You may be familiar with an essay called Peach Blossom Shangri-la from your Chinese textbook. But do you really understand the meaning between the lines?
你或許在語文課本上讀到過《桃花源記》，但你真的理解這篇古文的意思嗎？

When Erer Suansuan (not her real name), now a postgraduate student studying radio and broadcasting at Peking University, first read the essay in high school, she didn’t think too much about it. “At that time, I was so overwhelmed by academic pressure that I didn’t have too much time and interest in exploring more about the beauty of literature.”
二二酸酸(網(wǎng)名，非本名)是北京大學(xué)新聞與傳播專業(yè)在讀的研究生，高中第一次讀到這篇文章時，她并沒有想太多?！爱?dāng)時我被學(xué)業(yè)壓得喘不過氣，沒有太多時間和興趣去進一步探索文學(xué)之美?！?/span>

However, she suddenly encountered it again one day in college. After furthering her studies, she realized that there is more than what she first saw in the 320-word text.
然而，大學(xué)里的一天，酸酸忽然又讀到《桃花源記》。進一步學(xué)習(xí)后，她意識到這篇320字的文本中所包含的東西，比她最初看到的要多。

For example, Suansuan found that three key images stand out. One is the peach blossom Shangri-la, which not only appears in Tao Yuanming’s essay but also in many poems, paintings and plays. Second goes to the fisherman in the text who doesn’t have a name, as he is a symbol of a special group of people, the hermits. Suansuan also compares the “cave heaven” in Taoism with the “Allegory of the Cave” by ancient Greek philosopher Plato.
例如，酸酸發(fā)現(xiàn)《桃花源記》中有三個突出的意象。一是“桃花”，不僅是陶淵明的文章，許多詩歌、繪畫和戲劇中也提到了桃花。二是“漁人”，文中沒有提到漁夫的名字，因為他是隱士這一特殊群體的象征。酸酸還將道教的“洞天”與古希臘哲學(xué)家柏拉圖的“洞穴之喻”相對比。

“People become mature when growing older, with their comprehension ability also improving,” Suansuan explained. She could now read the simple essay from a new prospective. It became much more fun and attractive to her. She now wants to share her thoughts on these essays in Chinese textbooks with more people – by making videos.
酸酸解釋道：“隨著年齡的增長，人們會變得成熟，理解能力也會提高?！爆F(xiàn)在她可以從新的角度來閱讀這篇簡單的文章，而這對她來說，也變得更有趣、更有吸引力了?，F(xiàn)在，酸酸想通過制作視頻，將她對語文課本中的這些文章的看法分享給更多人。

Before that, Suansuan would extensively read materials related to the essays. She also paints in her videos to make them easily understandable. For a 10-minute video, she may draw up to 80 drafts.
制作視頻之前，酸酸會廣泛閱讀與文章相關(guān)的資料。她還會在視頻中加入插畫，令其更容易理解。一段10分鐘的視頻，酸酸可能要繪制80張畫稿。

Starting in May 2019, she has made more than 50 videos. Seven are about the hidden stories behind texts in Chinese textbooks. The rest are about learning methods and other works of literature. These have earned her more than 1.5 million fans on Bilibili, many of whom are teenagers. They have left bullet comments and messages of thanks. They said she has made their school life more interesting.
從2019年5月開始，酸酸已經(jīng)制作了50多個視頻，其中7則講述了語文課本背后隱藏的故事，其余的視頻則是關(guān)于學(xué)習(xí)方法和其他文學(xué)作品。因為這些視頻，酸酸在嗶哩嗶哩上吸引了150余萬粉絲，許多粉絲還是青少年，他們發(fā)送彈幕，留下感謝的信息，稱酸酸讓他們的學(xué)校生活更有趣了。

Suansuan said the two things that bring her the most happiness are learning and creating. Making videos combines both. So she will keep going.
酸酸說，學(xué)習(xí)和創(chuàng)造是最讓她開心的兩件事，制作視頻正是將二者相結(jié)合，因此她會繼續(xù)下去。
