Plant lovers become "fruit hunters"
The "golden light fruit" in front of his eyes is covered with spikes, and his appearance looks like a meteor hammer, which has nothing to do with the word "delicious". But when Yang Xiaoyang stretched out his finger to touch tentatively, he found that the texture of this "meteor hammer" was surprisingly soft and smooth, and when he took a bite, the unique and rich taste filled the entire mouth, not only sweet and delicious, but also fruity, and could not be dispersed for a long time...
This is not a fictional scene in a novel or a film or television drama, but a personal experience shared by Yang Xiaoyang, a botanist from China, on the Baijia. It's hard to imagine that he can hook up with the word "hunter" because of his white appearance and thin appearance, but he is one of the most famous "fruit hunters" in China. Fruit hunters, as the name suggests, the target of the hunt is naturally fruit. It is conservatively estimated that the 32-year-old has eaten more than 700 kinds of fruits, taken hundreds of thousands of plant photos, and seen more than 30,000 kinds of plants, like a "fruit encyclopedia".
Yang Xiaoyang, who has loved plants since he was a child, was born with an unforgettable talent for various plants. During his studies in Singapore, many plants he had never seen before aroused his great interest in research. Witnessing the extinction of rare plants made him sad, but it also prompted him to give up his job as an engineer and devote himself to the cause of plant introduction and breeding.
It is such a botanist who is not from a science class, and by virtue of the strength of his hobby, he has become a Southeast Asian plant introduction and conservation expert hired by the South China Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and has also undertaken the important work of naming the Chinese names of Southeast Asian plants for the China Natural Herbarium.
From "Fruit Hunter" to Hundred Koppda
The original intention of wanting to do popular science was born from the time when Yang Xiaoyang witnessed the extinction of rare plants. However, his road to plant science popularization is not so smooth. He once shared his botanical knowledge and popular science content on many platforms with little success: everyone was almost completely unimpressed by this kind of niche popular science content.
A foreign biography brought by a friend, "Fruit Hunter", completely knocked on the door of his new thinking: if botany and public life are too far away, will the fruits that can be seen every day be the most interesting topic for everyone? Since then, Yang Xiaoyang has transformed into a fruit hunter and started his own content creation journey on Baidu Baijia.
Why did you choose Baidu Baijia as your primary content production platform? Yang Xiaoyang believes that as long as there is an Internet in a place, everyone has any questions, they must open the Baidu search box to find the answer, which has almost become a national habit. And what is completely different from many knowledge paid content platforms is that in addition to professional depth, the content on Baidu is also comprehensively free for the public, and anyone on Baidu can get the answer he wants. Therefore, Baidu, as an in-depth knowledge dissemination platform, has the exclusive advantage of transmitting knowledge to further places.
As Yang Xiaoyang said in the special program "Big Coffee Please Answer" of the Baijia number: "The real science has no boundaries, and the video we released on baidu Baijia is to hope to use a more vivid language to let more people understand the fruit and understand the fruit, because the most powerful language given by the fruit is happiness." Even a small child in a mountain village can see this and learn knowledge through Baidu. If my video can sow a fruity seed of happiness in everyone's heart, it will be very valuable. ”
In order to reach good content to users who really need it, Baidu has also combined the innate advantages of search to establish an exclusive content ecosystem. After the content of the Creators of Baijia is individually released, the system will automatically distribute it to multiple channels under Baidu. This kind of search, encyclopedia, information flow and other different systems to meet the different needs of users for content in different scenarios. For example, when you open Baidu Encyclopedia or Q&A and search for questions about fruits, it is very likely that you will see a small popular science video of fruit hunter Yang Xiaoyang.
The "fruits" of popular science have begun to appear Curiosity continues
Now, Yang Xiaoyang is always very pleased when he looks back at the videos he posted on Baijia: "What kind of fruit is this?", "How sweet is this fruit?" The active curiosity atmosphere in the video comment area is exactly what Yang Xiaoyang's ideal looks like, which is also his goal: "While scientific research, we must not forget science popularization." ”
Thankfully, he did. Today, under every video he posts on Baijia, it attracts a large number of plant lovers to visit and browse, they follow in the footsteps of Yang Xiaoyang, walking through the Amazon rainforest, Singapore's primeval forest, Sumatra's wilderness... In a wonderful video, through the fruits, witness the charm of the natural world.
While communicating with the roles of botanist and "fruit hunter", Yang Xiaoyang also used the advantages of Baidu to connect the purest love between man and nature with fruit, and passed on the charm of plants and fruits to countless people.
The road of science popularization belonging to "fruit hunter" Yang Xiaoyang has never ended, and his in-depth cultivation of Baidu's content ecology has constantly developed in the direction of updating tide and more universality. In the just-concluded "Curiosity Lab" special live broadcast activity, Yang Xiaoyang, in his exclusive "Curiosity Life Lab", with the rare fruits he collected from all over the world, shared the magical charm of fruits with countless people at the live broadcast site, and also buried the happiness seeds exclusive to fruits into everyone's heart.
Once, anyone of different geographical ages could "have a problem With Baidu", but now, Baidu has completely released the power of "curiosity", which has not only attracted countless high-quality content creators like "fruit hunter" Yang Xiaoyang, but also attracted the attention of countless ordinary people to seek knowledge. In the future, the road of "science popularization" that belongs to them will always emit the unique light of "curiosity".
