A Bite of China, a food documentary series that hastriggered online shopping crazes for the various dishes shown in the program, has also bitten into the lives of the people it covered. One of those, Huang Guosheng, 59,is a farmer who makes and sells yellow steamed buns with his wife in Suide County, Shaanxi Province.
Following the airing of the documentary, he was approached by JiaGuolong, the owner of Xi Bei Northwest Dishes in Beijing.
Jia was hoping to convince the farmer to join his team and make his special buns for customers in his popular restaurant chain, which is characterized by cuisine from the northwestern Chinese countryside.
"I told Huang my idea. The farmer, simple andhonest as he seemed in the documentary, said he didn't really understand what I was doing, "Jia said.
"So I invited him to Beijing to visit the restaurant's outlets."
But an Internet buzz was raised soon. While some netizens said Jia made a smart move to promote his brand and help Huang lead a better life, others argued it was a clear publicity stunt and a commercial "abduction".
"I won't deny the publicity issue. Thedocumentary has been enormously popular and Huang has become more celebrated, "Jia said.
"But as a businessman, there is nothing wrong with grabbing a chance to boost my business," he said. Despite the publicity, Jia said that what really mattered was that his intentions were lOO-percent good.
"From the documentary, you can tell Huang's life is far from rich. He works hard and walks miles to the town to sell his steamed yellow buns, but his earnings are very limited," Jia said.
"I want him to have a better life. If there is a chance that could enable him to enhance his life by doing the same thing he used to do, why not take it,"Jia said.
Jia disagreed with the term" abduction" and  said Huang would make a decision for himself.
"To those who mentioned the word ‘abduction’, how do you know Huang doesn't want to change his life," Jia said.
