What did Zhao Benshan do before he became famous?

Zhao Benshan is a peasant orphan who grew up eating a hundred meals on the black land in Northeast China. From the bottom to the top, in the process of "primitive accumulation of capital", in addition to efforts and opportunities, Zhao Benshan also gave full play to the peasant-style cunning. Many people still remember that before Zhao Benshan became famous, he often took advantage of every performance opportunity to take photos and sign autographs with the big-name stars at that time in the background and during the break. His passive and fearful appearance is a groupie. From the beginning of his career, Zhao Benshan knew how to improve himself by being a big shot. Even in the early 1990s, he successfully persuaded the director to host a variety show with Yang Lan, who was much more famous than him at that time. These little-known details were "ignored" after Zhao Benshan became famous, but you can imagine how much bitterness, helplessness and cynicism a peasant at the bottom has to go through to grow into a great artist.
