Chen Tao, who graduated from Sichuan University with a master's degree, had previously worked in the media industry for a period of time. However, after a failed attempt at entrepreneurship, he switched careers and became a delivery driver.
In March 2023, after numerous failed job applications, Chen Tao posted a self-narrated video on social media, identifying himself as "the delivery guy." He proudly mentioned his master's degree in philosophy from Sichuan University and his previous experience in internet and public relations jobs.
The video immediately caught the attention of countless netizens, making "38-year-old 985 master's graduate works as a delivery guy" a trending topic on Weibo at the time, unexpectedly propelling Chen Tao to fame.
Shortly thereafter, Chen Tao bid farewell to his delivery job and embarked on a new career path. He joked, "Don't underestimate delivery guys; perhaps in a few days, they might become your teachers."
Netizens congratulated him, believing that "talent will always shine," and encouraged him to continue striving for self-improvement and showcasing his brilliance.
