"Lv Xianren" tells the story of five ordinary young people in just 3 minutes and 40 seconds, but it illuminates the youth of this era. Among these five people are school-going mother Liu Xiuxiang, amputee Liao Zhi, and China's first sign language lawyer Tang Shuai, but there is a special person among these five people. His status as an Internet celebrity makes him a bit eye-catching, but also a bit embarrassing, and his age makes him particularly inspirational. People who often play short videos should be familiar with him. He is Lu Xianren. The rise of short video platforms such as Douyin has made the dream of amateur stars come true. The invention and creation that Geng Geng loved - a craft of playing with soldering, became the "Shang Shu" of the Ministry of Justice, and spread all over the Internet. It also became the prototype of Huang Bo in "My Hometown and Me"; Peking University girl Li Xueqin also came to cry.
In the finals of "Crosstalk Rookies", Teacher Maomao, who disguised herself as a man, became an Internet favorite because she spoke Guizhou dialect. Zhu Gen, a former Zibo entrepreneur, played the boring Chairman Zhu. Short videos created the most beautiful ordinary dreams in the most open era, and Lu Xianren, like them, is a beneficiary of short videos. In the fitting room at China International Fashion Week in spring and summer, Lu Xianren was calm and collected. He has long been accustomed to big shows. But before becoming a professional model, he never imagined that one day he would represent China in international exhibitions and fashion shows. Because for him, who was born in rural Guangxi, all this is really like a dream. Lu Xianren, formerly known as Lu Kaigang, was born in 1999 in a rural village in Hengxian County, Guangxi. Both parents are crane drivers and work outside all year round.
Having grown up with his grandmother, he has always lagged behind in academic performance. He doesn't like studying. He often went for walks in the fields with other children. Skipping school is commonplace. When he was a teenager, Lu Kaigang accidentally saw a modeling program on TV. From then on, he fell in love with the T stage and fell into this dream, unable to extricate himself. Because he was born in a rural area, his grandmother could not afford a teacher, so he could only learn fashion shows by imitating models on TV. After school, in the fields, there was only Lu Kaigang's performance. He practices all the time, dreaming of one day actually walking on the catwalk. Grandma hoped that he could learn a craft and rely on it to make a living, and at least spend the rest of his life worrying about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
According to his grandmother's wishes, Lu Kaikang worked as an apprentice in a car repair shop. But it wasn’t long before the auto repair shop closed. In order to make a living, Lu Kaigang tried various manual labors. He washed dishes, learned to cut hair, washed cars, and worked on an assembly line. The only thing that remained constant was his love for modeling. When he had nothing to do in the dormitory, he practiced fashion shows. The workers in the dormitory didn't understand him and thought he was neither a man nor a woman and there was something wrong with his brain. His first short video also went viral in the dormitory. No one thought he was serious. After uploading the video, Lu Kaigang suffered more attacks and abuse, with vulgar language. But Lu Kaigang doesn't care what others say. Everyone thought he relied on his gorgeous outfits to attract attention and attention, but only Lu Kaikang knew that he really liked being a model.
Because he has no money to buy clothing materials, no professional designers to help him tailor his clothes, and no way to walk on the catwalk, he desperately wants to wear "junk" by himself. At first, the only items no one wanted were garbage bags, scraps of fabric and leather, discarded blankets, sheets and straw hats. Later, he had leaves, branches and various flowers. Ba Ba Lu Kai just started thinking. When it comes to clothes, he knows how to match and dress them up. No one wants ordinary crappy plastic sheds or pieces of white cloth. They can be paired with it and the visual comfort is very high. Because those who truly love life should always be young and always have tears in their eyes. Just like what Gao Xiaosong said at the end of the "Passenger A" clip: There is no way out of this world, please go on by yourself. For all the dreams that are still shining on the road, for all the young people singing on the road. Hopefully we can all go our own way.
