Reporter: Why did you decide to live stream the goods?
Chen Guoping: Some things are forced out by accident. The voices scolding me were louder a while ago, and my heart became cold quickly, but I also understood quickly.
I put down a lot of baggage, don't care about any noise, and just do what I like. I don’t want any personality, I don’t want the so-called value, I don’t want the reputation that everyone gives me, I just want to be an ordinary person.
There are seniors and juniors at home, so I work with my hands without any shame. At the very least, creating wealth and paying more taxes can be regarded as a sense of social responsibility. You cannot just lie there and wait for social benefits. Reporter
: How do you feel about starting the live broadcast of goods?
Chen Guoping: I feel pretty good. There are 20,000 people online and more than 10,000 viewers at the same time. The sales in one night are 100,000 yuan. Maybe this data is not too much, but I have no team and no experience, so I am quite satisfied with this result. Reporter
: What products are you mainly selling this time?
Chen Guoping: Mainly agricultural and sideline products from Xinjiang. I have contacted them before. I went to Xinjiang to help farmers in 2023 and took them with me once. They have a project called "Xinjiang Goods Out of Xinjiang" to push Xinjiang's agricultural products to the mainland through their business platform.
Xinjiang is also my second hometown. I served as a soldier there and know it well. Because I currently don’t have a product selection team and rely entirely on my own efforts. By cooperating with these familiar merchants, I feel more confident and dare to take a step forward.

Reporter: Are there many brands coming to you to bring goods now?
Chen Guoping: There are many, but I don’t have a product selection team, and I don’t dare to try them easily since I have never dealt with merchants. Reporter
: Will you consider forming a product selection team in the future?
Chen Guoping: We don’t have any plans yet. Let’s take it step by step. Don't set so many goals for yourself. I have had this experience before. I put a lot of weight on myself and it was very hard. Reporter
: Will live streaming become a normalized behavior?
Chen Guoping: Just go with your feelings. Anyway, I don’t have a staff, I’m just by myself. It’s very free and convenient. Reporter
: Will you consider combining live streaming with anti-fraud in the future?
Chen Guoping: This is still difficult to implant. If I talk about anti-fraud, many people may find various reasons to attack me, and then nothing can be done. Since anti-fraud cannot be done, we can do other things that are beneficial to the people.
is doing live broadcasting to bring goods. At least I can survive. When I have funds, I can help some people in need. But I don’t think about it that much now, otherwise others will say that I am using this as a cover to deceive. It is better to say that I can do whatever I want.
I just want to let go of everything, be happy, and live a good life. If we can't be a pillar, we can just be a legal citizen. (According to Jiupai News)
