author: early release, from the title figure: “hello Mr. Tree” still shots

In China’s vast third- and fourth-tier cities, there is such a group of mysterious young men.

They looked at their flat heads and full faces, smooth and slippery. There are always one or two famous brands on her body. You must wear a sable with peasy shoes in winter, regardless of whether the sable is not required by his third brother-in-law, or the sable is purchased by someone in Haining. The cigarettes that came out of their pockets were good cigarettes, but they put on a disdain of “rare, take it”.

They always feel like they are usually busy, have a vast network, and their social circle is either rich or expensive. Ask you to call him for anything-it seems that WeChat and QQ have never been invented-the small world theory does not hold true for him, because judging from their walking posture, he can contact you without going through a middleman Secretary-General of the United Nations.

In the Northeast, people gave this group of people whose surface is completely inconsistent with the inner core, and “donkey dung eggs have a bright surface” an exclusive term: Jie Liuzi.

People are clear in their hearts that they don’t have a serious job, and they don’t have a huge social network. They ask you to say anything if you have something to do. It’s nothing more than to mix you with a pack of cigarettes and to nip your short meals. check. The people who let them take advantage of them always hold the mentality of “recognizing bad luck this time, don’t let him find me next time”, and disdain to care about him. Over time, he will become a cultural landmark of a certain area, a negative teaching material for children, and a snack for adults at the dinner table.

I don’t know when the street Liuzi culture became popular in short videos, and the emoji of Laihuazi appeared frequently when greeted on WeChat.

Brother Li, come to root in China

This man with large swollen eyes and leaning forward to hand people a cigarette is the one who initiated the recent street carnival, President Li.

Chairman Li has 1.4 million fans in Kuaishou, which is twice as much as the fourth of the phenomenon-level Internet celebrities from Northeast China. It is not impossible to try to exceed Zhu once’s 1.9 million. After all, his videos The number of views is extremely high, which is several times higher than that of an anchor of the same level as his fans. The minimum is two to three million, and videos with ten to twenty million views appear from time to time.

Before taking the Street Liuzi series, he had done many attempts. He played the role of a novice driver who had just received his driver’s license, a young man who talked in sleep and peeing his pants, and a mobile phone store manager who put films on customers’ mobile phones. But after all, there was no fire until the two series of President Li and Jie Liuzi appeared.

The title “President” refers to his self-styled “President of Food Useless Packaging Management Association”. Hearing to bluff people, it is actually broken.

Jie Liuzi is a further extension of the “chairman” role. Although Jie Liuzi never mentioned the “chairman”, the two characters share a common spiritual core:

Do the most trivial things and make the most of it.

“Drawing a Huazi” is the most intuitive embodiment of this spiritual core. Whenever Li Ge walks on the streets of Inner Mongolia, the fourth province of Northeast China, the people who take the initiative to greet him are his “little brothers.” Under Brother Li’s armpit, there is always a bag with intricate logos, with the mouth facing upwards, showingThe half-wrinkled Chinese cigarette case is the result of smoking when you meet an acquaintance and grabbing it.

Brother Li only smoked Zhonghua because he “smoked another cough” and always insisted not to call the name “Zhonghua”. His hospitality is to let people “pick a Chinese son”. If you refuse, he has to open his eyes and emphasize that this is a “Hua Zi”. When you really stretch out your hand to pick it up, Brother Li will actually withdraw his hand and urge you empathetically “Don’t smoke, you can’t afford it after you get used to it.”

He walked and pulled his hips, shaking his hips three times, every time he was asked by the little brother what he was doing, his answer was always “I’m fine, I’m walking around.”

This kind of okay, absolutely can’t be because there’s no work and doing nothing, it’s too bad. It must be a “nothing” to take a leisurely walk and do something big, such as “I’ll go to a good brother nearby to do something”, “I have a good brother, and contract a real estate nearby”, “This hotel is mine. It’s a big brother.”

Brother Li is either looking for a good elder brother, or on his way to a good eldest brother. It feels like Mr. Shi Yan is talking about Jiao Tong University. Norah will introduce a “director” status who doesn’t need anything behind. “Big Brother” is like an authoritative third-party strength evaluation agency, always given to others. A kind of intuition of “a good big brother is so capable, where can he go”-of course it is also an illusion, because no one has really seen who the “good big brother” is.

“Waiting for projects” is the most commonly used excuse for waiting for employment. Although he has to use three credit cards to buy a pair of big pants, and he has to cash out three yuan to take the bus, he can always calmly talk to his little brother. Saying “a project fund is going to be paid in these two days” makes people suddenly dream about his personal world. What kind of project is this? Where did this talk come from?

Of course it is not without answers. According to incomplete statistics, in the dozens of videos in his Street Liuzi series, Li Gegan’s biggest project was as a mason helping a family in the suburbs to build a toilet. The biggest project he got was a little stupid rural chicken.

President Lee’s accent is also very elegant. Street Liuzi is a term from the northeast, streetYou have to read “gai” to have an internal taste, which generally refers to the bustling business district in the Northeast.

Fortunately, people from the Northeast add a “zi” after what, to refer to an attitude. Like: “non-mainstream children”, “university leaks”, “worn toes”, “ground ruffians”, and the people who add “zi” are often the kind of people who don’t like the public in the northeast with half-eyeballs — yes, You can also use “Huazi”, which fully shows that Li Ge is tired of smoking this cigarette and doesn’t respect it. In the end, various clever combinations make Li Ge be regarded as authentic by netizens:

“I only watch this street slipper, watch other coughs”.

On every street, there are Liuzi

Jie Liuzi is actually not a new thing. Compared to redefining Li Ge, it is more like carrying forward, with neither invention nor reflection. It has different clones in different parts of the country, which may be Erliuzi, Blindliuzi, and dialects as the transfer. So even if you are not in the Northeast, even if you are only seeing President Li for the first time, it is not difficult to get a sense of substitution and think of one or two similar people around you.

They are “faced people”, small money looks down on it, big money can’t make money, and you can’t see how many real things they have done throughout the year.

Maybe he is your middle-aged second uncle who is still talking at the dinner table, or maybe he is a junior high school classmate you haven’t seen for many years. Including long before the name “Jie Liu Zi” was widely known, there had been a good “Jie Liu Zi” in film and television dramas, to set off the protagonist’s “reliability” and additional drama conflict.

The most famous is Fan Debiao in “Marshals”. He is so good at cooking, but he disdains to be a cook and has to be the bodyguard of the general manager.

He wears a skull T-shirt inside, and a black suit outside. The gold chain is thicker than his fingers. Under one person at the Victoria Entertainment City, the waiter and security guard respectfully shout “Biao Brother” when they see him. .

Brother Biao rents a bungalow and pretends to be big money; he has no longs, and pretends to be a “man of the Tao”, and utters fierceness to the air, but when he meets the real social brother, he makes people a few times It hit under the table.

Pan Daqing in “Sister Horse” is more gentle. He is more like Brother Li. He calls himself “President Pan” to the outside world. He is a business empire that is vast enough to be able to “pack Xiaomi”. But the neighbours have never seen him as a business student, let alone his car. They only remember that he has low blood sugar, and every time he crashes on the ground under the name of low blood sugar, he then naturally eats some street visits nearby. Supplementary supplement.

That is not a general supplement. I must pretend that I’m tired of eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and want to eat home-cooked dishes, so I always mention his “400 million project”.

Ji Chunsheng in “I Love My Home” is also involved. Old Beijing called such people “recumbent.” They lie in the corners of public areas such as corridors, underground passages, and concrete pipes when they have nothing to do. The dust is the companion of the prosperous world, so they are more knowledgeable and decent than ordinary beggars.

The time he was invited home by Ms. Peace, he compiled two personal experiences in just a few hours:

One is the inventor who invented high technology that can “turn water into oil”, and the next Nobel Prize “Who is it?”; the other is to oppose feudal arranged marriages and escape to Beijing to pursue freedom and progress youth.

There is a saying, “The first purpose of art is to reproduce reality”. Can be presented in large numbers in literary works, andAssigning very important plot weights is enough to explain the universality of the street Liuzi phenomenon in people’s daily lives. Otherwise, the mere understanding of the threshold is enough for this image to be eliminated seven or eight times by the current communication environment.

In a sense, this is also the most direct answer to why President Li can be hot. Because it’s really typical.

He played the “fake politeness” and “virtuality” on the street Liuzi so well, and people naturally put the “unknown fire” accumulated around him on him. Then he kindly “pretended to overturn the car” and showed everyone “braking his brains to justify himself on the edge of being dismantled.” It is too easy for people to get an indescribable sense of comfort.

Who in the world does not slouch

But do people really hate street sluts? This matter may have to be said otherwise.

At the very least, the street liuzi in the film and television works, almost without exception, are the popular characters in the show, the kind that can withstand the rush of time and the sand, can be the kind of memory.

For example, Ji Chunsheng’s Ge Youtan has appeared on the cover of various official accounts and WeChat avatars after more than 20 years. Few people care about his “villain” element. Fan Debiao was known as “the most ruthless man in northern Liaoning” at station B, thinking that he was an artifact against “unworthy of the world”, “has a scarce “anti-mourning character” in his body”-I don’t know what this term is. Who made it.

There is another feature I don’t know if you have noticed it: Although Jie Liuzi has no money and no right to do practical things, he is not necessarily from an underdeveloped area. The first-tier cities can’t reach it, but they rarely live in rural towns. Third- and fourth-tier cities are their main battlefields.

I don’t know whether this distribution feature has anything to do with people’s ambiguous attitude towards street liuzi.

SomeoneI think this is related to the human culture of small cities.

The ceilings of third- and fourth-tier cities can be touched by reaching out. Who is the top leader and whoever can do everything? The people who stay at home are clear in their hearts. However, it will not be as transparent as the folks in the countryside. Knowing who is good and whether it can be matched, there is always a veil of refusing to rest in between. No matter how rich it is, it may not be able to be handed out. Only by finding a reliable middleman as a guarantee, it is possible to let the “good people” get things done.

So it gave birth to a huge “relationship industry” that is similar to metaphysics and cannot be understood completely on their own, as well as a human relations commissioner who can mix and eat by operating the “relationship”.

Who can become the human relations commissioner, and what the real human relations commissioner does? It is a complicated topic, and we can figure it out if we have the opportunity.

Anyway, it’s certain that for those who don’t have a decent job and money, it’s hard to get enough respect from the layman in the secular framework, especially the neighborhoods are clear about your family background and resume. At that time, being a human relations broker who few people can tell, but few people dare to deny, is the most practical way for them to gain status and identity in a small city.

The sentence “So-and-so is my big brother” may be better than tens of thousands of dollars in a small city.

If you don’t know the real chapter, you don’t know if he knows him or not, but you’re afraid that you’ll really need to open your mouth to him. mode.

Of course, for the vague sense of identity of others, Jie Liu Zi occasionally pays something real.

In order to prove that a hot pot restaurant is really his elder brother’s, Brother Li bought a table with his little brother for dinner. He had no money in his pocket and forced to pay for it in installments; to prove that he really had a face, he bought QQ for the little brother for 1,800 yuan. , I bought a car insurance with a loan of 2,000 yuan.

The swollen face is filled with fat people, all to be worthy of the phrase that others call brother.
