How do you usually do the shopping? Do you go to the supermarket or shop online? Today, many Chinese love shopping through live-streaming.
Around the year of 2016, some Internet stars began selling products (产品) through live-streaming. The stars showed people the products, and told them what was so good about the products. If people liked the products, they would buy them in real time. This year, there are more than 520 million(百万) people watching live-streaming in China.
In August, Hainan TV Station and Alibaba Group started a project, The World 's Specialty, to sell products from all over the world. And its first show was on August 13th.
Ambassadors (大使) from five African countries were on the show. They brought people many different products from their own countries. During the show, the five ambassadors told a lot about the products. MOMO, an Internet star, also showed people how great the products were.
James Kimonyo from Rwanda, brought coffee and chili sauce(辣椒酱) to the show. He thought live-streaming was amazing. Before the show, he said," This is not my first time to take part in live-streaming. Every time I sell products through live-streaming, people buy them up in just a few minutes. I think it is very good for Africa. And it can help farmers in my country."
The show was very successful. In the future, the project will keep selling products with ambassadors from Japan, New Zealand, Thailand and many other countries.
