Have you ever heard of Li Ziqi? She is 【小题1】 famous vlogger living in a village in Sichuan, China. Her videos 【小题2】 (be) popular among people around the world. In her videos, Li makes everything, from paper to cloth, dresses and even a sofa, with her own hands.

Professor Li Jinzhao from Beijing Foreign Studies University spoke 【小题3】 (high) of her videos. She thought the videos were 【小题4】 (relax) to her audience. “It is really resting 【小题5】 (watch) her making things,” she 【小题6】 (add).

Many people want to know 【小题7】 Li Ziqi is so popular. Professor Li explained that people 【小题8】 live in modern life feel anxious about the world and they want to live a quiet and 【小题9】 (nature) life. “What Li shows in her videos provides an interesting and creative way to look at ordinary life in villages. We should learn from her positive attitude 【小题10】 life,” Professor Li said.

Ge Zhichen’s livestreams on Tiktok have attracted thousands of viewers to learn about Suzhou Pingtan, 【小题1】 traditional storytelling and music art form. Ge is a 26-year-old inheritor (传承人) of Pingtan.

【小题2】 (originate) in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Suzhou Pingtan is performed in the Wu dialect popular in the Jiangnan region. In 2006, Suzhou Pingtan 【小题3】 (list) as a national intangible cultural heritage.   

Ge never considered becoming an inheritor in his childhood. “When I was 16, my father used a white lie to trick me 【小题4】 attending a Pingtan school, 【小题5】I gradually became fascinated by Pingtan,” he said. Pingtan faces a unique challenge: being understood. “The Wu dialect makes Pingtan stand out but also makes it inaccessible to a wider audience,” Ge said.

“Since I can’t change the Wu dialect, I start by singing and then【小题6】(careful) explain each part, guiding people【小题7】 (develop) an interest in Pingtan.”

This approach worked. Compared to offline 【小题8】 (perform) that only receive around 100 people, Ge’s livestreams 【小题9】 (see) up to 20, 000 viewers so far.

Ge believes that another problem with Pingtan is the lack 【小题10】a “hit.” He is currently creating his own original Pingtan songs. “I’m trying to combine well-known stories to create a ‘hit’ that keeps classic charm while appealing to young people.”

Bai Xuesong, the host of Xi’an Beilin Museum’s live-streaming event on Sunday, received more than 1.75 million “likes”. Avoiding boring description while introducing exhibits, his humorous tone and funny stories won the 【小题7】(heart)of his audience. Instead of being laid aside and 【小题8】(ignore), cultural heritage should 【小题9】(rich)the public’s knowledge and expand their outlook. The live-streaming events during the outbreak of COVID-19 are 【小题10】 step forward in achieving that goal.
