This Yunnan girl who majored in hydropower engineering seems to have no electromechanical skills that she cannot repair. Whether it's broken, rusted, or missing parts, the machine can move when she fiddles with it.
In 2021, she began to help villagers repair electrical machinery, and uploaded the repair process to the watermelon video. In the past six months, she has gained 1.34 million fans. Lin Guoer, who is thin and 1.5 meters tall, has impressed many people with her professional skills, and has also broken many people's understanding of women.
Lin Guoer's self-introduction on the watermelon video is "Life must be full of hope". By making videos, she has indeed achieved her pursuit of life. She returned to her hometown of Shaotong, Yunnan, where there were mountains and waters, things she wanted to repair, and a grandfather she wanted to accompany.
The younger brother works for her to study
In the video, Lin Guoer always wears a neat blue denim with a ponytail. Rusty, broken old electrical machines are given a new look.
Diesel engine before and after repair
Faced with a broken old diesel engine, she first studied what went wrong, and then patiently disassembled the machine into parts, polished and repaired , cleaned, painted, soldered, and finally reassembled. She stood in front of the camera and showed everyone the repaired machine. With the rumbling sound of the diesel engine, she showed a sweet smile.
For ordinary people, repairing things is too complicated and time-consuming. But for Linguoer, it was full of fun. She has liked to study something since she was a child. When she was a child, she was curious about what was inside the plugboard, so she poked it with an iron, but she couldn't get rid of it when she was electrocuted; she also took apart the TV, remote control, and audio player at home,As a result, he couldn't go back and was beaten and scolded.
Lin Guoer was born into an unhappy family in Yanjin Township, Zhaotong, Yunnan. Her parents got married because of the matchmaker's words, and gave birth to her and her younger brother, who was one year younger. My father doesn't like my mother, and I have been away from home for many years. Usually, my mother is the only one with my sister and brother.
When Lin Guoer was 6 years old, his parents decided to divorce. The siblings were sentenced to their father, but the father remarried and the mother remarried, and they were taken care of by their grandparents. At that time, there were very few divorced families around, and the divorce of parents brought childhood shadows to Lin Guoer. When she was a child, relatives took her to play, and when people asked who this was, the relatives said that this was an orphan. When she heard the word "orphan", she was very sad.
I live with the elderly and wear clothes that are given by others. The main income of grandparents comes from raising pigs, sheep and cattle, and their income is meager. But they insisted on providing Ling Guoer to study. Many locals think that girls reading is useless. Many girls go out to work after graduating from junior high school and get married within a few years. A girl of the same age as Lin Guoer has given birth to three children, the eldest is 6 years old this year.
After graduating from middle school in 2009, at the age of 15, she went to work as a nanny in the county town. "My grandparents can't afford it." A month later, Grandpa came forward and asked Lin Guoer's father to pay for her to study. The old man never finished elementary school, so he always said to her, "Get a diploma and find a good job, don't work as hard as him." So, Lin Guoer went back to school and went back to the third year of junior high. A high school that can exempt her from tuition.
Dad didn't want to support her for two years. My younger brother doesn't like to study, so he dropped out of school to work in a farmhouse in the town. "He said my dad couldn't provide me any more, so he asked me directly if he wanted money." Lin Guoer relied on his brother's support to study until he graduated from college. In the beginning, my younger brother worked as a cook, earning three or four hundred yuan a month, all of which was given to Lin Guoer. When she was in college, her younger brother went to work in a tofu factory in Zhejiang and paid her 4,000 to 5,000 yuan per semester.
Give up the big city and go home to accompany grandpa
When she graduated from high school, the head teacher suggested that she go to targeted admissions to study at the university in Zhaotong, without paying tuition, she was assigned a job after graduation. She was reluctant, "I'm going to a big city." She felt that she could make money in a big city, and if she had money, her family could live a good life.
She was admitted to Kunming College majoring in water conservancy and hydropower engineering, and realized her dream of going to a big city. Lin Guoer chose this major because she heard from an aunt that doing construction work is a great way to make money. "Going to the construction site, making materials, and often socializing, this is the life of a strong woman." She yearns for this kind of life.
However, on the eve of graduating from college, my grandmother was seriously ill. She took her to a hospital near the company for an examination. The result was kidney failure. The doctor said to do hemodialysis , but after a few days, the person was not well, and my grandmother soon passed away in the hospital. It was June 13, 2017. She felt a bolt from the blue, her head was blank, she had no strength, and squatted on the ground. "My dad called me and said he would settle the account with me because I passed away my grandmother."
The death of her grandmother made Lin Guoer realize the importance of being with her family. She decided to give up developing in a big city and go home to accompany her grandfather while preparing for the local civil service exam. During this period, she came into contact with video platforms and felt that she could make money by shooting videos. She started posting videos, sharing village life. At that time, she could only shoot, but did not know how to realize it. Buying filming equipment drained her funds.
As a result, she was not admitted to the civil service. People around her watched her filming videos, and they all said that she was not doing her right job and that she was reading in vain. After all, her college classmates are all civil servants after graduation,Or go to work at a hydropower station. Grandpa thinks that she doesn't do serious business and doesn't find a serious job. The younger brother also felt that it was difficult for his sister to finish college, but her sister did things that she could do without going to college. Relatives asked her brother to do ideological work for her, and she replied "don't worry about it", she firmly believed that this could make money. That year, the relationship between the two was particularly tense, and they did not speak when they met.
Under various pressures such as economic, social vision, family denial, and guilt for her grandmother's death, Lin Guoer became depressed. In December 2018, she interrupted her filming career and decided to continue taking the public exam. Still didn't pass the second year. In July 2019, she made up her mind to do what she wanted to do, "shooting videos." For her, making videos would allow her to study things with peace of mind, and earn money to better accompany her family.
Build her own paradise
Since her father didn't let her take pictures at home, she rented two acres of open space in the mountains, with mountains on both sides, river in the middle, and waterfalls nearby. She wanted to build her own "Xanadu" since she was a child.
She builds pavilions, houses, bridges, digs fish ponds, builds pigsties, ... from design to construction, chopping bamboo , planing wood, to dozen The foundation, erecting pillars, making doors and windows, etc., she did it all by herself, now learning and doing it now. If there is something she doesn't understand, she will ask her grandfather who was a carpenter to guide her. In the end, she built a villa for herself there.
She posted these videos online and many people liked them. After the villa was built, she began to repair equipment. At first, the repairs were all low-power ones. Later, she wanted to study some really practical ones that could move after repairing.
She started helping villagers and fans repair electrical appliances. For example, the diesel engine for sweet potato flour, the thresher for threshing grain, and the stirring motor. "Only for materials, maintenance is free." Last year, she heard that Xigua Video released the "China Video Partner Program",As long as you send videos, you can make money, and you can send content synchronously.
On July 6, 2021, the first video she synced became popular, with 1.64 million views. In the video, she repaired a 20-year-old generator and carried it to the waterfall near her home to test the machine. This became a turning point in her life, and her account quickly surpassed one million followers. Relying on the traffic share of the watermelon video, she now earns about 30,000 yuan a month.
Grandpa believes she can make money, neighbors and friends often show her videos to Grandpa. Now, every one or two days, my grandfather called her to go back for dinner. She used the money she earned to buy prawns and hairy belly for her grandfather. "Before my family was reluctant to buy them." Put money into grandpa's hand during the festival, "Sometimes 200, sometimes 500."
She repaired the relationship with her brother. Half a month ago, Lin Guoer signed up her brother for a driving school. Last year, the corner of the house collapsed, and my brother did it by himself. He was injured, so Lin Guoer paid someone to do it. Now her younger brother will help her make videos and even appear on camera.
After the divorce of his parents, his younger brother is Lin Guoer's closest family member and they care about each other. When her father beat and scolded her, her younger brother stood by her side; on Lin Guoer's birthday, her younger brother always stepped on the dot to wish her a happy birthday. She still has the white 2G mobile phone that her brother bought her in 2014, and the phone card she used in college is still inside. It was bought for her by her younger brother when she was working in Zhejiang in her second year of high school and sent to school. She was very happy when she received the mobile phone.
Shooting videos has also made her more and more confident. Now she walks outside, and fans often take pictures behind her. Sometimes fans in town come to see her.
The yearning for a big city is gone. She used to be very young and wanted to make a breakthrough in the outside world, but she regretted not realizing it . But now she knows that she has broken out of her own world when it comes to making videos.The filming of the video has also realized her long-standing dream of paradise.
