A truly brave person can still love life after realizing the essence of life.
What kind of life is considered to be down-to-earth?
This is the confusion of many young people working hard in big cities.
Living in a 5-square-meter rental house, eating fast food boxed lunches every meal, having a meager income without savings... Is this kind of life considered solid?
is probably for many people, this is at best just survival. But for Internet celebrity Zhu Qianpei , a life of "sweat and food" is very stable.
, a girl who is known as the "Hong Kong version of Laura", became an internet celebrity because netizens took a video of her carrying goods two years ago.
With the media exposure, more people have met this Hong Kong girl who makes a living by working as a porter, and even Alan Tam invited her to participate in the MV of her new song.

Some people questioned her, "why she needs to be a laborer even though she can rely on her face, is definitely a hype." But two years have passed, and Zhu Qianpei is still working as a porter.
She said this is her favorite job, and there are her own ideals in life.
Being down-to-earth is the lifestyle she wants most; being down-to-earth is also the charming temperament she shows.

for ten years
started working as a porter at the age of 19. Zhu Qianpei has been in this industry for more than 10 years.
Of course, it also has a toned figure and her inner happiness.

Zhu Qianpei has a huge contrast like the plot of a Hong Kong drama.
is like the host Ding Ding Zhang, who saw her for the first time in " Send 100 Girls Home" and said, "I always think she is a TVB actor, playing a porter, but she truly witnesses her moving things in the car."
This is indeed a very wonderful illusion. A petite girl, in the porter industry that is almost all male, has been working for 10 years, which is an unexpected thing in itself.
What's more, this job is her own choice and preference.
Zhu Qianpei is the eldest daughter of the family. She was educated by her father to be independent since she was a child.
When I was young, my father who was in business raised her as a boy, took her to the gym to exercise, and loved to take her to the container terminal to play.
"He taught me this is a 20-foot cabinet and that is a 24-foot cabinet. I watched these machines clamp the containers around and felt it was fun and I really wanted to know how to operate it."
life is like a drama, full of contradictory plots.
Zhu Qianpei's father's business failed, and her life as a white, rich and beautiful woman came to an abrupt end. He left Hong Kong with his family and traveled to Taiwan and Fujian to study and live. Until she was 17 years old, she began to make a living in Hong Kong alone.

Zhu Qianpei, who lives in her aunt's house, was invited to leave the house because her cousin was coming back to get married. That year, she was in the fifth grade of middle school.
When asked, "You have to live and support yourself when you are 17 years old. Many children of this age are still asking their parents for money to study", she was calm, but she said twice in a row, "(they are) happy children."
When she was wandering alone, she slept in the train carriage and was deceived by others for savings. When she was asked whether she wanted to support herself or not, her answer was "No need to be afraid, what's the use of being afraid?"
has worked as a clerk, security guard, and hotel front desk, but she can't stand the working environment where she speaks right and wrong and cannot get the real respect of others. In the end, she chose the logistics industry where men occupy an absolute majority and became a porter.
In her opinion, there is not so much right and wrong in this job. She has colleagues who can get along with each other and can run around with the delivery truck. She works like playing every day, and she is very happy.
More importantly, with her as outstanding work as men, she has won the true respect from others.
Zhu Qianpei never felt how hard and difficult his life was. Instead, he liked such a simple life to bring simple happiness.

questioned
because there are very few girls who work as porters, and her beautiful appearance makes her look particularly eye-catching and different.
As she became popular on the Internet, doubts such as "You can make a living by your face, but you are a porter" have always been accompanied by Zhu Qianpei.

Since becoming popular on the Internet because of videos and photos taken by netizens, doubts about whether she is hype has never stopped. Many people also believe that Zhu Qianpei, who has become an internet celebrity, will soon start to gain fame and fortune and "make quick money".
But she said, "Many people say that those who make quick money are wise people, but I think this is not the way for a long time. I still have a real feeling about my current work." After becoming popular, she was still engaged in a seemingly laborious job / Visual China
Even local media people in Hong Kong refused to believe Zhu Qianpei at the beginning.
When interviewing Zhu Qianpei on an entertainment program and called her "the most beautiful porter in Hong Kong", the host of "Women 40" Tian Ruini also believed that Zhu Qianpei was not a real porter.
was not until later, when she moved up and down with Zhu Qianpei, that she was convinced that she was moved to tears by Zhu Qianpei's innocence and tenacity during the interview. The host of
was impressed / "Women 40"
Tian Ruini posted a photo with Zhu Qianpei online and posted: There were previous reports that "moving goods roller" (Zhu Qianpei) was made into a goddess. At first, I was questioning and doubting the authenticity of the report.
But until today I met her, (I only realized) that she is indeed a goddess because she is so real and kind inside.

Even though Zhu Qianpei has become the darling of entertainment programs and businesses, she still has not given up on her job as a porter. Even for commercial activities, she is arranged in her spare time.
For her, she became an internet celebrity, but when she was delivering goods, she took photos with passers-by and praised her by strangers.
In January this year, Zhu Qianpei participated in a blind date program and successfully held hands with the male guest. The male guest promised to give her a safe environment.

But Zhu Qianpei said that she likes to carry, and will not give up this profession whether she is getting married or falling in love. "Grassroots life is my life, there are happiness and sadness, and there is more happiness, it makes me feel at ease."

Cat
Not long ago, Alan Tam came to find Zhu Qianpei to experience the loading and unloading work with her, and asked her to star in her new song "Mobile People" MV.
Alan Tam said that this song is very suitable to describe Zhu Qianpei, because she moves in different places every day, and is not afraid of the eyes of others, and enjoys her current work and lifestyle. She also described her as a "female hero" who has the courage to live her own life.

Zhu Qianpei, who is affectionately called "Zhu Haojie" by her boss and colleagues. Although she can carry 90 kilograms of goods, outside of work, she is no different from ordinary girls. She is also a delicate emotional person. She will be excited to see her idol and like a girl next door who loves to pet cats.
The restaurant that Zhu Qianpei often goes to, there are a few cats in the warehouse in the back alley. She often goes to feed them when she is free at work. She said these cats were her friends.
She called the cat's name and said that the black tiger-patterned cat was the most entangled with her. She said that they usually like to rub their heads with their heads. She said that every time she came to deliver goods, she would touch them and then continue to move the goods.

She also has times when she is afraid.When she was learning to cook, she stood in front of the stove and was busy. When she moved the goods, the strength of her muscles seemed to have disappeared. She was teased that King Kong Barbie suddenly became a spoiled "Hong Kong girl".
was asked if she would hold a doll or something at home like other girls. She laughed at herself when she was a child, but now she can hold an electric drill. While Zhu Qianpei's story is well-known, it has also been respected and appreciated by her idol Lin Zixiang , and specially invited her to shoot a promotional video for her concert. After filming the film
, she seized the opportunity to ask Lin Zixiang to sign and take a photo. She said she was "so nervous" when she had a close contact with her idol for the first time. The tomboy Zhu Qianpei transformed into a little fan in front of her idol.
Zhu Qianpei has been working hard to change her life, but it seems that she is also a little afraid of sudden changes.
When asked during the interview, "If everyone interviewed you one day, but your life is still like this, would you be disappointed?", she said calmly, "No, because that's how it is."
Accept your own life / "Send a Hundred Girls Home"
But in the camera, Zhu Qianpei, whose smile faded, fell into a long silence.
Maybe what she thought of was her wandering and helplessness since childhood, and her good friend passed away one after another last year. She said: "It used to be because of change, and then she became nothing, so a healthy, safe and normal life is what she wanted.
A stable life is her pursuit / "Send a Hundred Girls Home"
This woman who walks alone like a cat, full of strength but rich emotions, full of contradictions and self-sustaining, under her strong and happy appearance, actually still has the insecurity that neon lights cannot be illuminated.

Dream
can defeat inner uneasiness because of her efforts to talk less and do more, and the belief that she said "sweat and food are produced."
Zhu Qianpei lives in a small house less than 5 square meters diagonally opposite the funeral home. The cramped door of the room could not be fully opened. A cracked mirror in the wardrobe had tape on it, and a mini refrigerator in the corner had to move the debris away to open the door. These are all Zhu Qianpei's belongings.
's monthly salary is just enough to meet daily expenses and have no savings, but she has no choice to escape. She said that many people struggled even more than her situation, so she would not give up easily.
In Zhu Qianpei's room, there is a sign that says "Accept me as I am". Even if you can only accept reality, as long as you can be healthy every day, have a job, have food and clothing, and can work happily to make money, it is not a hard time in her opinion.
Faced with the difficulties of life, she chose to accept that I am me / "Send a Hundred Girls Home"
Even though she has become an internet celebrity and a star in the transportation industry, Zhu Qianpei said that she is not a star. The reason why she has been loved and respected by many customers is because they work harder than others, have a more serious attitude towards work, and are better exchanged for their attitude towards customers, rather than relying on the reputation of an internet celebrity.
is more at ease than making quick money by relying on fame.
Make quick money is not your choice
. When choosing to make a hard work or make a fortune by fame, Zhu Qianpei is still sticking to his creed of "sweating and food is spent." She also set her own simple and simple life goals:
work hard to make money and take the truck license exam, drive her own truck, have her own transportation team, and let others call her boss.
step by step, be down-to-earth and do your favorite job happily. This is also a more down-to-earth life state.
is as sang in the lyrics, " Happiness is, there are more than one way to be happy ". Choosing a life that makes you happy is as great as ordinary.
A truly brave person can still love life after realizing the essence of life.
Zhu Qianpei is such a brave person. Because of courage, he is down-to-earth.
