The sudden pandemic in 2020 has limited our outdoor activities. People’s daily life and expending habits have changed dramatically during the past two years. We that live in the post-pandemic era tend to know the society through smartphones, thus making short video streaming rooms a pathway to show talent. I created by the end of 2021, these streamers consist of a professor in the university, an actor, a truck driver, grassroots, a bodyguard, a small business owner, a food deliveryman, an intangible cultural handcrafter and a streamer for carrier pigeon matches. These works provide a perspective to observe the live streaming career. As the development of IT technology gives us broader room and freedom to choose from, streaming rooms become an epitome for Internet changes, personal success, productivity development and expenditure upgrade. Meanwhile, the ‘Fellowship’ which originates from streaming rooms also provides people with spiritual belongings. Our focus on their ‘stuff’ and living tools bear witness to the changes and development of our times. *Gao Zhixiao, deliveryman. Gao Zhixiao worked as a food deliveryman before he opened his own restaurant. It took him several years to raise the fund needed. However, his restaurant closed down due to the coronavirus pandemic, so that he had to go back to his previous job. Gao was once introduced in Time magazine. Gao usually opens his live-streaming room after 10 pm. Nevertheless, his schedule has not influenced his view counts badly. Most of his followers share the same occupation with him. The daily routines of Gao’s streaming are often delivery experience and funny things met in work, all of which come from his daily life. Apart from kitchen utensils, shoes make the most of Gao’s 'stuff' for they could be easily worn out at work. As for clothes, he does not need to buy any for himself since he is required to wear the uniform during daily delivery service.
