Can an iron pestle really be ground into an embroidery needle? A short film creator in Shaanxi wanted to grind steel bars into needles, so he insisted on checking in at the river every day. He had done so for 2,268 days, and a deep pit was scraped out of the stone. It is reported that the steel bar is HRB400 rebar used in 90% of civil construction in mainland China. It is difficult to break even in earthquakes, but he has gradually sharpened the top, which made many netizens marvel.

According to reports from the Chinese media “Western Decision” and “Weather Network”, the man operated an account named “Li Bubai” on Douyin. As of the 9th, he had been grinding steel bars for 2,268 days, which is equivalent to more than 6 years. . Li Bubai calls himself Tian. He is 33 years old and is from Xi’an, Shaanxi Province. He is engaged in the delivery service industry and has been grinding needles since around 2018.

Li Bubai said that at first, he wanted to relieve stress in a simple and crude way, and every short video he posted received interesting messages. Reading the texts sent by netizens also made him forget the troubles and pressures in life. Sharpening acupuncture every day can also exercise your body. “Why not do something that makes you happy, so just keep sharpening it.”

However, Li Bubai also mentioned that the steel bars he had been grinding were suddenly lost but might not be found. Now they are all ground new, and the threads at the front end have been slowly smoothed. He even said bluntly, “I I believe that the emperor’s efforts will pay off, and I will continue to persevere, spread positive energy, and bring happiness to more people.”

In this regard, many netizens praised, “I watched his live broadcast in 2018, he is really perseverant” and “This perseverance is comparable to Kuafu chasing the sun”; and some insiders jumped out to introduce the origin of this steel bar, He said, “This earthquake keeps shaking” and “In the Song Dynasty, he was the father of the Dragon-Slaying Sword and the Yitian Sword.”
