专题13 董宇辉与直播带货

姓名：_________ 班级：_________ 学号：_________

01

Dong Yuhui was a teacher at New Oriental, an English-language training organization. On June 9th 2022, he became a big hit online by selling agricultural (农业的) products through live-streaming (直播). Agricultural products, like fruits and beef, are from plants or animals.

Unlike other live-streamers, Dong talked about what he would usually talk about in a classroom, both in Chinese as well as in English, before coming to the point. But his viewers just loved it.

“It’s very good,” someone said. “I feel like being in a classroom.” That very evening, sales from his live-streaming reached 15 million yuan ($2.23 million), while his video was put on the daily hot list on popular short-video platform Douyin.

New Oriental is finally seeing hope after a year of struggle. It faced its biggest challenge after the Ministry of Education introduced a national policy banning (禁止) after-school training.

New Oriental finally found a way to overcome its difficulty: Selling agricultural products through live-streaming.

Its struggle should serve as an inspiration for other organizations that have been badly hit because of the new policy. In fact, several video-sharing apps are already planning to attract live-streamers for agricultural sales. By October 2021, at least one app had got 126,000 “new farmers” born after 1995, who could clearly tell their viewers how they were growing fruits and vegetables and attracting more people to buy their products.

There are yoga and boxing teachers, as well as carpenters(木匠), who share their knowledge or skills online and make money. It’s a new way to express themselves better.

In 2019, he moved to Beijing from Xi’an, and became an English teacher at New Oriental Education. Dong    44    (teach) about 500,000 students since he joined New Oriental.

After the new policy was introduced, he was moved to his new job at DongfangZhenxuan   45    a host (主持人). “It has been a hard time, but we didn’t give up and insisted on live streaming for over 10 hours a day. I am glad that I didn’t give up selling agricultural products (农产品) online,” said Dong.

Dong introduced steaks (牛排) in both Chinese and English, then people began to notice that the channel was very different from others. While he    46    (talk) about the steak, Dong also taught the viewers how to order steak in English at a restaurant.

“I am just    47    ordinary person selling vegetables on Douyin (China’s TikTok). I hope that people do not pay too much attention to me. More focus (关注) should    48    (give) to many of the ordinary people’s lives like street vendors and farmers,” Dong said.

“As for future plans, I am planning to sell more agricultural products    49    (help) improve farmers’ incomes (收入). If the products are sold, farmers    50    (make) more money.” Dong said, “My father is my example who always tries his best to buy and read newspapers,    51    he is a busy farmer. He thinks newspapers opens his mind.”

When Dong Yuhui, a former English tutor at New Oriental, first started to host livestreams (直播) selling products on the company’s Douyin channel, there were only five viewers, which included his parents and the parents of another host.

“For a period of time, I felt quite down because I couldn’t s    54     the point of making the effort. Those were the darkest hours and now the dawn has come. I am glad that I didn’t give up selling vegetables o    55    ,” said Dong.

But people have realized that Dong is no ordinary salesman. On Monday, while selling dried Antarctic krill, Dong told viewers that “krill” is just one of several English nouns used to refer to shrimps and related sea creatures. Comments started to flood in from viewers saying that they never e    61     to learn something from a channel that sells things.
