Jingping, who was elected general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China last November, via photos provided by both the public and journalists. On February 10, Zhang posted a notice claiming to be the microblogger.

Zhang, a Sichuan native, was born in the 1980s and works as a painter in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province.
