Few students would relate studying law, or China’s National Judicial Examination for that matter, with interest or enjoyment. But Luo Xiang, 43, a criminal law professor at China University of Political Science and Law, is changing this perspective.
沒(méi)有幾個(gè)學(xué)生會(huì)將學(xué)法律或者諸如法考一類(lèi)的事情與有趣好玩聯(lián)系在一起。但現(xiàn)年43歲的中國(guó)政法大學(xué)刑法教授羅翔卻改變了這一觀點(diǎn)。

Luo has taken the internet by storm with more than 6.3 million followers on the video-sharing website Bilibili after only creating an account in early March. Among the 29 videos he has uploaded, his first video has been viewed over 8.4 million times.
今年三月初，羅翔在視頻分享網(wǎng)站嗶哩嗶哩上注冊(cè)了賬號(hào)，很快他便火遍全網(wǎng)，擁有超過(guò)630萬(wàn)粉絲。在他上傳的29個(gè)視頻中，首個(gè)視頻的播放量超過(guò)了840萬(wàn)次。

“It is beyond my expectations that so many students became interested in my class. Through the platform, I hope I can reach more students in teaching knowledge related to criminal law and help them better understand what the rule of law really is,” Luo said in the video.
“這么多同學(xué)對(duì)我的課感興趣出乎我的意料。通過(guò)這個(gè)平臺(tái)，我希望我能教授更多學(xué)生關(guān)于刑法的知識(shí)，幫助他們更好地理解什么是法治，”羅翔在視頻中如此說(shuō)道。

The secret to his popularity could be explained by his creative storytelling and deadpan humor.
羅翔爆火的秘訣或許就在于其富有創(chuàng)造性的講解以及不動(dòng)聲色的幽默。

Wearing a pair of glasses and a suit, Luo often starts his class with a story or a case to explain legal terms. Behind the “funny” cases, his class is always inspirational, stirring discussion about law and ethics, according to China Daily.
一件西裝、一副眼鏡，羅翔每每以一個(gè)解釋法律條文的故事或者案例作為課堂的開(kāi)場(chǎng)白。據(jù)《中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)》報(bào)道，在這些“搞笑”案例的背后，他的課堂總是給人啟發(fā)，激發(fā)關(guān)于法律和道德的討論。

He frequently gives examples by assuming that Zhang San, part of a regular cast of fictional characters in his courses, committed crimes in various cases, such as poisoning people, robbing people and borrowing money from loan sharks.
他常常會(huì)在課堂上假設(shè)張三 —— 一個(gè)他在課堂上常用的虛擬人名 —— 在各種各樣的案例中犯罪，比如投毒、搶劫以及借高利貸。

However, Luo remains serious about the study of law. It “should be serious, not entertaining”, Luo posted on his Sina Weibo account.
但羅翔依然對(duì)法律研究持嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)態(tài)度。這“應(yīng)該嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)，不應(yīng)娛樂(lè)化”，羅翔在新浪微博上寫(xiě)道。

“Although the jokes may be what reel viewers in, Luo’s lasting appeal lies in the reverence with which he treats legal matters, as well as ethics and public welfare,” The Six Tone noted.
“盡管這些笑料或許吸引了觀眾，但羅翔持久的吸引力卻在于對(duì)法律工作、道德以及公益的敬畏，”“第六聲”網(wǎng)站指出。
