视频博主李子柒海外走红
video maker Li Ziqi impresses the world
Li Ziqi, a vlogger who enjoys a fan base of more than 21 million people on Sina Weibo and 7 million strong followers on YouTube, has made a name for herself in her videos that highlight a traditional Chinese way of life in the rural areas of Sichuan province. Her videos cover a wide variety of crafts related to traditional Chinese culture. From making paper and ink to weaving cloth, from making a silk quilt comforter for her grandmother to building her own bread kiln with blocks, nothing seems impossible with Li's crafty hands as they work their magic to bring these things into existence.
李子柒是一名视频博主,她在新浪微博上有2100多万粉丝,在YouTube上有700万粉丝,她以在视频中的四川乡村传统中国生活方式而出名。李子柒在视频中展示了各种中国传统文化手工艺,从造纸墨到织布,从为奶奶做蚕丝被到用砖块搭建面包窑,无所不能。李子柒的巧手似乎有魔力,让这些东西从无到有。
Yet on Friday, a question about her has become hot on micro blog: "Are Li Ziqi's works a kind of cultural export?" By 14:00, the reading count reached 470 million, with 36,000 discussions. Many argue that her videos are about daily life, and therefore she is not a symbol Chinese culture.
12月6日,关于“李子柒是不是文化输出”的讨论登上微博热搜。截至14时,阅读达4.7亿次,留言3.6万条。许多人认为她的视频记录的是日常生活,因此她不是中国文化的象征。
Her videos have little words or conversations, and at first they were without any English subtitles or English headlines, yet they appeal to English readers. That shows the charm of the Chinese culture in every detail of daily life.
她的视频里言辞不多,一开始没有英文字幕,也没有英文标题,但对英语观众来说很有吸引力。视频中日常生活的每一处细节都体现了中国文化的魅力。

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) on Monday banned Russia from major global sporting events in the next four years including the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and 2022 World Cup in Qatar after accusing Moscow of falsifying data from an anti-doping laboratory.

Under the sanctions, the Russian flag and anthem are also prohibited from being displayed at major events.
根据禁令规定,俄罗斯的国旗和国歌也不得在大型赛事中展示。
However, while the Russian flag cannot be present at events, Russian athletes can compete under a neutral flag if they are free of association with the doping scandal.

虽然俄罗斯国旗不能出现在比赛中,但与兴奋剂丑闻无关的俄罗斯运动员可以使用中立旗帜参赛。2018年韩国平昌冬奥会期间,有168名俄罗斯运动员持中立旗参赛。俄罗斯可在21天内对该禁令提出申诉。
