His poetry collection, titled Low Flight, describes the everyday challenges of delivery workers. Wang is 56 years old and has been a delivery rider since 2019. He gained popularity on social media for his poems about the tough lives of blue-collar workers.

He enjoys the work and believes it keeps him healthy. Even though he has won the award and gained media attention, he wants to keep a simple life and focus on his poetry.
