In today’s digital age, the Internet seems to be an easy tool for many to make money, to the extent that it leaves them overwhelmed and unhesitatingly abandoning their current jobs, as evidenced by the story of a young girl in China below.
According to information published by World Of Buzz, citing details from Oriental Daily, a preschool teacher named Huang from Wuhan, Hubei suddenly became famous after a video of her singing and teaching a nursery rhyme went viral.
From the images shared on social media, Ms. Huang has a very youthful, beautiful face with fair skin and delicate features. Along with her sweet singing voice, Ms. Huang quickly “stole the hearts” of the online community, and the number of viewers for her video skyrocketed to over 100 million, with countless netizens becoming her fans.
In a short time, the beautiful girl gained over 4 million followers. Encouraged by her fans, Ms. Huang finally held her first livestream. Tens of thousands of fans eagerly watched this livestream, and every few seconds, someone gifted her.
Moved by the support and encouragement from her fans, the preschool teacher was emotional to the point of tears and thanked them for their affection.
“I am very happy and excited. I never expected to make so much money; from just one livestream, I earned more than 10 years of my preschool teacher salary. Thank you all,” Ms. Huang shared emotionally.
It is reported that the amount Ms. Huang earned during that livestream ranged from 400,000 to 500,000 Renminbi (equivalent to about 1.3 billion – 1.7 billion VND). Meanwhile, the monthly salary of a preschool teacher in Wuhan is about 3,000 Renminbi, which is approximately 10 million VND. Therefore, the amount earned from that livestream is equivalent to 10 years of working as a preschool teacher.
Because of this significant disparity, Ms. Huang decided to quit her job and switch to livestreaming. In just 3 livestreams, she earned approximately 2 million Renminbi (nearly 6.8 billion VND).
Regarding this story, many people said that if they were Ms. Huang, they would also quit their job to focus on livestreaming. Some believe that teacher salaries should be reconsidered to ensure a decent living for teachers and to avoid a “brain drain” that could affect the quality of education and students’ futures.
However, others argue that while making money online can indeed be easy, it is also precarious and comes with many risks. You can become famous overnight, but your reputation can also be destroyed just as quickly. If one does not manage their public image well, everything gained can quickly be lost.
