Recently, a blogger named "Working Boy Xiaozhang" became popular, and her video content can be said to be a nanny-level "into the social lecture hall".
From how to call a ride-hailing service, how to take the high-speed train, how to fly;
How to go to the hospital to see a doctor and register, how to apply for a bank card, and send a courier;
And then how to play mahjong, how to order at McDonald's Starbucks...
The seemingly simple and unnecessary content has gained the goodwill of a large number of netizens. Just look at the comment section and see that her videos have really helped a lot of people.
High school students who have never left the county, young people who have not learned from school and parents, and social terrorists who are afraid to turn to strangers.
They all reaped healing in Xiao Zhang's video.
Xiao Zhang's most popular video is the one that teaches people to take the high-speed train, and once sent her to the hot search.
She took her return to Nanjing from her hometown Lianyungang to work as an example, and walked down the whole process to talk about how to take the high-speed train.
Her videos are detailed in detail about how to enter the station, how to pick up tickets, how to queue for ticket check-in, how to find your seat...
It seems that people who are accustomed to riding high-speed trains have long been engraved in their minds, but for those who do not take high-speed trains in person, it is like an insurmountable mountain.
In order to shoot another "business seat experience" video, Xiao Zhang, who usually only sits in a second-class car, bought a business car with blood, and shook her head happily when she found that this carriage was the only one.
Digging sauce: Please hit "cute" on the public screen.
She even taught everyone a "quarrel" trick:
If an old man who wants to take advantage comes and wants to sit by the window (after all, there are many people who want to sit by the window and watch the view), then you can take out your ticket and point to the sign on the wall and say to him:
"You are by the aisle, it is clearly written on it."
Some friends who take the high-speed train for the first time are already frightened, and they may be even more panicked when they encounter such unreasonable people. It doesn't matter, Xiao Zhang has thought about it for everyone.
This nanny-level "how to take the high-speed rail", which is also Xiao Zhangfa's first video on Station B, has received more than 600,000 views and more than 40,000 likes.
At the beginning of the video, Xiao Zhang says: "Although it feels like no one will want to watch this, what if, what if someone needs it?" ”
But at this moment, all that floated through the barrage was: "Thank you Xiao Zhang!" I need it so much! ”
Many people in the comment area began to exchange their experience of riding the high-speed train, and there were many small tips that Xiao Zhang did not mention.
"Long-distance buying by the window, short-distance buying of the aisle"
"You can enter the station if you forget your ID card, and there is a window with a temporary ID card"
Others shared their experiences.
There were college students who went out in a small town, and they really experienced embarrassment at that time, not knowing where to insert the subway card, how to use the seat belt of the plane, and the inferiority complex caused by being born in a small place made her feel a deep sense of helplessness at that moment.
There are also people who take the high-speed train alone for the first time because of the death of a loved one at home.
At that time, I didn't know anything about the riding process, and there was no magnetic disk on the student card, so I couldn't get the ticket, and I was told by the staff to verify but I didn't know what verification was.
"A sense of powerlessness swept me in from all directions," she said. ”
Those young people in small towns who have never traveled far and migrant workers who have first ventured into the world need such simple and intuitive content to help them get rid of cramped when they take the first step into society.
It was after getting a lot of feedback on this video that Xiao Zhang continued to do this "how to" series.
For example, moving around the city may also require learning to hail a ride-hailing service.
First of all, you must determine your location on the software and find an iconic location for the master to find you (such as a bank, restaurant).
After choosing the destination, the software will push you various models of cars, how to choose?
Xiao Zhang's method is simple and crude: just choose the cheapest.
If you want to save money in urban life, you must also learn to take the subway, which is also the most popular topic in Xiaozhang's comment area.
Because compared to online car-hailing, taking the subway will be more complicated, and it will involve changing trains halfway, and if you are not careful, you will take a station or sit in the wrong direction.
In particular, the hometown of some friends does not have a subway, and it is easy to catch blind after arriving in a big city.
After learning various means of transportation, Xiao Zhang began to benefit everyone's entertainment life again.
For example, how to order food at a place like McDonald's and Starbucks? It may also bother many people.
Because she used to work at McDonald's, Xiao Zhang used her skillful skills to introduce the ordering process, and also shared a "poor ghost package" for only 13.9 - a staple drink can be easily dealt with for less than 14 yuan.
Xiao Zhang, who recorded this video, has become a celebrity in Nanjing, and was recognized by the McDonald's clerk, which made her embarrassed.
Order McDonald's and go for a Starbucks.
Before entering Starbucks, Xiao Zhang first guided everyone to do a psychological construction: although Starbucks is expensive, it is a beverage store, and there is no difference between what coco and a little ah, don't think how advanced it is.
Thorough and meticulous, Xiao Zhang thought about all the possible situations, just afraid that everyone would be nervous.
Different from some daily popular science content in the past, Xiao Zhang's "How How" series is personally practiced, recording videos throughout the process and taking everyone to immersive experience.
In this way, you can encounter many unexpected situations that are not often encountered in "paper talk", and they are also special situations that people will encounter in their daily lives.
For example, many people understand that the same subway line is divided into two directions, and the terminal and departure station are reversed.
However, in some subway stations, these two directions can not be reached by walking two steps back to back, but to choose a good direction on the upper floor, and then take the escalator down, otherwise it will directly affect the efficiency of the ride.
For example, the current general hospitals have basically realized paperless office, and all processes are operated on machines.
After the doctor prescribes medicine or examination items for you, be sure to go to the corresponding window to get the medicine or do the examination after paying the fee on the machine.
This is all explained by Xiao Zhang himself.
The more ordinary things in everyone's life, the easier it is to have overlooked details, not to mention that in today's Internet technology, previous experience often becomes insufficient.
And Xiao Zhang's video, in addition to really teaching everyone how to deal with these ordinary difficulties in life, also tells everyone: you are not alone.
In Xiaozhang's video comment area, there are young people who have walked out of the county for the first time.
They had just arrived in the big city, and they didn't even dare to walk into the mall alone, and they were afraid that the clerk laughed at them when they went to Starbucks for the first time.
Because of fear, 19 years old dare not take a plane, go home on vacation rather transfer several lines to take the high-speed train home, is not able to cross the complicated process of the psychological barrier.
I would rather risk taking a black car than dare to take the subway and bus, because of low self-esteem, I can't open my mouth, and I don't know how to operate.
And those who think schools and families will teach these most basic life skills, but don't get help.
"Every time I ask my dad some common sense of life, he says that when I grow up, I can't understand how I can't understand me."
Because they are worried that they will make a mistake, they frantically search for what they need to do before departure, and they teach a lot of knowledge in school, but there is very little common sense of life.
And those who are born with social fear.
In the eyes of others, "it's not just a matter of asking a mouthful", and when it comes to them, they can't open their mouths.
When they get to the barbershop, they dare not ask for it, and they feel embarrassed to say "no" when they feel unwell, so instead of forcing them to open their mouths and ask for someone, it is better to let them be more sure of what is about to happen before this.
In "Dark Glory", which was very popular some time ago, the screenwriter wrote a particularly real and heartfelt coffee shop ordering scene.
The heroine played by Qiao Mei has a bad family, she has not had a good life since she was a child, and after being admitted to college, she went to a coffee shop for the first time to order food.
She didn't know the name "Ice American" and just said to the clerk: "Ice, the strongest coffee."
Of course, the clerk understood what she meant, and ordered her to add a concentrated portion of ice American.
After ordering, he immediately flashed to the side, not daring to say another word or delay a little time.
When it was the turn of the male protagonist behind Qiao Mei to order, because he had a solid family since he was a child, he had long been accustomed to the ordering process of this coffee shop, so he easily completed the ordering.
In just one detail, I wrote the embarrassment of the heroine. Such embarrassments are not difficult to resolve, but few people can take care of their needs.
However, learning such ordering skills does not mean that she is superior, but at such moments, she can be more calm, more clearly express her needs, and enjoy the due service.
Xiao Zhang's introduction to the "How How" series of videos is: No one is born with caviar.
Yes, no one is born with a life of brocade and food, let alone those who may not eat caviar for the rest of their lives, but they still have the right to enjoy public life.
And they are often the most overlooked group.
Not everyone is born with this hurdle towards society.
Low self-esteem, social fear, fear... All kinds of emotions make them unable to open their mouths to ask for people, but disguised as making the voices of these people weaker.
Some netizens left a message to Xiao Zhang, saying that her video has preserved the most basic dignity and decency of many people, protecting everyone from experiencing the sense of suffocation and helplessness left behind by the times.
I hope that more Xiao Zhang will appear, and I hope that more people can find a more comfortable posture towards the vast world here.
