In the past, the success is defined by wealth and power in business. Zhang Chaoyang (founder of Sohu) and Ding Lei (founder of 163) are the 1st generation in the IT realm.

Conversations of consumers : Inspired by the campaign 鸭子蛋: There’s never an advertising which makes the audience have so strong response. I watched all 12 films. The central idea is fascinating. The society has been disappointing, and such films give us strength.
一只翅膀的熊: It’s actually an advertising, but without showing the product. It’s all about the stories from ordinary people, so it’s very touching for me. U can all find the whole films and watch them, the photograph and music are all from the best production.
阿三木君: Material possessions and spiritual wealth are like two wings of a bird, u can’t fly just with one. Me? I don’t have material possessions, spiritual?? I hope I still can fly. I saw rarely this kind of advertising, as a consumer I’ll consider buying Johnnie Walker. I hope more company in the future will use this way to promote, other than talking about commercial thing and money
I found out the all the comments in Caofei’s 菜生活 website are from people who have viewed his YULU film. This is the extra power of this Advertising
