Xu has been working as a tour guide and vendor in Yangshuo, a county in southern China’s Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region since 1998, when the area became famous with foreigners and organized tours. Xu dropped out of junior school in the third grade. To make a living, she began to learn different languages in order to encourage more foreigners to buy things. Over the past twenty years, Xu has taught herself 11 foreign languages, including English, Spanish, Japanese and Korean. It makes her popular, and her excellent language skills have also made it easier for her to communicate with foreign tourists.
