The man behind 象小二讲车 is Li Wei, a 32-year former auto mechanic with 10+ years of hands-on experience. His story is what makes the account relatable:

Li Wei grew up in small town in Hubei, where his father was a taxi driver. As a kid, he’d spend weekends helping his dad fix the car learning the ins and outs of engines and brakes. At 18, he became an apprentice at a local garage called “Xianglong Garage”Dragon Elephant). For eight years, he watched customers get ripped off: a mother was charged 800 yuan for a simple oil change; a student paid 2000 yuan for a “broken engine” that was just a loose wire.

“I couldn’t stand it anymore,” Li says. “People trust mechanics, but some take advantage of their ignorance. I wanted to give ordinary people the knowledge to protect themselves.”

In 018, he quit the garage and started 象小二讲车 on Toutiao. The name “象小二” comes from his old garage nickname (Xianglong) and his role as the youngest apprentice (“Xiaoer” means “young guy”).
