According to the Beijing News, Ah Xiang' real name is Zhang Guodan, a post-90s, born in Zhongluo Village, Sanlong Dongzhai, Liping County, Qiandongnan, Guizhou, and after graduating from Hunan Business School (now Hunan Technology and Business University), he did foreign trade business in Guangzhou.
In the winter of 2015, when her father had an accident, Ah Xiang returned to the Dong village where she was born, opened her father's computer folder, and found that her father had left a large number of precious Dong song images.
She decided to stay in the countryside and inherit her father's legacy. Her mother had wondered why she had to give up her good job in the big city, quarreled with her, threw her things outside the house, and threatened her to return to the city by severing the mother-daughter relationship.
Since November 2018, Ah Xiang has made a short video of her rural life and Dong culture, which was posted on the "Village Girl Ah Xiang" Douyin. So far, she has gained 1.13 million followers and 8.58 million likes.
"Zhang Xuecheng" is Ah Xiang's father, a barefoot doctor who loves Dong music.
After returning to his hometown, Ah Xiang found through the collation of his father's relics that his father had deep feelings for Dong Ge. His mutilated notebook read, "I have photographed a lot of Dong songs, and there are many that I have not photographed, and I am afraid that my generation ... It's lost." His computer password is also the melody of Dong songs, which leaves a large number of precious Images of Dong songs that he has recorded for more than ten years.
Ah Xiang decided to give up guangzhou's annual surplus of more than 200,000 yuan to stay in his hometown and inherit his father's legacy. When she first made this decision, her mother did not understand, thinking that she was "messing around", and tried to persuade her to return to Guangzhou to make money in three days. In the fiercest quarrel, the mother threw Ah Xiang's things into the courtyard outside the house, saying that she would break off the mother-daughter relationship. Villagers also thought she was "crazy and stupid".
Becoming popular solves Ah Xiang's income problem. Since returning to her hometown in 2015, she has purchased shooting equipment, visited villages to shoot Videos of Dong Ge, and taken care of her family. Through Douyin e-commerce, she not only regained a stable income, but also led her family and even the surrounding clans to get rich together.
In December 2021, Ah Xiang was certified as a non-hereditary heir of the Dong Great Song. So far, she and her father have recorded more than 2800 Dong songs. My father's last wish finally became a reality.
