“手工耿”一本正经做“废品”狂吸粉已经火到国外！

　　Geng Shuai, 34, also ironically called “Edison” by his fans, broadcasts his work from his home studio in a village in Hebei province on a live-streaming app almost every day. With more than 2.5 million fans on the platform, Kuaishou, he is one of China’s latest live-stream celebrities.

　　34岁的耿帅被他的粉丝打趣地称为“无用爱迪生”，他几乎每天都在河北省一个村庄的家庭工作室播放他的作品。 他在快搜平台上有超过250万粉丝，是中国最近诞生的一位直播网红之一。

　　耿帅中学毕业后辍学，与父亲焊接管道并从事其他金属加工工作，今年秋天，当一些当地媒体对他进行了采访后，耿帅开始受到欢迎。他现已制作了各自装置，并录制视频一年多。

They bring novelty to your life, and these new things in everyday, boring life can make you happy,” he said.

　　他的其他发明包括一个66厘米长的大铁梳，一个用于街头吃串儿的装置，以及自制裤链划开报警器。 “我喜欢独特的东西。 他们为你的生活带来了新奇，而这些新奇的东西在无聊的日常生活中让你开心，”他说。
