Steamed stuffed buns and education
This video was shot because it is rather unusual for people to promote the selling of steamed stuffed buns by playing the bamboo clapper, a traditional Chinese music instrument. The interviewee named Han Bin who graduated from the prestigious Tongji University in Shanghai chose to sell steamed stuffed buns with the hope of dealing with social challenges in an innovative way. When he started the small shop, only coffee was provided and the business was lackluster. After knowing that some customers wanted to get coffee and breakfast from the same shop, Han Bin decided to sell steamed stuffed buns at his shop, carrying the slogan “Coffee and Steamed Stuffed Buns, the New Perfect Match for Breakfast”. Meanwhile, he also played the bamboo clapper to attract customers, bringing happiness to them with his performance. In the interview, Han Bin admitted that his new promotion idea made a hit, many customers paying a special visit to his shop. He said he intended to eventually open a chain of coffee shops in downtown Shanghai. Han Bin was fully confident that, with what he had learned at the university, the future would be better if only he could insist on creativity and his dream.
