I have responded that university teachers who deliver takeout have been questioned for running 2000 orders per month
In a lecture in late August this year, Xing Bin, a teacher at the School of Literature at Linyi University in Shandong, shared his experience as a delivery man from December 2022 to January 2023. After the organizers of the lecture published Xing Bin's self narrative article online, it attracted the attention of netizens.
"In a month, I delivered over 2000 orders, contacted hundreds of merchants, and knocked on over 2000 doors. On average, I rode a motorcycle for 210 kilometers, walked 32000 steps, and climbed 110 floors every day."
The professional contrast between "university teacher" and "delivery rider" quickly made the incident popular, but Xing Bin mentioned in the article that he delivered more than 2000 orders a month, and some netizens questioned the authenticity of the number of orders delivered.
Xing Bin Experience Delivery Worker Work
Based on the experience of a seasoned rider, running 2000 orders per month can earn at least 20000 yuan. In a Baidu Tieba where a certain crowdsourcing rider gathered, a netizen analyzed that under the situation of "beginner+off peak running+part-time", the monthly data of running 2000 orders has exceeded the level of "single king". "I am an old rider, doing 50 orders in 12 hours, and he is a beginner, running 66 single days?"
The local food delivery website owner Wang provided a page for Xing Bin's order running records, with a total withdrawal of 4348.34 yuan.

A reporter from Southern Metropolis Daily interviewed Wang, the owner of a local food delivery station in Linyi. Wang told the reporter that Xing's experience of running orders was indeed true. The system page provided by Wang shows that Xing Bin has been running orders for a total of 29 days, a total of 365 orders, with an average daily order duration of 5 hours and a cumulative withdrawal amount of 4348.34 yuan. From the data, there is still a significant gap from 20000 yuan.
University teachers delivering takeout sparked heated discussions
Regarding the controversial "monthly sales of over 2000 orders", Xing Bin candidly told reporters from Nandu that "over 2000 orders" are not actuarial results. "What I mainly record is how many hours I worked today and how much money I earned."
Xing Bin explained that the over 2000 orders are not accurate statistics, but rather an estimate based on income deduction. In addition to the price of the orders themselves, income also includes platform rewards for running orders, weather subsidies, and so on. He stated that he has received many "small orders" and after a week of statistics, it was found that the unit price of each order is about 3.5 yuan. "If I earn 350 yuan, it's equivalent to running 100 orders," Xing Bin said. "If I receive a reward of 28 yuan today, it's equivalent to running 7 more orders." He also explained that the total number of orders for over 2000 orders includes multiple platforms such as Meituan and Hummingbird, not just a single platform.
Southern reporters also noticed that Xing Bin mentioned during a salon exchange that he had registered on multiple platforms to complete the experience, and explained the differences between the platforms.

After many riders saw the experience shared by Mr. Xing Bin, a netizen replied in Xing Bin's Tiktok video: "Professor Xing is just experiencing life, but my friends go to take out every day to support their families."
On August 31st, Xing Bin revealed in an interview with Beijing Youth Daily his original intention of choosing to work part-time as a food delivery worker - to inspire more literary inspiration through this job, and also to launch a food delivery experience program as a birthday gift for himself. According to the official website of Linyi University, Professor Xing Bin's main research direction is contemporary Chinese poetry, and he is responsible for teaching courses such as modern Chinese literature and contemporary Chinese literature.
