Setting sail: from an original intention to contribute
During the Spring Festival of 2016, Pingdi took his whole family back to his wife’s hometown, a remote mountain village in Jishui County, Jiangxi Province, to celebrate the New Year. There, Pingdi found that many children were left-behind children who relied on their grandparents to take care of them for their study and life. However, most of the elderly can only take care of basic food and accommodation, and are unable to provide more learning and entertainment methods for children. Seeing their boring and interesting holiday life, Pingdi couldn’t help but think of the parent-child time that he and his eldest daughter spent together. Since the birth of his daughter Doudou in 2012, Pingdi has been telling her stories every night. Telling stories to children has become a “compulsory course” every day in Pingdi.
So in those few days, Pingdi turned the reading activity with my daughter into A children’s story session with this group of children. The children of Jishui were extremely happy, and laughter and laughter filled Pingdi’s ears every day. Looking at the children, Pingdi couldn’t help but think, wait until he leaves, what to do with these children? Who will tell them stories? Who will continue to accompany them? So Pingdi decided to open a public storytelling platform and move the good stories he told his daughter online so that more children could get a warm companionship. Under the guidance of this original intention, “Doudou Dad Storytelling” was born. It is this original intention that has supported Pingdi through nearly two thousand nights of lovingly preaching to children.
persistence: with perseverance
“For 365 nights, Doudou Dad told stories every night.” This loud and beautiful sound is the ending of each story of Doudou Dad, and it is also Pingdi’s contribution to the children. Promise. Since 2016, Pingdi has purchased more than 3,000 children’s storybooks, carefully selecting good stories that can help cultivate children’s habits, enrich children’s emotions, improve children’s personality, and cultivate children’s character to ensure that children can Learn something by listening. As the narrator of the story, Pingdi not only has to be familiar with the internal events of the story, but also has to study the image and characteristics of the characters in the story, and create different characters through changes in voice, tone, intonation, and speaking speed in the story context. Character abstract.
In the past 7 years, I have encountered various difficulties: sometimes I need to work overtime. Or when you are on a business trip, you usually find a way to record the story in advance and publish it on time. Sometimes I feel unwell and have a cold or cough, so I usually record and adjust each sentence over and over again, even if it takes several times the time. Once he had a high fever of nearly 40 degrees, and Pingdi struggled to keep up and complete the day’s recording. Sometimes Pingdi would ask himself: “Is it really necessary to persist like this?” But when he thought of those expectant eyes and those happy faces who fell asleep peacefully following the story, his belief became even stronger.
For the past 7 years, Pingtian has been fulfilling its promise of “daily stories” for children with practical actions. As time goes by, the program is getting better and better, and more and more young listeners are attracted.” Pingdi affectionately called them “Little Bibs” on “Doudou Dad Storytelling”. Starting from the second half of 2017, in order to further enrich the content of the program, Pingdi added leadership questions at the beginning of each story. The quiz section is added to make the program more interactive and encourage children to “listen and think” and “listen and gain”. Pingdi also adds a little knowledge about traditional Chinese culture, ecological environmental protection and other aspects to each story. , to expand children’s knowledge, and more than 1,000 pieces of common knowledge have been broadcast every day. In addition, in order to guide children to read more classics and inspire wisdom, Pingdi also launched “Doudou Dad Reading Ancient Prose – Li Weng”. Excellent traditional cultural columns such as “Double Rhyme” and “Doudou Dad Reads Ancient Prose – One Hundred Most Beautiful Ancient Poems in China” have been widely praised on relevant platforms, with more than 50,000 views per day. The capacity of the program has increased, but the confidence to maintain has never been the same. Not shaken, overtime, business trips, illness… have not stopped Pingdi’s “story feeding” and “classic infiltration”.
