I was lucky enough to meet an internet celebrity in Rwanda, Africa. This is Pengfei who walked into East Africa. He is such a big shot that I couldn&#39;t help but take a photo with him. I asked Pengfei why he was so tanned, and he smiled mischievously, &quot;Don&#39;t be anxious.&quot; The third time we met was probably 18 days after I came to Rwanda. He asked me with a smile, &quot;How come you are tanned more than me? I got the real secret in just one day. If I don&#39;t get tanned, I&#39;ll be embarrassed to say I came to Africa.&quot;
