The rise of short ** platforms has changed people's lifestyles, and at the same time, it has also given birth to many Internet celebrities. The term didn't exist in the past, but now it has more influence than entertainment stars. These Internet celebrities used to be ordinary people, but through the platform, they have become household names. There is a black man from Africa who never dreamed that he would become a hot Internet celebrity on the live streaming platform and become famous overnight! He doesn't rely on other people's song covers or dances, but on his own talent.
After becoming famous, he actually married a beautiful Chinese woman, and his online popularity even surpassed that of many local Internet celebrities. But why did he publicly insult China? Is it because he is contemptuous, or is he misunderstood the netizens? However, recently, his account has become hot again, with millions of followers, what kind of changes has his life had?
First, the road to **: the beginning of the strangeness of coming to China.
This black African named Li Kui was born in 1991. He has loved ** since he was a child, although his father hopes that he can concentrate on his studies, be admitted to a good university, and go abroad for further study in the future. However, his pursuit of ** did not give up because of this. He was admitted to the best school in the United States, where he showed his talent. Standing out in the U.S. music scene is not an easy task, especially in the face of a large number of talented people, and it takes a lot of money to become famous in the United States. Due to the inability of his parents to support him, he finally accepted his mother's advice and decided to leave the United States.
But where should he go? Eventually, his mother suggested that he go to China. Li Kui knew nothing about this Asian country, and he had not even set foot on the Asian continent. However, in 2008, Li Kui took a plane to Chengdu, Sichuan Province alone with his suitcase. When he first arrived in Chengdu, Li Kui felt very uncomfortable, especially for the eating habits of Sichuan people, and every meal had a strong spicy taste. He entered the international ** major, and in the face of unfamiliar Sichuan classmates, he felt unable to communicate.
Learning Chinese was so challenging for him that he even considered giving up at one point. However, fortunately, his classmates enthusiastically helped him learn Chinese and regain his confidence. Later, when I learned that he was interested in **, his classmates invited him to sing on the most prosperous pedestrian street in Chengdu. Without hesitation, he began to perform on the streets, and his clear and melodious singing attracted many onlookers, which rekindled his confidence in **.
In 2018, the short ** platform was on the rise, and Li Kui initially participated in it only for entertainment purposes. His work began to gain traction, and despite the fact that he was a black man, his performance attracted many audiences. Friends suggested that he start a new business and show off his singing and dancing talents. Despite some hesitation, he eventually accepted his friend's suggestion. Within a few days, he released four works, each of which received tens of thousands of views, and the number of followers increased to hundreds of thousands in a matter of days. A month later, he broke through 10 million followers.
Subsequently, a number of **and** studios began to invite him to cooperate, and his ** career began to flourish. At first, he covered other people's songs, and later began to compose his own, accompanied by European and American style dances, which attracted the attention of more young people. He was interviewed by many **, and he did not expect to be so successful. However, more attention was paid to his love life, especially when he married a Chinese girl.
2. Married life: a love story that crosses borders.
Li Kui's love story is really surprising, his wife is a Chengdu girl named Zhu Lan. They were college classmates, and Zhu Lan had a boyfriend at the time, while Li Kui never thought about a college romance. Once, Zhu Lan found out that her boyfriend was having an improper relationship with another female classmate, so she stepped forward to question her. However, her boyfriend was not only unconvinced, but also tried to beat her. Julan couldn't match her boyfriend and was pushed to the ground. At this time, Li Kui walked over, saw that the girl was being bullied, and stepped forward without hesitation.
Although this move resulted in him being disciplined, the relationship between him and Juran gradually deepened, and although they were just ordinary friends at first, the two began to communicate and interact more. Gradually, feelings develop between them, and although Juran has some hesitations about marrying an African, love eventually overcomes everything. Although their love was questioned on campus, they remained together.
After graduating, they enter society and face more challenges and resistance, but their relationship is still indestructible. When Zhu Lan's parents learned of this, they strongly objected and asked her to leave Li Kui. However, Juran was unwilling to give up the relationship and eventually ran away from home. Later, her parents learned that she was living with Li Kui, and when they saw Li Kui's care for Zhu Lan, they gradually accepted him.
In 2015, they tied the knot, and at the wedding, the two burst into tears and formed a happy family.
3. Challenges and changes on the road to business.
Li Kui opened a company and laid the foundation for his own ** career, but his slogan was disgusted by the Chinese. His original slogan was "Chengdu Colonial DJ Hip Hop Training", these five words not only insulted the people of Chengdu, Sichuan, but also disrespected all Chinese. He originally thought it was a fashionable slogan to develop more rappers under his influence.
However, netizens began to speculate about Li Kui's intentions, and some people thought that he looked down on Chinese and just came to China to make money. Although he repeatedly explained his original intentions and said that he loved Chinese culture, his apology and explanation failed to be understood by the public. Against the historical background of China's long history of aggression, people have a special sensitivity to the term "colony". Many people reported Li Kui and asked him to leave China, and the market supervision department also asked him to stop the company's operations. However, Li Kui did not give up, he tried to explain his mistake and apologize to the Chinese.
Eventually, his efforts were recognized and he regained people's support. He said on **: "I want to spread Chinese culture all over the world. This shift has won the support of more Chinese, and his career has been reaffirmed.
Li Kui's career path was full of hardships and challenges, but his talent and hard work allowed him to successfully gain a foothold in China. Although his inadvertent erroneous slogan hurt the feelings of the Chinese, his timely correction and sincere apology won people's understanding. Now, he has become a high-profile Internet celebrity star, and he is about to be published by a record company to take his career to the next level. In fact, we welcome more foreign friends to come to China for development, the stage of dreams knows no borders, as long as you are talented, you will be recognized. Li Kui's success inspires more young people who love the best and proves that folk talent knows no borders. The Internet is a place where dreams come true, but it is also not a place outside the law, and those with bad intentions cannot succeed.
