A boy from the Dong ethnic group has reportedly become one of youngest fans of China's premier.

The eight-year-old followed Premier Li Keqiang and used a mobile phone to continually take photos of him during Li's visit to Pudong, a poverty-stricken village in Southwest China's Guizhou province, on Saturday.

The boy, about 1.1 meters tall, finally attracted Li's attention and got a chance to take a group photo with him as he couldn't stop popping flashes.
