I got a takeaway, I played the piano well, this little brother has a fire
The takeaway boy who is playing the piano in the mall is called Wang Lei.
Some time ago, because a video of himself playing the piano in the mall was posted on social networks, Wang Lei became a well-known takeaway boy in Suzhou.
Some people even went to the mall where he played the piano specially, waiting to hear him play the piano.
Takeaway Wang Lei: Actually, I am also nervous when there are too many people, and I cannot play well.
It's not that I want to sensationalize, sometimes it's also out of a love of piano.
After all, with my own ability, I still can't afford this kind of grand piano. Sometimes I come to play it to satisfy my wish.
The 33-year-old Wang Lei is born in Suqian, Jiangsu. He started working as a takeaway in Suzhou six years ago.
He often runs around this mall because there are many nearby businesses.
Once waiting for the order, the piano on display in the piano store in the mall attracted him.
Takeaway Wang Lei: It doesn't take long for this piano to be put on.
Just want to touch it, so I played two poems.
There was a staff member here before, and he said it was okay, you can come and play, it's okay.
Add some popularity to their music store.
Every time Wang Lei played the piano, the phone that took the order would rest on the piano.
Although beautiful notes flowed from his fingers, he always glanced at his mobile phone from time to time for fear of missing his order for food delivery.
Near the lunch peak, the order came in less than ten minutes.
Takeaway Wang Lei: No, I have to pick up the meal, it's too late.
Go upstairs and downstairs, get in the car and get off. In 20 minutes, Wang Lei has already picked up 4 orders.
He was already breathing hard as he walked, sweating in the cold weather.
Takeaway Wang Lei: 11 o'clock to 12:30, one and a half hours.
Normally, we should have a few orders in the midday peak.
On average, it takes about 10 orders an hour.
Can run about 40 kilometers at noon.
Reporter: I think you have been brushing?
Takeaway Wang Lei: I have to do it all the time, and leave me if I don’t do the “beautiful” list.
After two o'clock in the afternoon, the last order in hand was delivered.
Wang Lei intends to go home.
But before returning home, he went back to the mall, wanting to play a song before leaving.
Because he had been running singles, his hands were red with cold, and his fingers were a little hard and inflexible, so he rubbed it for a while before pressing the keys.
Work is not all, life with dreams is more colorful
To play the piano well, one must go through hard training.
Wang Lei first came into contact with the piano in 2009, so how did Wang Lei as a takeaway get to know the piano?
Around three o'clock in the afternoon every day.
Wang Lei will return to his rented home in Suzhou.
The small house has to accommodate three generations of grandparents, so there are many things in the house.
But even in the crowded room, Wang Lei still made room for his beloved electronic piano.
This is something he bought at a big price some time ago.
Takeaway Wang Lei: This piano is more than 4,300 yuan. My mother knows that it will be unhappy.
For my parents, you should make money. This old thought thinks that there is no need to play this thing. It feels like if you buy a piano and then spend so much money, you should work hard and don't engage in these bells and whistles all day.
Reporter: But for you, what do you think?
Takeaway Wang Lei: My life cannot be said to be all work.
Because I also want to live a little bit more color in my life, and I can't say that I have been making money. I always have people's ideals and dreams, and do what I want to do.
Wang Lei told us that he first came into the piano when he was in university in 2009.
Although I was studying science, my first girlfriend at the time was a preschool teacher, and she was the teacher of piano introduction.
Takeaway Wang Lei: I followed her in school and started studying, and then I gradually fell in love with the piano.
Because I like it better, and I haven't let it go.
As a takeaway and the father of a 6-year-old child, Wang Lei has very little time for the piano every day.
I have to run a takeaway at noon, and my son will go home at four o'clock in the afternoon to teach homework, and then go out for a takeaway after eight o'clock in the evening. He will not come back until more than two in the morning.
And only then, time belongs to him.
In order not to disturb the rest of his family, after returning home early every morning, he plugs in headphones for the keyboard and immerses himself in the notes.
That was the most relaxing hour of his day.
Takeaway Wang Lei: You are actually very tired when you come back from work.
Everyone has different ways of relaxing, and I just release this fatigue through playing the piano.
Because he loves piano, Wang Lei also teaches his son who has just entered primary school to practice piano.
However, it seems difficult for the little guy to settle down. Wang Lei didn't force it. He just hoped that his son would have a hobby.
Wang Lei has not participated in the piano grading test, nor did he want to use it as a professional skill. Even after his own video became popular on the Internet, he refused several invitations to let him engage in piano education.
Takeaway Wang Lei: I never said to plan it as a profession, because I think if it is used as a tool for making money, it may lose its flavor.
On the desk beside Wang Lei's bed, besides piano scores, there are most Japanese books.
Apart from piano, learning Japanese is his second hobby.
Takeaway Wang Lei: If people don’t have dreams or hobbies, aren’t they the same as salted fish?
I don't want to be that salted fish. I learn this thing to make my life more exciting.
Wang Lei let us see
The pursuit of dreams does not require grand feats
Actually, the dream is all around us
We only have to pay some persistence
Squeeze some bits and pieces
To have a better life
