Today's protagonist is called Xi Shanbin, and familiar friends will affectionately call him "Dabin" (Himalayan anchor ID: Mo Xin). In addition, he also has a nickname called "Strange Hand Dabin".
Poor family, congenital disability, graduating from junior high school, when everyone around him believes that God has closed all the doors of his life.
He did not admit his fate, did the emcee host, went to CCTV, became an anchor, and stubbornly opened the windows of life with his voice.
"I've been after it for most of my life, just for the word 'fairness,' and in the Himalayas, I finally found it."
From a layman who failed to audition for a year, to gradually grow into "the first person to write audiobooks in Daqing". In 5 years, 21 sound works, 4 works have been played more than one million times.
He succeeded in playing one of the strongest symphonies of destiny with a pair of broken hands.
Anchor Dabin earnestly performs audiobooks at home
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > audition for a year, and finally "break the cocoon into a butterfly"</h1>
By chance, Dabin got acquainted with the Himalayas platform. With a junior high school education, he saw that there were anchors recruited on the platform, no academic requirements, and no professional background.
"Great! It's just for me. As a person with a voice talent since childhood, Dabin immediately decided that this was his best belonging. He did not hesitate to buy the equipment and began the 5-year long road of anchors.
But easier said than done.
For the line of broadcasting books, DaBin is a blank piece of paper, and he has failed again and again when he first applied for a plus V. (Note: Shen V is a step in the qualification of Himalaya anchors)
It was not until he saw that the "Himalayan University" opened an anchor learning lecture, and after the careful guidance of the staff, he finally applied for V success.

But the success of Shen V is only the "first step in the long march". The platform audiobook is the selection of anchors through open registration auditions, and a book often has nearly 100 anchors participating in the audition at the same time, and at most 300 people can participate in the audition.
Every time, Dabin will seriously participate in the audition and is not afraid of failure. After being eliminated, it is sad to try another book for a while. After auditioning for a year, it was only after obtaining the recording rights of the first audiobook.
Later, he smiled and described, "There are some experiences that I must experience, just like breaking a cocoon into a butterfly." ”
Later, by chance, he sent a small clip of the recording to the famous studio artist Zhou Jianlong.
After Zhou Jianlong heard it, he immediately said, "This voice line, the entire broadcast book industry can not find a slap in the number", and personally taught him the acting skills of audio books.
With the careful guidance of the platform, the professional dialing of famous artists, and his unremitting efforts, the success rate of Dabin's audition was soon much higher, and he became the signed anchor of the platform.
At its peak, he passed auditions for seven audiobooks. But this also means that in addition to eating and sleeping, he insists on recording for 12 hours a day, and his mobile phone is often turned off, living a completely isolated life.
Not long ago, together with Zi Xiang and 5 other audiobook anchors, he was invited to the annual meeting in the Himalayas to share.
Moxin will share it at the Himalayas 2020
At the annual meeting, he was asked by Yu Jianjun, co-CEO of Himalaya, "What is the force that makes you fail to audition for a year, but you can persist?" ”
Unexpectedly, he immediately blurted out the word "fair".
"Fairness", seemingly simple two words, but behind it contains his pursuit for most of his life.
For these two words, he fought all the way from the northeast countryside to the stage of CCTV's "Avenue of Stars". But it wasn't until he met the Himalayas that he found the fairness he had pursued for most of his life—an opportunity for a grassroots counterattack, the dignity of a special group.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > a pair of broken hands to shape the "rigid" personality</h1>
Da Bin once summed up his past in a passage: born in a cold door, a young child left home, congenital disability, half a life drifting zero, people are middle-aged, and they have a family. He has been a hotel porter and hosted a red and white wedding.
Dabin was born in 1980 to a poor peasant family in Heilongjiang Province. His hands were congenitally absent of adhesion, born with four fingers, each hand only two fingers left, and the middle finger could not be bent.
Dabin was a child photo
It is also because of this pair of hands that Dabin's self-esteem has been particularly strong since he was a child, and he can accept others saying that he is poor and has poor grades, but he absolutely does not allow others to talk about his hands.
In junior high school, a male classmate joked with his hand, and without saying a word, he used his fist to fight with the other party. For this matter, he was also imprisoned in a juvenile detention center.
"Grandpa said that my personality is too rigid, if rigidity is used on the right path, one day I will definitely be able to get ahead." (Note: "Gang" in the Northeast dialect, is the meaning of backbone, temper, and dignity)
Da Bin secretly remembered his grandfather's words in his heart and vowed to break through the hall of fame.
Because of family economic reasons, DaBin dropped out of junior high school and began to sing happy songs with a master in the village when he was a teenager. (Note: Singing happy songs is a kind of performance in the north, often appearing in rural wedding and funeral activities)
In one day, he can get 20 yuan of wages, and he is particularly satisfied. After all, this was the first money he had earned with his own hands.
Because he had a unique voice, his eloquence followed the master's practice more and more, and he came to Daqing City to become a wedding celebrant.
Da Bin worked as a wedding celebrant in his early years
What he did not expect was that in the lively scene of the wedding in the big city, his hands that were embarrassed and had nowhere to be placed seemed a little out of place. More than a third of clients, when they learn that he has a hand disability, ask the wedding company for a replacement.
But since he was a child, he was sensitive in his heart, and a seemingly casual remark from others would be deeply pierced into his heart like a sharp knife.
"What's wrong with you? Why don't you tell us in advance and you know how much this has affected our family? ”
Looking back on it to this day, DaBin still clearly remembers the mother of a groom, knowing that he had a hand disability, and wanted to return the order on the spot, aggressively.
But this time, he no longer used violence to solve the problem as a teenager, but chose to say "I'm sorry" to the other party on the side, "After all, this is a wedding company, and there are so many people to help you, you can't let others be implicated." ”
Only in the middle of the night, a person lay in the small house rented by Daqing, looking at the ceiling, "At that time, I was asking myself, you say I owe an apology, so who owes me an apology?" What am I wrong with? ”
Lu Yao said a sentence in "Ordinary World", in fact, each of us is a world, even the most ordinary people, we must fight for the world in which he lives.
As an ordinary ordinary person, at that time, Dabin only had one thought, that is, to desperately make his business better.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > on CCTV's "Avenue of Stars", just to "realize the dream"</h1>
To this end, Dabin signed up to participate in the Heilongjiang Provincial Wedding Host Competition, and fought all the way to the final and won the provincial championship.
However, even after winning the championship, in the emcee's presidency, he was still subject to rejection from time to time, "In fact, I don't blame others, this industry really does not allow disabled people to exist." It was a miracle that I was able to survive in this industry for so many years. ”
The stubbornness in his bones made Da Bin have an idea, "Maybe I am not famous enough, not good enough." We should continue on our way. ”
Therefore, he once again set his sights on the "Avenue of Stars", a CCTV program with the purpose of "entertaining the people themselves", advocating that whether it is a farmer or a worker, as long as you have the courage to express yourself and dare to appear on the stage, your dreams can be realized here.
An ordinary person in the countryside, with no money and no power, and moreover, he is also disabled, and it is definitely not an easy task to want to appear on the stage of CCTV.
First of all, the program group asked the registered contestants to upload their own performance videos on the Internet first, and conduct preliminary selection through the click rate. To be selected among the nation's overwhelming number of entrants is like finding a needle in a haystack.
In order to realize his dream, he began a 3-year long dream building plan. While preparing your own ideas and recording videos, you are constantly hosting shows and weddings for others to earn the cost of asking others to record videos.
Once, twice, three times... Failed, start over...
Later, DaBin used the word "hand-to-hand combat" to describe the journey of climbing on the stage of the "Walk of Fame" - 3 years of hardships and twists, persistent pursuit of dreams, but also the process of challenging fate.
Starlight does not live up to the passers-by, and time pays off.
With unremitting efforts, Dabin's performance with a Russian girl finally appeared on the stage of the "Walk of Fame".

Years later, recalling this experience, Dabin still feels lucky, "The stage is a kind of complex in my heart. I don't want to be famous, not for any other reason, I just want to stand on the biggest stage of this ordinary person, maybe to give an account to myself and the people who have helped me. ”
After that, he repeatedly appeared on the stage of CCTV programs such as "Seven Days of National Day Music" and "Departure to Happiness", and became a local figure in Heilongjiang.

Wilde said life is never fair, but perhaps for most of us, it's a good thing.
This thing of fate is really magical, this pair of imperfect hands, once made Dabin fall to the bottom, but also let him get reborn.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > accumulated for 5 years and played more than 10 million</h1> times
Just when everyone thought that Dabin had survived all the suffering and was willing to come to his knees, his actions once again surprised everyone.
He refused an offer from a company in Beijing to pay more than 300,000 yuan a year, and returned to his hometown of Daqing alone, "after a trip through Vanity Fair, I suddenly felt that I didn't like it anymore." ”
He shut himself in his house all day, no longer appeared in public, and even his closest friends on weekdays could not find him on the phone, and no one knew what he was doing.
It turned out that after returning from the stage of CCTV, he accidentally met the Himalayas, and the fair competition mechanism of the platform made him fall in love with the platform at once, "I was suddenly here, and found the fairness I had been pursuing for a long time." ”
During this period, many platforms and friends invited him, and directly let him record audiobooks without audition, but he refused.
5 years, 21 works, tens of millions of plays, this achievement for other well-known anchors, may not be proud.
Mo Xin has played over a million audiobooks in the Himalayas
But for DaBin, it is a great affirmation, "Even a snail has its own dreams, and he takes one more step forward every day, which is a kind of progress." ”
From the beginning of competing with hundreds of people for a copyright layman, gradually grew into "the first person to daqing audiobook", seeing the progress of his broadcasting, the brothers around him were also eager to try. Sincerely, he transferred the thousand-yuan microphone sent by others to his brother, and insisted on recording with hundreds of microphones.
Asked about his expectations for the future, he smiled sheepishly and said,
"In the future, I hope to teach what I learned in Himalma to friends like me, so that they can also be employed, which is something I have always wanted to do."
