在接受中國日?qǐng)?bào)采訪時(shí),，柯克·阿佩蘭表示,，視頻能受到幾萬人的關(guān)注他也很意外。

對(duì)中國的固有偏見

2014年柯克·阿佩蘭與妻子搬到中國,。據(jù)他介紹,，自己是從2017年開始做視頻博主，“因?yàn)槲蚁胂蚺笥押图胰苏故疚以谥袊纳睢薄?/p>

親朋好友一直聽說中國是一個(gè)有共產(chǎn)主義政府的國家,，他們認(rèn)為很危險(xiǎn),。我想告訴他們這不是真的，但我失敗了,。

They had always heard that China was a place with a Communist government and they considered it dangerous. I tried telling them that this was just not true but I couldn't get them to understand. 

然后,，我想我可以給他們展現(xiàn)我所愛的中國、真正的中國,。我能想到的唯一辦法就是拍視頻,，讓他們能見我所見、聞我所聞,。

I thought then that I would show them the real China that I have grown to love and the only way I knew how to do this was to make videos so they could actually see what I see. 

通過視頻,，他們終于明白了，中國和他們的國家基本上是一樣的,。最大的區(qū)別就是文化,、食物、人民,、氣候和風(fēng)光了,。

This turned a lot of them to understand that China was basically the same as their country. The big difference was the culture, food, people, climate and the beauty of the country side.

自新冠肺炎疫情以來，柯克·阿佩蘭拍了一些關(guān)于新冠病毒的視頻,，他告訴中國日?qǐng)?bào)記者,，與疫情隨之而來的是對(duì)中國的污名化，“我試圖向大眾解釋,，這些政客和西方記者沒有告訴他們真相,。”

The rhetoric was being spread in the political circles in a number of countries and by mainstream media. I tried to explain to the masses that the truth was not being told to them by these politicians and journalists.
