After graduation, "Mai Xiaodeng" has worked as editor, stall keeper, part-time teacher and food delivery courier. Taking advantage of her previous journalism major, "Mai Xiaodeng" began to shoot short videos to record daily life. In June this year, garlic planted in Niutun Town, Hua County City, Henan Province had no where to go.
