【Prologue】
Mr. Lu Xun once said: "May the young people of China get rid of the cold air, just go upwards, and do not have to listen to the words of the self-destructive and self-abandoning people." Do things that can be done, make a sound that can be heard. There is a heat, a light, like a firework, you can also emit a little light in the dark, do not have to wait for the torch. ”
What does China's new youth look like?
Have you thought about this?
Young people in the new era should stay away from "lying flat"
Let's take a look
A high-spirited "growth-oriented new youth"
In a video taken by Lu Xianren, in one episode he went to the Psychic Grand Canyon in Baise City, Guangxi Province, where the height difference of the waterfall was 188 meters. He said in the copy: "The valley waterfall is choppy, maybe life is like a waterfall thrilling moment, this is the soul is bound by the noisy city for too long, the soul that does not accept defeat is always restless and young, and will never settle for the status quo." ”
In 2020, his signature on social platforms was "A Wild... Wild means unrestricted, as if life should have countless possibilities.
This is a young man in the ordinary world who is not willing to be ordinary
It is also a typical contemporary "hit worker"
He deserves fire and attention
And those "others" who are also struggling, also deserve attention
Even if the view of Lu Xianren on the Internet is controversial
But this man is trying to make the dream shine
It is said that young people do not listen to Li Zongsheng, and it is not confusing to understand.
Remember your dreams as a teenager?
Like a flower that never withers
Accompany me through the wind and rain
Look at the vicissitudes of the world
Watch the storm change
Li Zongsheng - "The Price of Love"
Now, a song called "The Price of Love" seems to have become the "exclusive" BGM of "Lu Xianren".
Li Zongsheng's lyrics and composition of this "The Price of Love", coupled with the singing of Liang Yongqi's deep voice, make all those who have heard this song unforgettable.
But Li Zongsheng certainly could not have imagined that a song he composed 17 years ago turned out to be an "exclusive" BGM for a young man who fought back from a "country wild model" to an "international supermodel".
But whenever he clicks on a video of Lu Xianren at random, netizens give him this song, and the short video soundtrack of "Lu Xianren" himself is also used.
The opening sentence: Remember your dreams when you were young? Like a flower that never fades.
It is just a simple and simple language, but it has exhausted childhood and dreams.
Deeply into the experience of this young man, I can't help but sigh that this BGM is indeed very compatible with him.
Also paired with a song from Fan Weiqi's "Original Dream"

On May 20, 2019, a video of a "rural wild model" exploded.
In the video, a big boy, wearing a black brimmed hat, with a mouth painted with palace red, wearing red women's clothes, pedaling high heels, taking the cat step of "six relatives do not recognize", that temperament is absolutely second to kill the international supermodel.
This boy is a short video platform blogger "Lu Xianren".
Dreams of youth
Like a flower that never withers
Accompany him through the wind and rain
"Lu Xianren" is not his real name, the boy was originally named Lu Kaigang, born in 1999 in a small mountain village in Heng County, Nanning, Guangxi, when he was very young, his parents went out to work, he followed his grandparents in the countryside, and served as a left-behind child for many years.
Although it cannot be said that the childhood of left-behind children is unfortunate, I believe that they are certainly helpless and sad. Sure enough, this childhood experience greatly affected Lu Xianren's personality, he became inferior and sensitive, and his personality became more and more eccentric.
When I was in the fifth or sixth grade of elementary school, one day Lu Xianren accidentally saw a catwalk program on TV, and the models were walking on the stage. They walked with the wind, their heads held high, and the confident look on their faces suddenly hit his heart, and Lu Xianren felt that he had come back to life in an instant, and his body and mind were greatly happy!
Lu Xianren's home was at the top of the mountain, far from the school, it took more than forty minutes to walk, and it took nearly an hour and a half to come and go. In the days that followed, going to and from school every day, the road from school to home, became the catwalk for him.
It was also at that time that he had the idea of becoming a model, perhaps to go to heaven to enjoy a meal, and he followed the models on TV to imitate their walking posture.
However, Lu Xianren dropped out of school at the age of 16, and like traditional parents, his grandmother hoped that he could have a skill.
So, according to the wishes of the elders, he went out to work. During this period, Lu Xianren, who had no strength, went to Foshan to learn auto repair, went to the factory as an assembly line worker, and also worked as an apprentice in a hairdresser.
Next, the story is logical, it should be a family, marry a wife and have children.
However, Lu Xianren still remembered the "dream" of his youth---- to be a model.
【2】
Who hasn't had a dream?
But some people's childhood dreams will eventually become blurred and vicissitudes as the world changes.
Perhaps pride was coldly photographed by the sea of reality, after experiencing three different job experiences, Lu Xianren seemed to recognize his heart, and more awakened and strengthened his childhood "original dream".
Have you heard of Fan Weiqi's "original dream"?
The lyrics begin with |
The original dream was clenched in the hand
Most wanted place to go
How can you return halfway
The song "The First Dream" describes that when people encounter difficulties and setbacks, as long as they stick to their "original dreams" and think back to the efforts they made to achieve their dreams, they will never give up.
The song expresses "warmth" and a "upward force".
In addition to part-time work, Lu Kaigang learned model steps from the video, imitated and recorded them over and over again, and found the gap and practiced again. In the early days, it was not a professional shooting method, and it often took most of the day to record a satisfactory video.
Subsequently, such a high-cost and unrequited investment made the workers in Lukai Port give up helping to shoot. Helplessly, Lu Kaigang began to learn to shoot, switch shots, and edit post-production.

Is it so easy to become famous?
For half a year, life in Lukai Port was only to shoot videos and work night shifts. The vast factory was empty, the night with no end in sight, and the creaking of the machines had once frightened Lu Kaigang.
If the dream had not fallen off a cliff
How can you know the one who is persistent?
Has invisible wings
But, fortunately, this is a good era, the Internet has given ordinary people the opportunity to change their destiny, and such opportunities have also been firmly seized by Lu Xianren.
After returning to his hometown, Lu Kaigang transformed into "Lu Xianren" and began full-time short video creation. Strictly speaking, the first video of Lukaigang was June 20, 2018, which was only 9 seconds, and the effect was not good. It is said that even now that Lu Xianren has become famous, the video still has less than 150 likes, and Lu Kaigang once laughed at himself: I don't have as many fans as my works.
In the video before he became famous, he was no different from thousands of young people who wanted to become famous overnight, learning makeup with Internet celebrities, and the lipstick with a glamorous color made his lips look like he had been poisoned; he couldn't buy the right size of high heels, and walked barefoot on the factory open space and country road.
At that time, he was often stoned to his feet; there was no gorgeous clothing, he used colorful woven bags to make long skirts, purple flower blankets for autumn and winter couture, and even used branches to insert Victoria's Secret wings to pay tribute to supermodel KK.
In that relatively backward small mountain village, there is no set, no lighting, mountain fields, abandoned factories, village road, is his catwalk, no professional shooting team, he called his cousin, sister to help shoot; do not understand the short video operation, he began to study the platform law.
Finally, on May 20, 2019, with the video of the catwalk wearing a red blanket, it became popular in one fell swoop.
Some netizens commented: "He belongs to the person who can't forget at a glance, his success is not accidental, looks, figure, temperament, innate sensitivity and talent for color and design, of course, these are not enough, persistence, fearlessness, continuous learning, trying, perseverance." His success cannot be replicated. ”
What Lu Xianren got was definitely not a counterattack on Shuangwen's life script, in fact, he had endured a lot of gossip along the way.
When he first started shooting videos, he was still working in a factory in Guangdong. The workers saw him making a skirt out of the waste he picked up casually every day and filming videos over and over again, picking up the rags every day, wearing strange clothes, twisting his crotch, moving in a rageous manner, and the workers in the factory looked at him, like a neurosis, and scolded him behind his back for being "neither male nor female.".
When he resigned and returned to his hometown, wearing a fancy skirt and walking the catwalk, the village's uncle and aunt laughed at him for being "not inferior", and the villagers also commented on him, thinking that a boy painted charming makeup every day and twisted around in the village, which was simply not like it!
The family also did not understand, and felt that there was no way out for Lu Kaigang's hobbies.
Putting tears on your heart will blossom into a brave flower
Can be in a tired time
Close your eyes and smell a fragrance
It was like sleeping all night until dawn
I can walk and hum songs as I go
With a brisk pace
【4】
The original dream
Will definitely arrive
Fulfilled a real desire
Only then have they been able to go to heaven
In this way, as he walked, he shared the stage with his eldest cousin Liu Wen, and was praised by Li Shi for being cool.
In 2020, Lu Xianren appeared on the Zhejiang Satellite TV variety show, and during the China International Fashion Week in the spring and summer of 2021, the China Women's Fashion Show catwalk, as the only male model, walked several release shows.
In fact, from the Guangxi field to the fashion week catwalk, Lu Xianren spent three years.
Nowadays, fashion is Lu Xianren's main field of involvement, but not all of it, and his videos include travel and reading books in addition to fashion-related catwalks.
From walking on the catwalk with the wings of a "Victoria's Secret Angel" to reading a book in the sunset or by the sea, and returning to his hometown to cultivate weeds, most of his videos convey a love of life, as he wrote in one of the video copywriters: "I record frequently, because life is worth recording." ”
Follow the direction of the light, but, the night will come
I was lost in the dark
I came here from the Dark Forest
See everything in the world
Academic Society Fashion
You can look back, but don't go back
This is a set of video copywriting released by Lu Xianren.
Whether it is taken out alone or combined together, it is like poetry, and it is full of literary atmosphere, attracting everyone who watches to explore the story behind him.
