"Back home, what can I do?"
Today, we're launching the documentary "I'm Fine in My Hometown" to try to provide a new answer.
The documentary recreates the stories of these three returning creators. You've probably followed them —
The handmade Geng, known as the useless inventor, the Yunnan Brother who hid the southwest cuisine in the video, the Zhang classmate who made people dream back to the countryside...

Because of the creation of Medium Video, they were able to stay in their hometown and have more opportunities to use their talents to realize their dreams.

In 2016, Geng Shuai made up his mind to end the North Drift.
After graduating from junior high school, he wandered for more than ten years, went to five or six cities, and worked more than ten types of work. In beijing, where he started his job, he went to the construction site to clean up and receive a monthly salary of 900 yuan. At that time, he dreamed of becoming a firecracker factory owner. Back in the village, he seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the boss's dream.
Today, he has a more well-known nickname "Handmade Geng".

In 2016, Dong Meihua decided to stay with her family.
When she was a child, she always wanted to leave the mountains. The mountains are barren, and the parents leave their hometown to work outside the country to earn money to support their families. She worked hard to get into college and went to Chengdu to work as she wished. As a result, her father fell seriously ill, and she chose to take care of her family and return to dashan. At that time, she will also be anxious: how to make a living?
Now, she has become a creator of tens of millions of fans, "West Yunnan Brother".

In 2020, Zhang Kai decided to return to his hometown in the northeast.
He is 36 years old, has worked as a big truck driver, driven a repair shop, raised chickens, let go of silkworms... But not once was the business successful. He wanted to give it a try to make a video, and maybe there would be a new change.
In 2021, he used the "Classmate Zhang" account to set off a wave of rural nostalgia.
Their stories tell us that returning to our hometown is not a kind of defeat. Instead, choose to calm down, examine life, examine love, and start over.
Handgun seems to have found someone who understands his invention. A netizen left a message for his work: "You have to ask what use it is, it may not be of much use." What is the point of it, you ask? Friends, romance is the greatest meaning. ”
The little brother of Western Yunnan found a way to grow up with his hometown. She spread the food culture of Yunnan through video, set up an e-commerce team, and helped more hometown agricultural products to go to the whole country.
After showing rural life, Zhang was thinking about what he could do to help his hometown by shooting videos. He noticed that on both sides of the road, middle-aged women were selling some hometown specialties, beans grown at home, and mushrooms picked in the mountains.
In 2021, we have witnessed countless such medium-term video creators: back home and embracing life.
Whether you are in a big city or back home, whether you are a photographer or a welder, as long as you have a dream, everyone can become a video creator and create greater value.
