12. Riding a horse at a high speed on grassland covered with snow while dressed in a red cloak(披風)and a white fur hat isn't something people would normally see a Chinese government official do.So it's not surprising that He Jiaolong,a female official from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region,almost instantly became an online celebrity after she posted such a video.
She came up with the idea to make the video when she was thinking about new ways to let more people know about the famous horse breed (品種) of Zhaosu County,Ili,known as "heavenly horses".
"I never expected the video to be such a hit.At first,I really didn't like to be called an online celebrity,because I never wanted to be one.But now I'm gradually getting used to using my influence to boost local development," she said.
Besides posting short videos,she has also been promoting local agricultural products and tourist resources via livestreaming(直播).With more followers,she can now help to sell local products worth more than 2 million yuan during a livestream while sales were only about 5,000 yuan each time when she first started to livestream on social media.
While she continues to draw the public's attention to Ili,she also has to keep dealing with the stress brought by criticism,especially often being questioned if being a social media celebrity may affect her work as an official.She said that she had even thought of giving up appearing on social media several times.
"I am,above all,a government official.I will never let what I do on social media affect my job," she said. "I want to see the locals appreciate my efforts in serving them,which is my duty.I hope people can feel the warmth and positive energy of Xinjiang officials via my videos.I am simply one of them."
