People have very different reasons for why they become Internet celebrities, but in the end it is for money.
In fact, the same is true for Mai Xiaodeng, but she is more for her father.
She grew up under the care of her father. When Mai Xiaodeng grew up, her father also fell ill. In order to make money for his father's medical treatment, Mai Xiaodeng learned to shoot and edit.
Because of the simplest feelings and the beautiful countryside, Mai Xiaodeng stands out among Internet celebrities.
Of course, she also received a lot of criticism. But she came over one by one.
Now, she has met her love and wants to start her own small family. But looking at her lonely father, she decided to marry him off.
And her story is far more than that.
In 1994, Mai Xiaodeng was born in Anyang City, Henan Province. His real name is Wang Xiaonan.
At first, there were parents at home, but a few months later, Mai Xiaoden's mother left, leaving only his father to take care of the children.
As Mai Xiaodeng grew up, she knew the fact that her mother would not come back. She could only comfort herself that her mother had gone to find happiness.
Without her mother by her side, people in the village felt very sorry for her, and her aunt treated her well and regarded her as her own daughter.
Because of her aunt, she also met a chubby boy named Shihao.
The two families became close, and Mai Xiaoden also became good friends with Shihao, who was one of the few playmates she had when she was a child.
It’s a pity that we lost contact later.
In short, Mai Xiaodeng grew up in the care of his father and the food of his neighbors.
Mai Xiaodeng also accepted his fate in the unchanging days. However, misfortune struck.
When she was eight years old, her father was diagnosed with kidney disease and underwent surgery, resulting in a nephrectomy as a last resort. I can only rely on medicine to survive, and I can't do heavy physical work.
A simple operation brought a family one step closer to the abyss.
But Mai Xiaodeng is not content with this. She wants to make money, treat her father's illness, and change the current financial situation of her family.
She was admitted to university through her own efforts, but tuition became a problem.
In 2013, her family was identified as a poor household, and she could not afford college tuition.
Everyone in the village knew what happened to Mai Xiaodeng and felt very distressed. Relatives saw it and each family put together a little money to collect 2,000 yuan.
This allowed Mai Xiaodeng to go to college.
College was her beginning, and at the same time, it was also the most disappointing few years for her.
The university is in the city, while Mai Xiaoden lives in the countryside. Because his family is not rich, there is always a big gap between him and his classmates.
She saw that her classmates were eating well, dressing well, and using things well, and she felt a big gap in her heart. But there is nothing that can be done.
Seeing Mai Xiaodeng’s appearance, her roommate found some clothes and planned to give them to her.
Just because Mai Xiaodeng is poor, it doesn’t mean he has no self-esteem.
Looking at the clothes given by her roommate, she suddenly felt guilty and inferior.
She accepted the kindness of her roommate, but she did not accept the clothes. After that, Mai Xiaodeng found part-time jobs in his spare time, tutoring others, or setting up a stall.
It was just that she was too lonely, so she got another puppy.
So, one person, one person and one dog became frequent visitors on the roadside.
Mai Xiaodeng couldn't let go at first, but seeing sporadic money coming into her account, she could only force herself to gradually let go.
So, with her extraordinary part-time job and running a stall, Mai Xiaodeng had a little money every month. She kept some for herself and gave the rest to her old father at home.
Four years passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time to graduate from college.
Big cities have good development prospects. Mai Xiaodeng did not hesitate and now works hard in big cities.
She went to an advertising company. Although she didn't have a lot of money, she was able to support herself and had a stable job. She was happy. Her father, who was far away in her hometown, knew about it and felt very comforted.
After working in an advertising company for a while, Mai Xiaodeng discovered a new business opportunity, which was takeout. Although it was tiring, it made a lot of money.
After determining the goal, Mai Xiaodeng just went ahead and joined the takeaway army.
In the food delivery industry, she was doing very well. Suddenly she thought that she studied journalism in college, so why not take some videos for herself?
Mai Xiaodeng always moves quickly. She bought a camera to record her food delivery life. Also posted the video online.
Soon, Mai Xiaodeng gained some popularity and gained some fans, but the same amount of people also raised doubts and disdain.
"You have to put on makeup to deliver food, just for show!"
"You are so white, you don't look like you are delivering food!"
"You are just hyping up."
Seeing the unreasonable abuse from netizens, Mai Xiaodeng felt very aggrieved, but she was not good at explaining, so she could only digest these bad emotions alone.
In his days in the big city, Mai Xiaodeng's life was gradually getting back on track. But at this moment, something happened in his hometown.
My father's illness worsened suddenly.
She didn't think much, put down the work at hand, and hurried back to her hometown.
After returning home, Mai Xiaoden took his father for a check-up, but the check-up could not proceed to the next step.
Mai Xiaodeng’s father only has one kidney and cannot rush for examination, which makes the doctor very embarrassed.
can only maintain it with medicine first.
And the medicine is not ordinary medicine yet, it needs to be replaced with imported medicine.
In response to the doctor's words, Mai Xiaoden nodded and answered, but there was a layer of fog in his heart, as if he could shed tears when the wind blows.
In order to prevent her father's illness from being delayed, she thought about returning to work in a big city, but in that case, she would not be able to take care of her father every day.
What should I do if my father feels uncomfortable but doesn’t say anything?
After much deliberation, Mai Xiaodeng decided to return to his hometown to develop.
However, even after returning to his hometown, Mai Xiaodeng did not give up short videos.
At that time, short video content was very popular, and Mai Xiaoden also wanted to give it a try. Others had a team, but she did not. Mai Xiaoden was responsible for plot conception, shooting, and post-editing all by himself.
It is normal to shoot one shot four or five times, and it is even more normal to go to bed early at night.
The name Mai Xiaodeng was what she thought of for herself at this time. Mai is wheat , and Deng means a good harvest. Although her family grows watermelons, she also hopes to have a harvest every year.
Therefore, Mai Xiaodeng’s shots showed her life in the countryside, with beautiful scenery and hard work.
There is a sweet big watermelon, and there is also the family relationship between Mai Xiaoden and his father.
It is this natural family affection and field work that makes Mai Xiaoden attract many fans. It even attracted the attention of the TV station. His father was very happy to see Mai Xiaodeng achieve such results.
Every time Mai Xiaodeng went away, his father would give him instructions again and again.
On one occasion, Mai Xiaoden had no problems outside, but his father's health did.
Before the show started, she received a phone call. Her father had a stomachache and the pain was unbearable. However, she had no way to fly to her father's side immediately.
Therefore, during the show, Mai Xiaodeng was always feeling uneasy, but she did not dare to let others discover it.
She didn’t rush home until the show ended. On the way, she kept praying that nothing would happen.
Later, Mai Xiaoden found time to accompany his father to the hospital, planning to do another check-up to see what was going on.
Only this time, the doctor could not detect it either, and the reason was because my father did not take medicine very much.
His father did not take the medicine on time, and the effects of the medicine were not reflected on his body. When Mai Xiaoden found out, he felt very uncomfortable. She could guess why her father did this, because the medicine was too expensive.
If you take less medicine, you will be able to delay buying medicines, and you will have more money at home.
Mai Xiaodeng wanted to say something, but he still kept his mouth shut and helped his father go home. However, since then, Mai Xiaoden has one more thing to do, and that is to supervise his father's medication.
After some examination, the father knew more or less what the doctor said. He looked at his daughter's distressed eyes and promised to take the medicine on time and in the right amount.
After that, my father’s illness gradually stabilized and his stomach no longer felt uncomfortable.
Mai Xiaodeng felt relieved.
Seeing her father getting better, Mai Xiaodeng became more motivated to make videos. In addition, she appeared on the show and became more and more famous.
As his fame grew, many villagers approached Mai Xiaodeng. One of them was a garlic dealer. The garlic grew well, but unfortunately they couldn't sell it. If
cannot be sold, these things will be lost in your hands and you will not make much money. When Mai Xiaodeng found out, he did not shirk and gave the villagers ideas.
She originally wanted to make a video, but she was afraid that the video would not be that efficient. After much deliberation, she decided to live broadcast to bring goods to the villagers.
With the help of Mai Xiaodeng’s fan base, the live broadcast ended and the garlic was sold out.
The villagers thanked her endlessly, but Mai Xiaodeng didn't think anything of these things. When she was a child, she grew up eating Baijia rice. When she grew up, she tried her best to help others, so the rice was not in vain. eat.
From 2019 to 2022, fans followed Mai Xiaodeng’s growth step by step, watching her have tens of millions of fans and a stable income.
Not only did her family conditions improve, her father no longer had to worry about paying for his medication, but he also became more confident.
However, fans never imagined that Mai Xiaodeng was getting married.
Speaking of Mai Xiaodeng’s marriage, it is also a fate.
The other party was Mai Xiaodeng’s childhood playmate, a little fat boy named Shihao. As they grew up, the two separated, and thought they would never see each other again until they went to college.
In college, basketball games are never uncommon. Mai Xiaoden also attended them, not to play basketball of course, but to take photos.
As a result, when they arrived at the basketball court, Mai Xiaodeng saw a familiar name, "Shi Hao". Then she went to see the people playing basketball. Although there had been great changes in the past few years, she could still see the shadow of "Shi Hao".
So, after a game, the two met again.
Although they haven’t seen each other for a long time, their childhood memories made the two of them quickly become familiar with each other.
After that, the two became fond of each other. Shihao knew about Mai Xiaodeng’s profession and suggested that she try self-media.
might be successful.
It was Shihao's words that gave Mai Xiaodeng great encouragement and allowed her to try making videos after graduation. Therefore, when Mai Xiaodeng was questioned at first, it was because of Shihao's words that she did not give up. Even when I returned to my hometown, I didn’t give up.
In fact, both of them are very busy after graduation. Shihao is a designer, while Mai Xiaodeng is busy shooting videos. The two can only take the time to contact each other, talk about recent events, and cheer each other up.
Mai Xiaodeng is always laughing and joking in front of the camera, but Shihao knows that laughing and joking is her armor. Underneath, she is also a sensitive person, and sometimes she will be sad.
As time went by, the relationship between the two became more and more stable. However, they were uncertain about the future, but they never mentioned marriage.
They want to ignore it and let their feelings develop freely, but if they don't express their love in words, it will show in their eyes.
Finally, Shihao decided to propose to Mai Xiaodeng.
On the day of the proposal, Shihao was waiting in the yard with flowers. Mai Xiaodeng was completely unaware and went straight back home with his shooting equipment.
As a result, he opened the door and saw Shihao and his father. The father held the veil and looked at his daughter. Mai Xiaodeng walked over and squatted down so that his father could put the veil on him.
Mai Xiaodeng looked at the ground with a very reluctant expression. She knew that if she got married, her father would be single.
Compared with his father's reluctance and Mai Xiaodeng's surprise, Shihao was obviously extremely nervous.
He prepared the letter, but when he read it he was so nervous and excited that he cried. He quickly wiped his tears. Seeing that the atmosphere was so intense, Mai Xiaodeng joked, "Shouldn't you give me the letter first?" Am I crying?”
However, Mai Xiaodeng's joke did not ease Shihao's nervousness. When he was wearing the ring, he almost put it on the wrong hand because of Mai Xiaodeng's left and right hands.
In short, the proposal was completed in a tense manner.
fans were surprised by the sudden proposal. In order to ease the fans' emotions, Shihao took up Mai Xiaodeng's account and posted a special video.
Starting from his birth, he told his story, his parents, and his career, so that fans could understand and give them an explanation.
fans had doubts at first, but after seeing such a candid video, they dispelled their doubts and congratulated the newlyweds.
Because we have known each other since childhood, my mother-in-law also knows what kind of temper and character Mai Xiaodeng is, and she also likes her very much.
also knows the relationship between Mai Xiaodeng and his father. So when Mai Xiaodeng said that he would take his father with him, his father-in-law and mother-in-law also agreed.
When Mai Xiaodeng and Shihao looked at their new house, they had to take their father into consideration. In order not to burden their father, they kept saying, "The house is very ordinary."
Now, Mai Xiaodeng also has his own family.
If we pushed forward a few years, we would never have imagined that she would have such a happy life, with a career, a lover, and relatives around her.
In fact, she was an ordinary person, but she seized the opportunity and impressed netizens with her passion and simple feelings.
In today's fast-paced life, there are many things in Mai Xiaoden that many people don't have, such as repayment, gratitude, strength, self-esteem, intelligence, and neatness... It is these qualities that make her go where she is. The other side of happiness.
