The Chinese magazine
ESQUIRE has listed 24 male nominees
for this year's Mr. ESQUIRE under the characteristics of "Health,
Sensibility, Wisdom and Wealth."
All of the nominees are pioneers in their own fields, including
cross-talk artist Guo Degang (L), soccer commentator Huang
Jianxiang, musician Song Ke, filmmaker Zhang Weiping, actor Huang
Xiaoming, and snooker star Ding Junhui.
Chief-editor of ESQUIRE magazine, Wang Feng, explained
that this year's nominees are younger and more energetic than last
year's. Nominees must have an established career, wide popularity,
talent, and charisma.
The winners will be decided by online polls and will be
announced at an awards ceremony to be held in Beijing next month.
