In many Spring Festivals in the past, foreign seller Wang Guibing almost sent foreign sales in Kunshan. Spring Festival is a good time to make money, and a single income is several times that of ordinary times. But this year's Spring Festival, Wang Guibing rarely stopped selling foreign sales because he received an invitation to attend the Central Television Spring Festival Gala.
Under the spotlight of the Spring Festival Gala, the camera was mounted in front of him. Wang Yingbing was wearing a blue jacket and a red scarf dedicated to the Spring Festival Gala Carnival. "My name is Wang Guibing, and I am a foreign seller." Wang Guibing introduced himself like this, and his eyes smiled into a line. Host Long Yang added: "In fact, Brother Wang has another identity, he is a poet." Wang Guibing pointed his head slightly and smiled deeper: "People are a candy in my life." This sentence comes from a poem by him.
Wang Guibing is 57 years old this year, born in Pizhou, Xuzhou, and has been working as a foreign seller in Kunshan. During the years he spent his spare time writing more than 6,000 poems. Until July 2022, the song "The Man in Time" was posted on Weibo by a poet and its views reached 20 million. Wang Guibing It is also called a "foreign seller" and has become a hit from this moment.
This time at the Spring Festival Gala, Wang Guibing also wrote a poem called "Red". Just like the red scarf surrounded by him, and like the huge red countertop wall on the Spring Festival Gala, full of joy. After the Spring Festival Gala ends, Wang Guibing will continue to go abroad and write poems. As written in "Red": "Month and I shine on each other/and we also have a heart that is as intact as before."
celebrity
Wang Guibing became a celebrity.
Walking off the Spring Festival Gala stage, Wang Guibing opened his cell phone and entered countless messages of congratulations. He recovered for two hours and only 1/3 of it. On the 10th day of the New Year, Wang Guibing returned to the "Jinyan Store" who was owned by his own small sales department in Kunshan. Two young girls passed by the door, one said to the other: "I heard that this person went to participate in the Spring Festival Gala!"
Wang Guibing lived near the small sales department, and the neighborhood on the building brought his daughter to the small sales department to play. The reporter asked this neighbor: "Do you know that Brother Wang is going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala?" "Who can't know? How many people can participate in the Spring Festival Gala in Su Province in the whole province of Jiangxi?" Jung Ju said loudly. Wang Guibing thrust his hand embarrassedly.
Wang Guibing is not unfamiliar with this feeling. Since walking on the Internet more than two years ago, Wang Guibing often saw promotional videos about himself on buses and subways, and occasionally he was recognized when he was sold abroad. When participating in social events, he was able to play on the same stage with many celebrities.
At the Spring Festival Gala, Wang Guibing met many celebrities. At the end of the report, he and Sabine missed each other in the background, the music was noisy and the words were almost drowned. He looked at Sabine and said in a low voice: "I really want to see Sabine." Sabine didn't hear clearly, so she grabbed Wang Guibing and slapped his ears around his mouth. "I really want to see Sabei Ning!" Wang Jingbing repeated the sound again. Saber smiled, patted his shoulder, and gave him a hug.
On the live broadcast of "The Spring Festival Gala Waiting for You", Guan Ni read a song from Wang Jingbing's poem "Flying in a Lower Place" in her Western opera: "Age Month has given us many difficulties, and it is also worthy of our kindness." She asked Wang Jingbing, you Will you write my first poem? Wang Guibing has always remembered this promise. After returning to his hometown from Beijing, he really wrote a poem for Gu Ni and posted it on his Weibo account. Guan Ni replied to him: "Thank you for your poems by Wang Jianbing, and I hope to continue to sing the beauty of life in our respective ways in 2025."
Even though he met so many celebrities, Wang Guibing did not want to take the initiative to add their WeChat. He knew he was different from "they". "I know how important their WeChat is to them. They don't lack you as a friend. If you want to add you, you will definitely say that if you don't want to add, you will be a bit presumptuous when you ask." He was not willing to chase after him and take a photo, and his wife asked He has been many times, why didn’t he take photos together? Wang Guibing still said: "I don't need to take photos with you. Just like you, do you want to fuck him? Do you have to chase him?"
There is only one exception. In October 2023, the Center for Strategic and Security Research at Tsinghua University and the United States and the National Committee of the United States and China Relations jointly held a dialogue between China and the United States. Wang Guibing was invited to New York, and Yao Ming was also the one who walked with him.
Wang Jingbing and his wife Guo Yiyun said that he saw Yao Ming, and his wife ordered: "You must bring the photo back." Every two hours after that, Guo Yiyun would urge Wang Jingbing on WeChat: "Have you taken a photo with Yao Ming?" He replied, “There is no chance.”
While waiting in the hotel, Wang Jingbing looked at Yao Ming sitting on the chair. Wang Jingbing wanted to go forward, but still felt abrupt. Until the last afternoon, he finally plucked up his courage and walked to Yao Ming: "I told him that I came to take photos with you with my family's expectations." The photo was posted in the family group, which attracted a while. Hurry. After taking a photo, Wang Guibing came to the stage to speak, and he shared his experiences under his different identities. Wang Guibing thought that it was not until that moment that Yao Ming or Xu knew that the Chinese man who came to take a photo with him was a foreigner and a poet.
"Dating with celebrities is inconsistent, but life will be richer." This kind of sober mind is finally over. After the Spring Festival Gala ended, Wang Guibing's editing believed that his social platform account number could increase by 100,000 fans, but in fact, he only gained 10,000 fans.
Wang Guibing comforted and edited, the Spring Festival Gala has been over, and all he wants to do is how to write the work well. After a few years, everyone will look back at the Spring Festival Gala in Central and think that Wang Guibing's participation is not indecent, so he is always working hard, and this is enough.
"The media's attention to me is like tiling up blocks of bricks under my feet." Wang Jingbing made a metaphor. He was 1.68 meters tall, and when he was 1.8 meters tall, he was 1.8 meters tall and 2.8 meters tall. . "It seems to be higher than Yao Ming, but it's not the case in fact."
The mover
In the past year, Wang Guibing only sent foreign sales in Kunshan for only two months.
Some people say that he used to be a foreign seller and loves to write poems, but now he is a poet and loves to sell for foreign sell. Wang Guibing smiled, thinking that the evaluation was not wrong. In 2024, he continued to promote his three collections, accepting various interviews and participating in various activities.
The traveling in Fengyu is gradually replaced by the opera. He made some money, but it is "not as much as everyone imagined." In his early years, Wang Guibing borrowed a lot of money to support his children's reading, but now he still has a debt. Compared to being rich and expensive, Wang Guibing said that his primary goal is to "destroy".
In February, when the temperature suddenly dropped, Wang Guibing sat in front of his second-hand computer in Jinyan Store, wrapped in an old black feather suit, looking at the store, reading poems on WeChat public account, and sorting out his poems into the QQ space .
Wang Guibing was reluctant to turn on the heater. He had burned the charcoal fire several times before, and the roof of the small sales office was blackened and he could only use it as a scrub. He folded and slapped several empty smoke boxes on the tiles, and the white one was used to write poems. When it was quiet at night, the tip of the pen left a whisper on the smoke box, making him feel at ease.
Due to location reasons, the store has almost no money for the past two years. Wang Guibing wanted to transfer the store, but he was afraid that netizens would guess, "Has his family made money?" He was most afraid of others saying that he could not endure hardships.
Wang Guibing has been through hardships, and he can endure hardships.
Wang Guibing's hometown, Pizhou, is closely connected with Kunshan and friendly support. Therefore, in recent years, many people in Pizhou have been willing to come to Kunshan to do small-scale purchases. When Wang Guibing went to Kunshan, he sold fruits and made mobile food. Later, he ate the ground at the intersection and sold small goods worth one yuan per piece. In the past two years, he earned 30,000 yuan. With this wealth, Wang Guibing opened a bookstore - he still likes literature and has a literature dream.
In less than two months, the bookstore was "taken away" - without a business license, all of them will be processed as a magazine. The bookstore has closed, but life still has to continue. Wang Guibing knew a broken Pizhou old town. Wang Guibing observed how he broke the wall and learned some skills after going there. In some places, there are a lot of waste materials for building construction. People who open the excavator can help you smash it for two times, and then they can knock the broken ones with a small horn for a day. The steel tendons in the concrete are very thick, and you can get hundreds of pounds with one tap, which can cost up to 500 yuan a day. Once, Wang Guibing went to tear down the iron skin on the roof and injured his little finger. The doctor said it would cost several thousand yuan to reconnect the tendons, but that piece of iron skin only sold for a few ten yuan. Now, the little finger still cannot be straightened. This is the eternal scar on Wang Guibing's body, but he said that this is the pad in his body, making him look like a wall, even more stubborn and more courageous.
Later, when a new restaurant was opened, Wang Guibing went to the door to rent a house and continued to sell miscellaneous goods. Almost all the food in the vegetable market are from Pizhou. When there is no business, everyone gathers together to talk about family affairs, which is very warm. Not long after, Wang Guibing rented two houses next door and built a shed to live in his own small home. The neighbors took good care of him and always packed old clothes to his children.
In 2009, the restaurant was demolished, and Wang Guibing, his wife and children were forced to move. He works odd jobs and labor, carries heavy objects on the railway and on the head, unloads 50 kilograms of iron, and can earn 200 yuan in two hours; he can move 35 old-fashioned desktop computers to the 7th floor, and he can get 25 yuan in one trip. . After so many years, Wang Guibing can still clearly recall these numbers. "There is a saying in my hometown that there is only blessings that cannot be enjoyed, no sin that cannot be taken." Wang Guibing said.
In 2018, in order to provide subsidies, Wang Guibing registered as a part-time foreign seller. He always said later that the days of being an outdoor seller were his lightest time.
Some people say that hardship can make a poet become a poet, but Wang Guibing never felt that. "As a writer, you should be more sensitive to life and be good at discovering the pain points in life, but this is different from the pain you feel." Looking back at those days when outsiders seem to be painful, stay in Wang Jingbing's brain It's something else.
For a while, Wang Guibing found a wall of wood and old wooden boards, asked for a piece of canvas, and built a small shed for his family in a deserted riverbed as a temporary residence. Such a difficult life can also taste. In the evening, Wang Guibing liked to knock on a piece of ice and put it in the bucket, put it on the ground beside the bed, soaking his feet in it. "It's quite comfortable, I remember these."
Poet
On the day when she received the invitation letter for the Spring Festival Gala at the entrance of Jinyan Store, Wang Jingbing's wife was particularly happy. Even when she was facing the lens, she still surrounded the red scarf of the Spring Festival Gala around Wang Jingbing's neck and excitedly hanged with him, making him feel bad. Good luck.
Being able to participate in the Spring Festival Gala is naturally a worry. But Wang Guibing said that what he was most happy about was in 2023, and at the entrance of the Jinyan store, he received his first collection of poems, "The Man of Time".
One of the most eye-catching parts of the small sales department today - beside the smoke, snatch and flashlight, there are all the poems Wang Jingbing has published so far. As long as someone asks, why do you still sell books here? Wang Guibing would answer proudly: I wrote this!
But Wang Guibing also has anxiety about the sales of Poems.
Sometimes, someone asked him to participate in a liberal arts event and asked him how much money he should pay for, and then tried to report a number. Wang Guibing said, you might as well buy my book with this money. Of course, the share of the book that can be sold is not as expensive as this time's appearance, but some people buy his books and read his poems, which is more expensive for him.
Wang Guibing's first poem "The Man of Time" was printed 11 times in two years, with a circulation of more than 100,000 copies. The second episode, "I Love This World Clumsyly", has a lower sales volume, but it also exceeds 50,000. In the third book, he spent a lot of effort to describe the subseller's poem "Flying in the Lower" and the sales volume was only more than 10,000 yuan.
At that time, Wang Guibing was determined to make a sound for foreign sellers, so he planned the theme of this poem. At the beginning, he issued a question paper to the website managers who sold the site and asked them to help the riders fill in the paper. 60 questions were rolled out and they were disappointed after recycling. Some people were sloppy, and the answers to many questions were highly similar. So, Wang Guibing decided on the transformation strategy, and he started to conduct offline interviews. In the back door channel of the mall, he kept the outside seller who seemed not too busy. The opening ceremony was: Brother, can you talk? Being rejected is absolutely common. Once, a Sichuan media followed him to the interview process. He went up to "check" and explained his intentions, but the other party turned to the ground with a cold look: Roll! This scene was also recorded in full by the lens.
In the end, 140 foreign sellers gave him kindness. In that episode of "Flying in the Lower" he wrote a female foreigner he met, "When she said these words/so natural/like a girl/became a mother/like a crop/enter Autumn is as natural as it is.” He wrote a solo outsider, "his single hand on his chest/more like a kind of mercy of Buddha." Finally he wrote, "If there is the fifth season in people/that must be/Brother's Spring", carrying some hope.
Wang Guibing has high hopes for "Flying in Lower" and in his imagination, this book should be "noted by some high-level players in the foreign sales platform" to produce positive effects, such as improving the environment where foreign salesmen are located. But the ideal is full and it is actually very skinny. Wang Guibing laughed at himself, and the sales volume of more than 10,000 books in the country were worth more than 10,000 books, so it would be great if one or two people could read it in Kunshan. "I'm quite disappointed, but I don't have any choice." Wang Guibing did not exclaim his loss with Editor because he knew in his heart that Editor hoped that this book would be sold more than he did. "Some things cannot be done by manpower, and there is no need to be strong. Just work hard." He comforted himself in this way.
The fourth episode of "A Beam of Light in the Handheld" was officially released on New Year's Day this year. At the beginning, there was no poem about selling abroad in his poems. Later, he edited and contacted Wang Guibing, saying that he still hoped to add some poems about the Prime Minister, "to be conducive to publicity." Wang Guibing didn't say anything, he sorted out a few songs and added them to the poem.
In recent years, there have been many similar situations. For example, someone once suggested that when participating in an event, Wang Guibing asked to wear the clothes of foreign sellers. For example, when this new book was released, foreign sellers are still a "seller".
"I have been a foreign seller for 7 years and two years of doing express. I have been in this industry for 9 years. I am a person in this industry. This is true." Wang Guibing recognized his identity as a foreign seller. Although he was a foreign seller in order to do his best, it was precisely because of the foreign seller that he opened the door of the poetry creation again and could look up at the starry sky while walking on the ground. The family’s recognition of his writing and the traffic and attention he is rushing towards is brought by this identity. "I won't tear it off, nor do I deliberately create it." Wang Guibing believed that the most important thing was to know who he was.
In addition to outsiders, Wang Guibing also wants to be a good writer. In his opinion, if a writer is not given the power of succession, it will be a harm to everyone. His goal is still simple and clear, that is, writing poems and publishing books. For example, this year, he planned three books, the first one has been published, and the second one is a collection of prose. He wants to expand more boundaries so that everyone knows that Wang Guibing can not only write poems, but also write prose. As for the third book, the days are still long, so I sometimes think about it slowly.
In the past few years, my wife's white hair has increased a lot, and Wang Guibing saw it all. He knew Guo Yiyun's anxiety, "She was wondering how long can we last? Will the media abandon us? Will I be ruined by others? If there is a network violence, what should we do?" Once, Wang Guibing replaced others online. It was heard, and soon I experienced a brutality, and the post became popular, with 1.5 million clicks. Guo Yiyun stared at the comments, and looked out from time to time, and then looked out. There were two comments about the insulting comments, so why are there three and four more people?
During the few days when Wang Jingbing rehearsed the Spring Festival Gala in Beijing, Guo Yiyun was very proud and chatted with his relatives and friends a lot, but she was also nervous. Every day when Wang Jingbing returned to the Bing Pavilion, she had to carefully look at his face and worry about him. Is there any variation in the program? The two of them were walking in Yuqingtan together. In the evening, the urched in groups. When the urched, Guo Yiyun would urch, wanting to lose this unlucky thing.
Sometimes my wife will ask him, will you change? Wang Guibing didn't know that there was too much confusion in this world. In order to reassure his wife, his WeChat web version has been hanging on the second-hand computer in Jinyan Store. As long as his wife wants to see it, she can see all his chat records. "I think I haven't changed over the years," said Wang Guibing.
Of course, Wang Guibing also had troubles from foreign sellers to poets and “celebrities”. For example, various enterprises and educational institutions have been continuously searched for him and asked him to help him "stand up". A boss asked him to participate in his company's activities. When he clicked on the other party's circle of friends, he found that he was recruiting workers and selling goods, and there was no "one-small cultural symbol". Wang Guibing was unwilling to cooperate with this hype. A training agency asked him to teach children a book. One day a week, he could get 8,000 yuan a month. He wanted to put his photos on the wall in the admissions corridor to promote it. He heard it and shook his head. For example, at the beginning, there were many former teachers and teachers in the literary circle who were willing to point out the flaws in his poems and remind him what to pay attention to when creating. But now, these are fewer and fewer. When he becomes more famous and pays attention to a certain meaning, the point is often misinterpreted and leads to unnecessary trouble. "Teaching from fame" is a new topic that Wang Guibing faces, and there may be more topics like this in the future.
But just as Wang Jingbing thought of himself when he reported to Faye Wong on the Spring Festival Gala: "I believe that as much snow life gives me, I can encounter as much spring as I can." And Faye Wong's song seems to be lightly also Respond to him. "Someone is making smoke/someone is chasing the evening wind", "Someone wants to look back/someone wants to look forward to it", "Think about it/ask yourself/don't hear it", "The person who goes far away is at peace if he wants to be at peace."
