断臂小伙工地直播搬砖成网红 已拥有近80万粉丝
Tao Jinjin, who only has one arm, has become a social media phenomenon. He now has nearly 800,000 fans who regularly watch him online hard at work carrying bricks on a building site. The 24-year-old lives in Shijiazhuang, North China's Hebei province. He lost his right arm in an accident 8 years ago. His recovery was long and painful, but pretty soon he became a worker on the building site, carrying bricks and plastering walls. Right from the start, Tao Jinjin didn't want to be pitied, but wanted to prove that he could still do things. By chance, a friend showed him an app which allowed him to upload videos of him at work. He quickly became a hit on the platform. Tao Jinjin's mother takes a video of the son, who says his strength is gained from the support he gets online. In return his example has inspired many others to work harder and try to change their own destiny. Tao Jinjin currently earns 100 yuan ($15) per day on the construction site, but thanks to his live streaming, his monthly income can reach up to 8,000 yuan. He says he's planning to one day get married and become a father. He wants to do everything he can to change his destiny, rather than stay as a builder. |
