Live: How Did My Shoemaking Business Turn into a Strategic Resource?

Gu Cheng's livestream was exposed.

He was accused of pretending to be an inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of traditional shoemaking.

The famous fraud-exposing streamer Shu Xiaotong went straight to his door to call him out.

Shu Xiaotong: "Mr. Gu, our investigation shows you pretended to be an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage to attract viewers!"

Gu Cheng: "A thousand excuses can't compare to making one pair!"

The shoes were finished.

Holding them in his hands, Shu Xiaotong said, "Master Gu, I can't bring myself to wear them!"

Gu Cheng: "Shoes only show their value when they're on your feet. Put them on and take a few steps!"

After trying them on, Shu Xiaotong burst into tears:

"Oh my gosh! I've wasted nearly thirty years wearing shoes!"

Gu Cheng's "Quiet Craft" livestream became an overnight hit.

Most of his viewers were highly educated people from research institutes and R&D centers.

In the end,

his shoes became strategic resources.

And he became a national treasure.
