"Life is not only in front of you, but also poetry and far away", this sentence written on the pink hiking bike of Meimei who passed away on the walking live, attracted hundreds of hikers on the journey. Among them, there are Nanyang boys who cross thousands of miles with their feet; there are also many fake hikers who pretend to be like them; there are also those who drive a tractor to take their mothers to fulfill their wishes, and who drive a motorhome to pull a terminally ill friend "only the day of departure, there is no return date"... Behind the various hikers, there is actually a lingering "internet celebrity" dream.
Since the death of the live broadcast of the U.S. and American trekking coco xili no man's land on August 21 this year, the reporter of Dahe Daily has continued to pay attention to the phenomenon of live hiking in China, and accompanied a number of live hikers to experience the bittersweet and bittersweet behind their live hiking broadcast in Gansu, Qinghai and other places.
Fake hikers forced reporters to delete photos and videos
On the morning of the National Day in 2021, the mist on the shore of Qinghai Lake, the lakeside avenue where tourists are weaving, from time to time will flash the figure of hikers, the reporter carefully observes, these hikers either push a small cart, or pull a modified motorhome, while walking live, most hikers will also bring a different shape of the puppy as a companion.
The reporter entered the live broadcast room named "Tiger Girl Hiking Tibet" through the mobile phone short video platform, a tiger girl in a white dress walked live while hiking, she claimed to have hiked from the northeast to Qinghai, and then hiked to Tibet and traveled around the country: "To celebrate the National Day, I want to challenge 24-hour uninterrupted hiking, and live broadcast the whole process", the reporter followed her to hike live less than two kilometers when she was found by two men in a black off-road vehicle who followed her, and they questioned why the reporter has been following the photo? He also forced reporters to delete photos and videos.
A hiker next to him pulled the reporter aside and whispered: "These are fake hikes, completely for the purpose of deceiving traffic, once they get to a place with poor signal or not suitable for live broadcasting, they get on the car and stay in the hotel, they all have teams, all the way are pk, a few days ago I also saw them go to a county to live pick goji berries, a day can earn tens of thousands of it."
The fake hikers on the shores of Qinghai Lake actually stood still on the mobile phone screen
Walking on the evening of September 30th, the sparkling Qinghai Lake under the sunset afterglow, in strong contrast with the beautiful scenery of Qinghai Lake, is a homestay next to the lake, a modified minivan back compartment door wide open, two slightly fat men are facing the mobile phone screen in the car to do running, the reporter approached to watch, found that these two men are actually facing the camera is live broadcasting: "Old iron, I am hiking by Qinghai Lake, everyone see, Qinghai Lake is beautiful, right? I pull the camera a little closer, is it beautiful? Beauty is not in a hurry to like and tip..."
The reporter saw the words "Tang Dynasty Journey to the West, Chengdu - Tibet" in their hiking car, and when the reporter observed for nearly an hour and left, the two men were still doing hiking samples in situ on the mobile phone screen, and their bodies shook from side to side, as if they were walking quickly on a treadmill.
Netizen "Hubei Xia Yu" encountered these two fake hikers on the 318 line as early as August this year when hiking Tibet, and exposed their fake hikes on his short video platform: "It seems that the hiking anchors are broadcast like this now, it is too difficult!" Hahaha. Some netizens quickly commented in the back: "This is Hiking Tibet, this is not Tibet on the treadmill."
Fake trekking became a street rat, and everyone shouted and beat
On June 18 this year, a hiker named "Xiao Xinxin" was chased and intercepted by netizens, and uploaded videos and pictures of his fake hiking to the Internet.
Previously, some netizens tracked "Xiao Xinxin" for several days, she was sent by an off-road vehicle to a place with a signal suitable for live broadcasting every day, and then sent to a neighboring hotel by off-road vehicle after the broadcast, netizens questioned her face to face: "Why is your skin not dark at all after hiking for such a long time?" Why is the backpack and luggage in your trekking vehicle so new, and some of them have not even been opened? There wasn't even a bit of mud on the ruts of your trekking bike, so why did you hike? "Xiao Xinxin", who was dumbfounded by the questioning, fled into the wilderness.
A netizen who specialized in live broadcasting the anti-counterfeiting (fake hiking) on the 318 line and the 109 line sent the reporter several typical examples he took in the process of fighting counterfeiting, one is a man pulling a trekking car, walking in the back, but in front of a Sichuan a black Land Rover is pulling a trekking car with a rope, seeing someone taking pictures to fight counterfeiting, the man pulling the trekking car actually used the iron basin on the car to smash the photographer.
The netizen named "Net Red Changsha" then exposed the fake hiker on his short video platform, and matched it: "How many gifts have been brushed with old iron, sad!" The subtitle, the copy below the video, netizens wrote: "There are people who 'fake hiking' Tibet, with a dog and a tricycle, but there are Land Rovers pulling in front." ”
A netizen named "military brother driving a truck" exposed the footage of several fake hikers grouping through no man's land, about five differently dressed trekking vehicles were connected by a rope, each trekking vehicle had a person pulling a trekking vehicle, and the car at the front turned out to be a motor vehicle, he wrote on this video "Let's look at these fake steps on the Qinghai-Tibet Line", the following copy is: "Speechless, hiking through no man's land, Coco Xili met several fake hiking enthusiasts from different places, How many trekking vehicles were connected together and dragged by motor vehicles, which is also considered hiking? ”
The reporter and the hikers Zhang Nan and Lian Wenjin, who had previously tracked and interviewed, talked about the problem of fake hiking, they all said that "more is", the 318 line is the most, hundreds of people are more, at most there must be thousands of people, the 109 line was originally quite a lot, but since the United States was killed, the platform has strengthened the control of the live broadcast of hiking, as long as it is found that it is live broadcast on the hiking route, it will be immediately banned, so now the 109 line of live hiking is less, but the live broadcast of hiking around Qinghai Lake has increased, especially in several counties around Qinghai Lake. Every county has, behind the scenes of these fake hikes there are teams, there are professional cameras, these hikers are either beautiful-looking girls, or there are characteristics that can catch people's attention of the elderly or disabled, there are professional shooting, post-production, specially released and interactive on various platforms, as well as arrange car pick-up and delivery to eat and live, really like Meimei a little girl pull a car alone to hike very few.
Reporter's Note: True and false hiking, the difference is vast
Tracking and reporting on the "Meimei Hiking Live Broadcast Shipwreck" incident for more than two months, contact with all kinds of hikers and many netizens who know the inside story, the encounters and lives of real and fake hikers can be described as a world of difference.
Meimei and Lian Wenjin, who are really hiking, rely on their feet to measure the "far away" step by step, thirsty to drink spring water, hungry to collect firewood and cook, they often have low fans, live broadcast is just to give their families peace and record the hiking life, and do not deliberately want fans to tip.
Fake hikers, on the other hand, are only superficial, symbolically "taking two steps" during the live broadcast, and they either scratch their heads in the live broadcast room or cry poorly and sell miserably, in order to increase powder and ask for gifts, no different from beggars who cripple their legs under the overpass and beg. But the fans of these people are often millions, among which several netizens who sent off for them in Golmud after the death of Meimei also gained hundreds of thousands of fans, and after harvesting a large number of fans, these big v achievements retreated and quickly left the "hiking world".
Real hikers because the number of fans and live broadcast income is often not too high, some have to give up halfway, some have to move forward, these hikers give the impression of worn clothes, dark skin, some even lost their lives for this, Meimei is a living example. As soon as those fake hikers leave the live camera, they will become anchors with goods, some return to their hometowns to sell bacon, some go live to sell goji berries, and make a lot of money one by one.
