Dong Yuhui was a teacher at NewOriental, an English-language training organization. On June 9th 2022, he became a big hit online by sellingagricultural（农业的）products through live-streaming（直播). Agricultural products, like fruits and beef, are from plants or animals.
Unlike other live-streamers, Dong talked about what he would usually talk about in a classroom, both in Chinese as well as in English, before coming to the point. But his viewers just loved it.
"It's very good," someone said. "I feel like being in a classroom. " That every evening, sales from his live-streaming reached 15 million yuan ($2. 23 million), while his video was put on the daily hot list on popular short-video platform Douyin.
New Oriental is finally seeing hope after a year of struggle. It faced its biggest challenge after the Ministry of Education introduced a national policy banning (禁止)after-school training.
New Oriental finally found a way to overcome its difficulty: Selling agricultural products through live-streaming.
Its struggle should serve as an inspiration for other organizations that have been badly hit because of the new policy. In fact, several video-sharing apps are already planning to attract live-streamers for agricultural sales. By October 2021, at least one app had got 126, 000 "new farmers" born after 1995, who could clearly tell their viewer show they were growing fruits and vegetables and attracting more people to buy their products.

Tofu Culture in China
Tofu is a kind of Chinese food which is known around the world. The process of making tofu is easy. It is made from soybean, water and a coagulant(凝结剂). People coagulate soybean milk, and then press the resulting mixture into pieces.
Tofu is said to originate in the Western Han dynasty. At the time, Liu An, a grandson of Emperor Liu Bang, was thirsty for learning the magical art of living forever, so he went deep into a mountain to make magic pills(药丸). He failed in his efforts to produce the pills. Instead, he created a white and soft material with a pleasant smell. The brave local people tried the product, and found it delicious. And it was named "tofu". Liu An became an unexpected inventor of tofu, and his hometown, Shou County of Anhui Province, has been known as the "hometown of tofu".
Simple in production and cheap in cost, tofu soon became people's favorite food. After the Song dynasty, the culture of tofu spread even further. Many famous people also took part in spreading the culture. Su Dongpo, a great poet of the Northern Song dynasty, had a special liking for tofu and invented a tofu dish called Dongpo tofu. Poet Lu You of the Southern Song dynasty also recorded the preparation of tofu dishes in his work. More interesting is a record about tofu and Emperor Kangxi from the Qing dynasty. When in Suzhou on his tour to South China, Emperor Kangxi didn't give gold to his high officials, but tofu dishes.
As tofu culture has spread far and wide, people in different areas have continuously developed the recipes of tofu dishes according to their own tastes, such as Mapo tofu, stinky tofu. Simple though tofu is, it can be made into a table of Chinese dishes complete with beautiful colors, sweet smells, and delicious tastes.
Today, tofu and its related products have become common foods for Chinese people. It is a necessary dish on the dinner table during the Chinese lunar New Year, because it sounds like "福", the word for "good luck" in Chinese. Just as the saying goes, "Tofu, tofu, a mouthful of ‘Fu'".
