Meet Zhan Yun, a female entrepreneur from the rural areas of the Chinese mainland who's racked up 720,000 followers on Douyin with her playful ostrich livestreams. Nicknamed "Tuo Feifei" (Flying Ostriches), she's turned a farmyard idea into a thriving online show.
Armed with two smartphones perched on sticks (held together by socks and elastic bands!), Yun holds up a head of cabbage to lure her curious ostriches on camera. As they crane their necks and peck away, viewers can't resist hitting the "Follow" button.
Thanks to her viral presence, Yun now produces about 5,000 ostrich-feather dusters per day to keep up with demand. It's proof that a dash of creativity and a sprinkle of humor can work wonders on social media 🌟.
But the impact goes beyond sales. This female-led, female-run enterprise has created 50 new jobs for local women, fueling rural revitalization and empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs in her community.
Zhan Yun's story shows how passion and digital savvy can reshape traditional farming. Whether you're a budding businessperson, a culture enthusiast, or just love a good origin story, her pecking-order hack is a reminder that innovation can hatch anywhere 🐦💼.
