① Classics are the gems(宝石) of the literary(文学的) world. For years, people have read
them to learn more. But now, more people love "watching" these classics in videos. According
to a 2023 survey reported by a Chinese short-video platform, the views for book-related videos
jumped by 65. 17 per cent year on year.
② Numbers of people get what they want by "watching" classics.
③ "There are some classics that I am not interested in but need to read," said 14-year-old
He Liyan from Jiangsu. "So I usually watch a video about the book to find out some interesting
stories which can keep me reading." Some people also find classic books really long and hard to
understand, so they go to vloggers' explanations.
④ "The vloggers also add personal opinions to their explanations, making the book easier
to understand," added He.
⑤ A Dream of Red Mansions is famous for showing Chinese society with interesting
characters and a poetic writing style. It talks about family, society and human nature. These
things can be fun to watch but boring and difficult to read.
⑥ "There are so many characters in the novel, which often makes me
confused," said 12-
year-old Shao Xinyao from Hubei. "The mind map shown in the videos makes their
relationships clear."
⑦ While reading with videos helps many people, some express different opinions and worries.
⑧ For Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old from Beijing, reading is a journey about forming a
personal relationship with the text, not just about learning information. "Books can let me imagine.
Although videos can help a lot, they can't show every part of a well-made story," he said.
⑨ 18-year-old Wang Hongjie from Sichuan agreed, saying, "It may weaken readers' ability
to read independently and think deeply."
