不被看见的需要

小张辞职后做起了自媒体。有一天，她准备坐高铁，忽然想到可以录一段怎么坐高铁的视频。她拿出手机，面对镜头仔细地讲解着坐高铁的每一个步骤。没想到视频发布后，很多网友留言，说：“没有坐过高铁，真的很有用。”更让她惊讶的是，原来她的账号不到18万粉丝，发布这个视频两周后粉丝量就突破了百万，迅速“破圈”。
这么普通、日常的内容，怎么就火了呢？事实给出了答案。不仅有人想知道“如何坐高铁？”，还有人想知道“如何坐飞机？”“如何叫网约车？”“如何办护照？”等等。
因为年龄、地域、受教育程度不同，很多看起来很常识性的事情，就是有人不知道。一个人习以为常的每件小事，都可能是另一个人的生活盲区。看见不被看见的需要，不仅是对别人的一种帮助，而且也可能是你成功的机会。

In this week's Chillchat Baiwei and Karen discussed Karen's favorite kind of Chinese riddle - 歇后语 (xiē hòu yǔ). Besides explaining what it is, we also listed some fun examples to see how it works. As usual, it's a fun but challenging language game for Baiwei, but he enjoys it. Hope you guys enjoy it as well!
