Guo Youcai originally sold barbecue in Heze, Shandong, before becoming famous through live-streaming songs. Driven by capital, he started a company and invited Angie Chiu to support him. By September 11, 2025, less than two years later, he was reported to have lost all his savings and incurred debts, returning to the old platform of the South Station of Heze Railway Station in Shandong Province to continue selling barbecue. Unlike his previous efforts to increase income, his purpose for returning to the barbecue business has shifted to paying off his debts as quickly as possible.
