Disabled Lao Liu

After 70, Lao Liu was honored as "Brother Liu" on the Internet. On April 1 day, 2065438, Lao Liu began her live broadcast career for the first time.

In reality, people call Lao Liu "optimistic Liu Ge".

On 20 17, Lao Liu was involved in a car accident, in which his spine was injured and his lower limbs were inconvenient to move. After three months in hospital, Lao Liu recovered at home for half a year before he could barely stand up with crutches.

Before the accident, Lao Liu was an ordinary factory employee. A son just went to college and his daughter is still in high school. Lao Liu's wife is also a factory worker.

After the car accident, the other party's compensation did not compensate the dragon, and the subsequent recovery treatment cost was still a big sum for the Liu family.

During Lao Liu's hospitalization, his wife could not work and there was no financial source at home. The two children have to spend money on study, living expenses and treatment every day.

Hundreds of thousands of deposits were quickly spent, and some of them were borrowed from relatives.

After leaving the hospital, Lao Liu once gave up hope. He feels that his life is like this: a disabled person with no ability to work, no income and a small child. What should he do with his future life?

If Liu's wife hadn't been silently supporting him behind his back, I'm afraid Liu would have given up hope of standing up.

Lao Liu said: One day I saw my wife working overtime until evening 10 before coming home. The first thing I do when I go home is to give Lao Liu a bath. At that moment, he felt that if he had no hope, the family would collapse.

A healthy and normal person with a job and income suddenly became a disabled person with no financial resources and even difficulty walking. It takes a long time to repair the psychological gap.

Lao Liu decided to change himself. The first thing he does when he gets up every morning is to walk around the village road several times. When he first left the hospital, Lao Liu was very grumpy and didn't want to say hello when he saw his neighbors.

But Lao Liu decided to change his mind. He is disabled anyway. Might as well change his life. If he has no hope and he doesn't want out of the dark, how can the sunshine light up his life?

Lao Liu tried to get out of the house, get out of the psychological shackles and bring more laughter to his neighbors and family. In the past, in the eyes of neighbors, Lao Liu was a dull person who could not speak very well. But this serious injury changed Liu's temperament.

Later someone called Lao Liu: optimistic Lao Liu.

By chance, Lao Liu came into contact with the live broadcast industry for the first time.

In order to keep in touch with her son who is studying abroad, Lao Liu finally spent hundreds of dollars on a mobile phone, learned to open videos with her son, learned to watch news online and watch live broadcasts online.

When watching the live broadcast, he saw that there were disabled people like him in the live broadcast; At this time, Lao Liu was thinking: they can broadcast live, why can't I broadcast live?

On April 1, 20 18, April Fool's Day, Lao Liu began his live broadcast career.

At the beginning of the live broadcast, Lao Liu just held his mobile phone on his face awkwardly, and only a few boring people chatted with Lao Liu without saying a word.

Every time Lao Liu saw himself in front of the camera, he felt unnatural and even blushed, but he began to try to chat with only a few viewers, have a heart-to-heart conversation and share each other's thoughts.

On the first day of the live broadcast, Lao Liu only aired for 2 hours and didn't receive the gift of 1 cent.

At noon the next day, Lao Liu began to broadcast live again. This live broadcast seems to have a few more people than the day before, but no one has given Liu a gift.

Lao Liu and dozens of fans spent a long and short week in the live broadcast. He only regards the live broadcast as a place where someone can talk to him.

My son is in college, living in other places, and may not be able to go home once a month; My daughter is in high school and also lives on campus; My wife goes to work every day and works late.

Lao Liu exposed himself on the internet and said everything in the live broadcast. He also encouraged each other with some netizens who were in the same boat.

A week later, Lao Liu thought it was time to change the live broadcast mode. He decided to extend the live broadcast time from 2 hours to 4 hours every afternoon. From just chatting with the audience to singing occasionally.

On the eighth day of live broadcast, Lao Liu finally received the first gift from fans. He clearly remembers what the fans said: Big Brother, you are an optimistic person, live a good life.

That gift, Lao Liu himself can get near 50 yuan.

For the first time, Lao Liu realized that someone really wanted to give me a gift. It turned out that I could do live broadcast.

Since then, Lao Liu has been full of more motivation for the live broadcast.

He has no live broadcast time every day, just watching the live broadcast content of other peers and occasionally watching the live broadcast content of some young people; But after watching Liu for a while, I found that there were not many people older than myself. Those audiences seem to like watching young people live, singing, dancing and playing games.

Lao Liu's daily live broadcast time has become 6 hours; Live for 2 hours in the morning and 6 hours in the afternoon.

The number of people watching his live broadcast has finally changed from double digits to three digits.

When Liu was broadcast live for the third month, his luck seemed to come. That day, for the first time, someone brushed a rocket in his live broadcast room. And that gift, Lao Liu himself can get thousands of dollars.

That person is the "first big brother" in Liu's live broadcast room, although this fan is not as old as Liu.

During Liu's live broadcast career, the "big fan" gave Liu nearly 654.38 million yuan in gifts.

If those people looked at Liu alive just because he was a disabled middle-aged man and a father with no ability to work, they felt sorry for him; Then when Liu broadcast live, everyone liked his humor and his optimism.

Fans also said: I always feel something is missing when I don't listen to Liu's live broadcast every day.

Lao Liu's Second Life

In the seventh month of live broadcast, Lao Liu' s monthly income exceeded 10,000 for the first time; After receiving his salary, the first thing Lao Liu did was to pay off his debts.

He said: Even if life at home is hard, you should pay off the debts you owe.

At first, Lao Liu only regarded live broadcast as an interest, and did not think that he could pay back the money by live broadcast, nor did he think that he could live by live broadcast; He just tried to chat with his fans, but he didn't get many gifts. At first, it cost tens of dollars a month, then hundreds of dollars, then thousands of dollars, and finally it cost ten thousand dollars.

After earning more than 10,000 yuan for the first time, Lao Liu finally took the live broadcast as his job. It is still broadcast live for 6 hours every day, but Lao Liu has become harder.

Try to learn new songs, try to think of various topics and interact with fans, and try to learn to enrich yourself during the period when there is no live broadcast.

The live broadcast brought Lao Liu not only spiritual companionship, but also made Lao Liu find the meaning of life and his own value. He said: The live broadcast of this job has brought him a second life and helped him find his own value.

As a disabled father, it is a great relief that he can finally help his family to solve problems by his own efforts.

After 1.5 years of live broadcast, Lao Liu finally paid off all his foreign debts and became comfortable in the live broadcast.

A word that Lao Liu often talks about is: Thank you for the gift from your, thank you for the rocket from your, and thank you for the support from your.

In fact, many people who watch Lao Liu's live broadcast are younger than him.

April 1 day, 2020, is the second anniversary of Liu's live broadcast. In the live broadcast of the day, Lao Liu received a gift of 1 10,000 yuan.

That day, Lao Liu cried for the first time in the live broadcast room. He said that if it weren't for the company of fans and the live broadcast of the industry, perhaps today's Lao Liu would still be a "waste man" pretending to be optimistic.

He had to pretend to be optimistic to hide that he was a worthless "loser"; But after the live broadcast, he met friends from all over the country, made many interesting people, and sometimes ate, drank tea and chatted with offline fans.

His attitude towards live broadcast changed from interest to work, and then from work to an inseparable part of life.

Lao Liu said: If one day he can't broadcast live, and the work of broadcasting live disappears, he may not find the value of his existence.

In the live broadcast, it is the time when Lao Liu laughs the most in a day; After the live broadcast, Lao Liu is often tired and just wants to sleep.

Outside the play, it's all life.

But in this scene broadcast live, Old Liu Can found more sense of belonging and proved that he was not a cripple.

The live broadcast not only brought income to Lao Liu, but also brought more meaning to his life.

But one day, when old Liu Can can no longer broadcast live, where will he find the meaning of his life?

Current situation of live broadcast practitioners and fan groups

I saw a set of data from the internet: men like watching live broadcasts more than women, and watch live broadcasts for at least half an hour at a time.

According to the data report released by a live broadcast platform, professional anchors accounted for 38.3% after 1990. In terms of urban distribution, there are more anchors in northern cities; Among them, the number of anchors in the three northeastern provinces ranked in the top three.

There are more women than men in the anchor industry; Whether amateur or professional anchors, women occupy the majority.

People engaged in the anchor industry have many highly educated talents; Among them, I read a set of data reports. Among the groups with a monthly income of more than 50,000, people with a master's degree or above account for 16.9%.

Don't think that you don't need to be an anchor, just dance, sing and chat in front of the camera. In fact, the higher the income of those anchors, the more efforts they make.

Lao Liu, the disabled anchor interviewed in the above article, earns over 10,000 yuan, and some people feel very relaxed. But Lao Liu spends six hours on the live broadcast every day. After the live broadcast, he will study, exercise, read books and spend money on better equipment.

According to a report survey of a live broadcast platform, 67.8% of the anchors spend more than 1000 yuan per month on self-improvement; 65.7% of the anchors will spend two days a week to improve their abilities.

Some people on the Internet refer to the anchor industry as "internet beggars", but what you don't know is the efforts made by these anchors before they achieve success.

Even if they get the money now and succeed, they still live under great pressure: they have to worry about the day when they can't broadcast live, and what others will do if they don't like watching live broadcasts.

Only by constantly learning, working hard and improving can they keep themselves in an excellent state.

Some people do the live broadcast industry for interest, some people do it to make money, and some people do it to find the value of life, just like Liu, a disabled person.

But no matter what the purpose is, when you choose an industry, if you don't have the corresponding ability, don't work hard behind, just want to enjoy success and get something for nothing, then you won't succeed anyway.
