because of love

in 1991, hao a was born in nantou, taiwan, and later studied at chiayi university. “my major is actually furniture design. i can do simple designs, have a certain understanding of materials, and how to make furniture. but it’s different from carpentry masters. carpentry masters are just students. we only make small things in the furniture factory.” during his schooling in taiwan, he also won the title of “outstanding youth”.

in 2013, hao a went to france as an exchange student. at that time, he had no clear blueprint for the future. he just felt that "this is a rare life experience in a foreign country." i went to france for exchange with the attitude of experiencing life, but i got the most significant gain in life - i met my girlfriend from changde, hunan, who is also my current wife. the two met at a language school in france. after studying abroad, his girlfriend came to beijing to work. after finishing his studies in france, a returned to taiwan to complete his military service. in order to reunite with his girlfriend, he also decided to come to the mainland for development.

it has been almost ten years since i came to live in mainland china in april 2015. when he first came to mainland china, good a chose a furniture factory related to his profession, a taiwanese-owned enterprise in suzhou. but when the factory was to be moved to guangdong in 2017, good a resolutely chose to go north because of love.

part-time takeout

life in beijing was not as smooth as expected. after a period of job hunting with unsatisfactory results, hao a teamed up with his friends to open a small fruit-cutting takeaway shop in liangxiang university town, fangshan. but the subsequent covid-19 epidemic has made it increasingly difficult for fruit shops to do business, and the pressure on rent has also increased. good a began to realize, "if you can't make money starting a business, it's better to be more realistic and do something with a stable cash flow every day."

just came to beijing in july 2015

january 30, 2022, hao a still remembers this date. this is the first day he became a self-media blogger. three months later, on april 30, he closed the store and began working full-time on self-media. however, the trend of self-media entrepreneurship has long passed at this time, and the income of bloggers is not considerable. so, hao a thought of working as a food delivery rider in stages to supplement his family income. to this end, he specially studied the backends of several popular lifestyle retail service apps in mainland china. “i registered a lot, and finally found that meituan’s backend supports taiwan residents’ residence permit registration. i was very happy when the application was successful!” i originally bought it to give away fruits. electric vehicles also came in handy again, and the part-time delivery boy took to the road.

deliver food

good a made a video of his experiences recorded with a camera when delivering food, and he made hundreds of videos. on bilibili and douyin, his accounts each have tens of thousands of fans, and the views of a single video often exceed 10,000. in the video, he is the most authentic appearance of the delivery boy. follow his perspective to experience the spring, summer, autumn and winter in beijing, feel the anxiety of the delivery boy who may not be able to deliver on time, and understand the helplessness of the rider in adapting to the platform rules... good a and many riders also race against time, but there are still delays. after that, good a gradually realized that "people who do particularly well are masters of time planning." during the process of delivering food, good a also had a conversation with himself: "you have to fight against the obsession of 'greed' in your own heart. if you can't deliver this order, you absolutely can't grab it, otherwise it will affect other orders, and it will be in vain. "

good a feels that "you can't understand real life without experiencing it. only through in-depth experience can you have a say." when you have no experience, you will feel very strange. why are the orders that come in rarely come in and the price is relatively high, but no one takes them? once when he was idle and found an order that no one was grabbing, he made a decisive move. as a result, he went from an asphalt road to a cement road, and then the cement road turned into a dirt road. the further he walked, the more desolate and desolate he became. uneasy, until finally a bare construction site appeared in front of him. several construction workers wearing hard hats stood in front of the door, smoking and staring at him. only then did he realize that after working on it for a long time, the three words "project department" on the order were a copy of "journey to the west". whoever gets it will have to go through mountains and ridges, or go through hardships. hao a instantly remembered a lyric: ah, what a painful realization!

it’s material and life

at the regular press conference of the taiwan affairs office of the state council on march 13, 2024, a taiwanese media reporter asked that a recent online article titled "a taiwanese delivers takeaways in beijing" was widely forwarded, although there is no distinction between occupations. high or low, but tai qing went to "land" to start a business and unexpectedly became a food delivery rider. what is your comment on this? spokesperson chen binhua said, "there is no distinction between high and low occupations, and there should be no distinction between taiwanese youth and mainland youth. there are many young people in the mainland working as food delivery riders, why can't taiwan youth deliver food? of course, as far as i know, taiwan youth in the mainland being a food delivery rider is very rare, and the case you mentioned is probably very rare, but no matter what, as long as you work hard and are positive, you are worthy of respect."

this taiwanese guy is so good that he has become an internet celebrity, and his videos have attracted more and more attention. hao a signed up to participate in the first "beijing color taiwan" cross-strait youth short film collection competition and won the second prize. when giving his speech, he said: "actually, delivering food is just one of my jobs. it is a good way for me to have a deeper understanding of mainland society and integrate into local life. selling the hometown where my video was shot is also one of my jobs. ;i am also a self-media creator.”

although living in beijing is indeed stressful, his videos are full of positive energy, and he even has a sense of mission, “as a self-media creator, i hope to share the culture between the two sides of the taiwan strait through my own insignificant power. and life." he even bluntly said, "many taiwanese young people or their parents will feel that to work in the mainland, they must be tall and glamorous. if there are any setbacks, they may feel that the mainland is not good. but who said that taiwanese youth cannot deliver food. ?”

from the beginning, hao a was determined to make some life-oriented content, because he knew that only the closer to life can the more people be moved. "people asked me if you like the mainland? my answer is that i like to stay here. "i use this kind of normal life content to reflect the real and objective mainland, so that my compatriots on the island who have never been here feel that life in the mainland is not bad."

continuing the path of ancestors to find their roots

after the press conference became popular, hao a did not deliberately maintain his traffic popularity, but went back to taiwan. while completing the marriage formalities with his wife, hao a also did something special - searching for his roots. "our family is the ninth generation from fujian to taiwan. i heard that it is jinpu in zhangzhou, fujian. the elders came to the mainland earlier. i have looked for it, but have never found it. now i want to take over this matter." hao a's video also posted the story of his search for roots, "i am not just delivering food, but i also want to find the first generation of my family in mainland china. "in the video, hao a interviewed an elder named chen who was trying to come to the mainland to find his roots, and found that the legendary "jinpu" is the current zhangpu county. although there are several generations of people in the family tree, many of whom he has no impression of, and it is very difficult, but good a feels that this is a meaningful thing that must be done.

looking for roots

"in the culture of southern fujian, people attach great importance to their ancestors and family, so taiwanese people also want to do this, and many friends are looking for their roots. i think promoting this matter is very meaningful for the exchanges between the two sides of the taiwan strait. "hao a also said in the video that if he has the ability in the future, he would also be willing to use his self-media platform and experience of living in the mainland to help others find their roots in the mainland, "i don't know how many people have done this before. thing, but i knew it was something i really wanted to do.”

talking about the future, hao a said that he will continue to develop his own self-media account, and also wants to take courses in directing and photography, and make a documentary about the local people in mainland china, because this is also a part of the mainland that he likes. as he said in his acceptance speech, "i believe that as long as they work hard and rely on their own hands, every young person will realize the value of his life!"
