After learning about the prospect of earning some money through livestreaming, Tian uploaded his first video on the Tencent-backed livestreaming startup Kuaishou in November 2016. His popularity rose rapidly after he uploaded videos of his daughter taking care of him.
"The video of my daughter feeding me porridge has more than 10,000 page views," he said, adding that a video of his daughter washing his face boosted the number of his followers by more than 10,000. He found that videos of his daughter were a hit.
In May 2017, he tried livestreaming for the first time, with only four to five viewers, mostly his relatives and the session lasted for less than 20 minutes.
