Nowadays, lot of people go to a place not just because it's fun, but because it's a good place to take pictures, right?

Recently, The XieZilong Photography Museum in Changsha, Hunan province has become a popular place to visit. Hundreds of people line up to take photos every day, but the main attraction is not the museum, but the two security guards that take amazing, professional-level photos for the tourists.

Like a professional photographer, they are able to take high-quality pictures like this.

During National Day, he photographed nearly 300 tourists a day for up to five hours.

These free and good looking photos can instantly be viewed on weibo, Douyin hot search.

Cheng Qibing, the security guard, said:

"Now I take pictures of tourists as part of my job."

You may ask why the photo is so good. It is not an accident, but a result of experience, learning and exploration throughout the years.

At first, when tourists asked him to take pictures for them, he thought it would be easy. Just press the button and take pictures. But he was embarrassed to see the visitor looking a little disappointed.

Unwilling to see others unsatisfied, he decided to start learning photography. In addition to completing his daily work, he added another project to teach himself photography.

In addition to these two security guards, there are many people in ordinary positions that light our world.

Can you believe that the person behind these paintings is an ordinary cleaner who painted on the students' dormitory building blackboards?

Ms. Wu is a 43-year-old janitor who works for Nanjing University.

She never learned to draw; this is just something she really enjoyed doing.

She’s painted the board work of the campus from her childhood.

To make a living, she had to leave the campus to start working up until high school.

But even despite all the chaos we deal with in our world, she couldn’t find the will to stop pursuing her own passion.

This a beautiful blackboard newspaper. At first glance, you will think that this might be a professional painting.

Looking at these vivid lines and colorful imagery, students at Nanjing University can't help but share Miss Wu’s work on social media.

Although her work is very simple, she always remembers her persistent pursuit.

Five years ago, at the beginning of the school season, students in charge of drawing the board had not yet returned to school. Aunt Wu looked at the huge blackboard and remembered her painting dream, then she recommended herself to draw on the board. This trial made her responsible for all the blackboards since then. Aunt Wu gradually became a celebrity on campus.

Aunt Wu is responsible for the cleaning of a six-story student apartment at 7:30 every morning. The most onerous part of her job is on the sixth floor, carrying heavy garbage bags received from the first floor, yet Aunt Wu still takes out her lunch break painting board newspaper.

Before working as a cleaner, Aunt Wu had set up a street stall and sold vegetables. The pressure of life did not annihilate her dream.

This campus is the students' second home. With that in mind, Aunt Wu always strives to turn their second home into a beautiful and visually peaceful place.

The blackboard newspaper is on the first floor of the students’ apartment building.

Students go out when their parents are not around.

"If they're a little happy to see this, I'm happy too."

The first time she stood on the bench to draw, Aunt Wu wasn’t sure how the students would react upon seeing her painting. She only has a high school degree… Can she get the recognition of these higher educated students?

The students secretly made postcards of these beautiful pictures and hope to return all the income generated from their postcards over to Aunt Wu who they believe deserves it more than anyone else.

She said, "Because of painting, a lot of my work has been shared by other cleaners."

The splendor of life is not the moment when you realize your dream, but the process of holding on to it and working towards its fruition.
