The rail-thin runner has become a phenom on China’s social media app, Weibo, as photos show him whipping out his lighter and burning butt after butt during his runs.At the Xin’anjiang Marathon in Jiande, China, on Nov. 6, for instance, Uncle Chen racked up a time of 3:28, finishing 574th in a field of 1,500 runners. During the Guangzhou Marathon in 2018, he earned a time of 3:36. And in 2019, he pulled in a 3:32 at the Xiamen Marathon.
