The 31-year-old Pakistani fishmonger rose to fame in recent weeks.Not comfortable with shouting about his fish to attract customers，he came up with a simple song that someone caught on video and posted on YouTube earlier this year.It has been viewed over 7 million times. “‘One Pound Fish’changed my whole life，”said Nazir，who returned to Pakistan to a hero’s welcome and has been filled with requests to perform and do advertisements.“I am so happy now.” In_an_era_in_which_the_Internet_seems_to_offer_almost_everyone_15_minutes_of_fame，Nazir’s_YouTube_video_could_have_been_the_end_of_the_story.But Warner Music offered Nazir a deal to record a version of“One Pound Fish”．In a Bollywood-style video，he performs together with dancers to a South Asian-influenced pop beat.The music video has been viewed nearly 9 million times since it was posted on YouTube about three weeks ago.In the end，“One Pound Fish”made it to No.29 on the chart.PSY’s“Gangnam Style”ranked No.6. It has been quite a ride for Nazir.He grew up in the little-known town of Pattoki near the eastern city of Lahore.His father owned a transport company，but his passion was always music，and he spent his youth singing both religious songs and pop hits by stars like Michael Jackson. He traveled to Britain to study but eventually got a work permit and started working as a fishmonger in London nine months ago.He now wants to pursue a career in music，but the fish stall in London will always hold a special place in his heart. “I can’t forget England，Queens Market，my fish stall because that place changed my whole life，”said Nazir. 语篇解读：本文主要讲的是Muhammad Nazir的非常有传奇色彩的经历，鱼和YouTube改变了他的人生。[来源:学.科.网Z.X.X.K] 1．Muhammad Nazir rose to fame when________.
