2011年时，他是一个it工程师，经常和同事们一起彻夜加班;2013年，他毅然放弃了优厚的待遇，决绝地离开it行业，华丽转身成为一家水果店的老板。

　　selling fruit may not seem like a job that requires much skill – you purchase wholesale and sell in retail, and all you have to do is get the numbers right.

　　卖水果看起来似乎不像是一份有技术含量的工作——批发采购、然后拿去零售，而你所要做的就是算好帐。

　　but xu jia disagrees. the former technician, who earned a decent salary working for a beijing-based it group, believes fresh fruit is an even more promising industry than it. so the 27-year-old quit his job, becoming an online sensation: the geek who sells fruit.

　　但徐佳并不赞同这一看法。他曾是北京一家it公司的工程师，收入颇令人满意。在他看来，卖水果比做it更有前途。因此，27岁的他毅然选择辞职， 成为时下的网络红人——“it水果哥”。

　　but to xu, it is only a story where a young man does what he loves and becomes happily ever after, simple as this.

　　但对于徐佳而言，这只是一个讲述年轻人做自己喜欢的事，从此过上幸福生活的故事，仅此而已。

　　but how exactly did xu become an online sensation?

　　而究竟是什么使徐佳一夜之间成为网络红人?

　　one of his friends posted a photo comparison online. one photo is of xu as an it technician – with most of his hair having fallen out and looking pale; the other is of xu selling fruit – with sparkling eyes, his hair all grown back and most importantly, a happy look on his face. all of a sudden, the photo comparison went viral, appearing on micro blogs to major news portals.

　　他的朋友将一组对比照发到了网上。其中一张照片中，时任it工程师的徐佳头发稀少、面色苍白;而另一张照片中，化身为“水果哥”的徐佳神采奕奕、头发也长出来了，更重要的是，他的脸上洋溢着幸福之情。一时间，从微博到各大新闻门户，这组对比照引发网友疯传。
