What have you been doing in the past ten years?
Ten years, it’s not long or short, but if you think about it carefully, life doesn’t last for several decades.
Actually, I am not a person who is particularly good at recalling because I have poor memory and are always used to selectively forgetting.
, especially those memories with a large time span, I really can't remember some of them very clearly.
is just that if I really want to look back, my past ten years have been fulfilling and exciting.

Ten years ago, I just graduated from college and was only 22 years old.
When I first entered society, I entered the TV station with a passion for news and media, and became a professional host.
is not only because of professional matching, but also because of what I have always wanted to do since I was a child.
When I was young, I liked to hold a microphone, tell stories to everyone or host some programs. At that time, I was thinking that if I grew up, I would be fine. After
and so on really "dreams come true", I realized more deeply how happy it is to stand in the spotlight with a microphone.
This may also be the joy brought by realizing my dream. Even now, I still remember some scenes during the hosting, but in fact I still miss that period.
However, the profession of hosting is not as relaxed as everyone thinks.
At that time, I should have been hosting, or on the way to hosting, and I still have endless manuscripts and endless programs every day.
Do you think this cycle of life is hard?
is quite hard, but it is fulfilling for me, and because I like it, I do it very vigorously.
I thought this kind of day would continue until I broadcast a piece of news.
Forgot which year it was. There was a resignation letter that was very popular at that time, and later I read it out in the news.
actually has only 10 short words, but many people have been affected by this. Coincidentally, I am one of them.
The letter said: "The world is so big, I want to go and see it."
Not long after, by coincidence, I saw a deeper article on the headlines about this letter.
had a great impact on me at that time, because life was just circulating and there was no room for progress.
After that, "Do you want to change your life" began to take root in my heart.
The idea pops up from time to time, causing ripples in my peaceful life.
About a year later, I chose to resign.
Leave the familiar environment and lovely position, and is ready to start a new life and see the outside world.

During the time when I just resigned, I was not very sure what I would do in the future. Should I continue to be the host in another place, or should I go out for a walk first.
Until I went to Beijing with my friends in 2018 and participated in an offline event of self-media as an audience.
I remember that day was already a little blurry, but I remember that the weather in Beijing was very cold that day, but the venue was warm and bright. I can't remember exactly what the people on the
platform are talking about, I just think they look shining on the stage.
However, after ending this journey, there seemed to be a voice in my heart telling me: Go and be a self-media person.
View the current environment, short videos seem to be part of life. As long as the audience wants to watch them, there will be creators.
Many people may have some "prejudice" towards the self-media industry at the beginning.
may think the threshold is low, or the money comes quickly? Actually, I also viewed it in the beginning.
But if you ask me this question now, I might say: It's not easy at all.
Many people will say: You are just looking for topics, writing a copywriting, and then typing a title.
Every link sounds simple, but when they are put together, they will be extremely cumbersome and complicated.
What's more, it's even more difficult if you want high-quality content.
Most of the creators, including myself, were in a relatively confused state in the early days.
, especially at that time, everyone had the same experience, and no one said they could point out a specific direction, because no one knew what future development would look like.
So what kind of content to do must go through a long period of precipitation.
I have been doing videos for about four years, and I haven’t had a smooth journey along the way. There have been several times when I almost wanted to give up.
When the mountains of setbacks and failures are pressing me out of breath, I often wonder whether it was correct to choose the self-media industry at that time?
But every time at this time, I will think of a sentence from Mr. Yang Jiang :
"Life is like passing through the level, and it is difficult to pass the level."
There is really nothing in this world that is easy, giving up is very simple, and the difficult thing is how you should persevere.
. During this period, Toutiao gave me great support, which can be regarded as witnessing my growth.
So now I am very grateful to myself at that time and chose to continue to persevere.

At this stage, I often ask myself, is this what you want to get out of your "comfort zone"?
Overall, I am very satisfied with myself, whether it is work or life.
can have time to "make up" books that have never been read because of laziness, and can also have time to get in touch with new things.
Just like some time ago, I really liked watching " Talk Show Conference ".
Unexpectedly, in this year's contestants' jokes, the discussion about short videos is quite high.
Actually, I am very happy to see this because it is a kind of progress for this industry, and more people are willing to pay attention or join.
Although this is a good trend, it also reminds me that to think more and improve myself more, I need to keep walking on the road.
Now as a sharer of cultural content, I hope that those positive people and experiences can bring some encouragement to everyone.
or you can also learn some solutions to problems from them.
Personally, how to spread culture in a more down-to-earth way is still a place where I need to continue to make progress.
In fact, after years of contact with culture, what I want to tell you the most is:
Culture is really magical, it sounds invisible and intangible, but there are its shadows everywhere in our lives, and they also influence us subtly.
So I hope that in the future life, I can bring better videos and share better content with Toutiao.
This is not only my job, but also something I love and persist in.
But I also hope that this love can support me to continue to move forward and to stay with everyone.
Occasionally think of the "job change" in 10 years, which is just a multiple-choice question in life.
also looks forward to your and my next decade and continue to be exciting.
