In the past ten years, Daifa has not only felt the convenience brought about by the rapid development of China's Internet industry, but also contributed to the development of cross-border e-commerce as an e-commerce anchor.

The vast territory, rapidly developing economy and modern living environment have impressed Daifa when she first arrived in China, and she often remembers the days when she traveled in China after returning to Ecuador.

In order to better develop in China, Dai Fa has been studying Chinese at Shenyang Normal University since 2015.
In addition to studying, Daifa often buys goods through e-commerce platforms and dresses up his warm little home. Rice cookers, coffee machines, vacuum cleaners... After counting carefully, it was found that almost all the smart appliances in the home were "made in China". Whenever Daifa introduces the "good things" in the house to her friends in Ecuador, the friends will ask her to help buy them.
What Daifa didn't expect was that she turned her interest into a career. The year of graduation coincided with the rapid development of live e-commerce in China. Outgoing and willing to share, Daifa became a "foreign anchor" on a multilingual live streaming platform for the world.
Before the live broadcast, Dai Fa will spend several hours sorting out the details of the products on the shelves and his own feelings about the products. As soon as the live broadcast time came, the exquisite makeup of The Wearing Law appeared in front of netizens on time, recommending to them in Spanish chinese-made clothing, children's toys, and digital products such as mobile phones. The consumers who buy these goods are mainly young people in Spain and Latin America.
"I feel blessed to live in times like this." Daifa said that the development of cross-border e-commerce has improved the quality of life for her and her family, and she is very happy to use her language advantage to promote Chinese products to more Spanish-speaking people, so that they can enjoy good service and high-quality and inexpensive goods.
There are always many netizens interacting with Daifa during the live broadcast, and when he sees that he can help others, Daifa feels that it is the "most fulfilling moment".
Dai Fa often lamented that China's scientific and technological progress has allowed ordinary people to enjoy more and more convenience. "During college, I went to Tieling every weekend to visit my in-laws, which used to be more than an hour away, and after the high-speed rail was opened, it only took less than 20 minutes."
Cashless payments, the sharing economy and highly convenient logistics all impressed Daifa. She said she was used to convenient mobile phone payments and often made jokes when she returned to Ecuador to visit her family because she forgot to bring cash when she went out.
When he first came to China, Due to the high cost and slow speed of the transnational network, Daifa could not talk to his family in Ecuador very often. "As the technology evolved, they downloaded Chinese applications, which were quite fast and the video was clear." "We were on video every day, and my sister reported to me like a news story about what was happening at home," Daifa said. ”
In the year of his establishment, Dai Fa is still fighting for the cause he loves. The two lovely daughters have been able to switch between Chinese and Spanish, and the in-laws treat Daifa as if they were their own daughters. "I can now say that I made the best decision and I am happy. In the future, my husband and I will continue to stay in China to develop, and there are many opportunities here to play to my strengths.
