For years, people have read them to learn more. But now, more people love "watching" these classics in videos. According to a 2023 report released by the Chinese short-video platform Douyin, the views for book-related videos jumped by 65.17 percent year-on-year. "There are some classics that I am not interested in but required to read," said 14-year-old He Liyan from Jiangsu."So I usually watch a video about the book to find some interesting stories which can keep me reading." Some people also find classic books really long and hard to understand, so they go to loggers' explanations. "The loggers also add personal opinions to their explanations, making the book easier to understand," added He. A Dream of Red Mansions （ 《红楼梦》 ）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. "There are so many characters in the novel, which confused me a lot," said 12-year-old Shao Xinvan from Hubei. "The mind maps shown in the videos make their relationships clearer." While reading with videos helps many people, some express different opinions and worries. For Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old from Beijing, reading is a journey about forming a personal relationship with the text, not just 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.
