A Zambian couple has welcomed a beautiful baby boy who looks like a Chinese.

Zambians were left in shock after seeing a photo of the baby who looks Asian. They expressed that the Chinese contractors that come into Zambia are not only there to make roads but they also come to make babies.

Fabio who works as a taxi driver expressed his love for his son and gratitude for his wife’s former boss who helped a lot during the pregnancy and sent money to the couple.

He further said he named his son, Fabio Ji Wu Phiri, after his wife’s former boss who is a Chinese Engineer named, Ji Wu Young. He expressed that doing so was the only way he could honour the man for his help.
