"Every old person is a part of history," said Xu, adding that behind each big smile in the photos, the person may have experienced the stormy waves of life.

Xu has more than a million followers on his Douyin account and since it opened on April 13, there have been nearly 10 million likes on his videos.

Xu is good at casually talking to people on the street and he prepares a gift for each of the people in his pictures. Millet, eggs or pineapples are his first choices as presents.

"Sometimes my friends tell me that it's not worth paying for the gifts, but I believe what I did is out of happiness, and I want to make more of them feel happy," he said.
