The author of the letter to the General Secretary was an elementary school student by the name of Niu Ziru, a fourth grader at the Best International School on Hangmu Road. . . .These screenshots were taken on December 18, 2014, and show that the article, which appeared on page A12 of the print addition and which was originally available here - http://zzwb.zynews.com/html/2014-12/17/content_622386.htm - was deleted from the Zhengzhou Evening News website.
During last month's APEC meeting convened in Beijing, Niu Ziru saw Uncle Xi photographed together with all the other economic leaders, "I felt that Uncle Xi carried himself like a Chairman, and did credit to his countrymen, it was just that he was a bit fat." Therefore, at the end of the letter he wrote: "Ok, so lets talk about something a bit lighter. Uncle Xi, you could stand to lose some weight. You don't have to be as thin as Obama. It would be ok to just look like Putin."
给总书记写信的小学生名叫牛孜儒，今年9岁半，现在航海路贝斯特上小学四年级。

上个月，APEC会议在北京召开，牛孜儒从电视上看到习大大和各经济体领导人集体合影，“感觉习大大很有主席范儿，为咱国人露脸了，就是有些胖了。”所以，在信的结尾，牛孜儒写道：“好了，我们谈点轻松的话题，习大大，您可以减减肥了。不用像奥巴马那么瘦，像普京一样就可以了。”
