Recently, Li Xiao, a boy in 05, recorded the process of buying a car for his father with a video, which aroused praise from netizens.

Li Xiao was born in 2005 and is a native of Lianyungang, Jiangsu. On May 10, he told Jiupai News that because he found that he was extremely talented in e-sports, he became a game booster after graduating after his unsatisfactory results in the high school entrance examination.

"When I graduated from junior high school, I was already able to make money by boosting, and I wanted to work hard in the field I was good at. My family and I discussed a career in esports, and even though my father didn't know much about gaming, he respected my wishes. Li Xiao said that his father immediately bought him the highest mobile phone at that time, and taught him to do his best in one thing. At that time, he silently made up his mind that he must compete for a place in the game competition.

He said that at that time, the income was not very stable, more than 10,000 yuan a month when it was high, only a few thousand when it was low, or even no income. But from the moment he walked out of school, he didn't reach out and ask his parents for money. In order to improve his skills, he spends an average of 5 hours a day earning money, and the rest of the time is spent studying the movement of game heroes and learning operation skills.

In April 2021, he won the first place in the country in the pinnacle competition, gaining more than 300,000 fans. This achievement has allowed his booster customers to increase rapidly, with a monthly income of about 30,000 yuan at most. Since devoting himself full-time to the game industry, Li Xiao has saved more than 100,000 yuan.

"When I was in school, I was used as a negative teaching material by teachers, and most parents felt that boosting was not a stable career. But my dad wanted me to live my life, and it was his support that kept me going, and he was very proud of me when I got to the top of the race. ”

He said that the first thing he does after earning money is to give back to his family. "It is because of the support of my family that I am where I am today."

Li Xiao's father has always driven an old van, and he bought a second-hand Honda Binzhi for his father. "I feel a sense of accomplishment to be able to do something for my family with my own efforts." He said.

Li Xiao said that when every win or loss affects the salary, the game also loses its original fun. Coupled with the fact that the new generation in this industry has sprung up, there are always people who offer lower prices and have a faster ability to respond. Therefore, he decided to switch to crystal e-commerce.

At present, the purchase, operation and after-sales work of the store are all completed by Li Xiao alone. He said that his boosting career in the past few years has cultivated a strong mindset for doing business, and the experience of engaging in esports is very meaningful. Now he still takes orders in his spare time, and after the game returns to entertainment, he has regained its original fun.
