What if you could make money by playing video games? That is what Griffin Spikoski is doing. He’s a 15-year-old from the US. He has earned about $200,000 (about 1346,600 yuan) playing the game Fortnite.

Spikoski goes to school online in the morning. He spends his afternoons livestreaming (直播) his games and talking about them. He has more than 280,000 fans on different streaming sites (网站). Some people pay $ 4.99 a month to follow his channel (频道). In the evening, he puts videos of his games on YouTube, where he has more than 1 million fans.

But according to Spikoski, livestreaming is a hard job. “If I was in high school right now, it would be really hard,” he said. “I would have no energy (精力) to livestream, no energy to make videos.”

It’s not easy to stand out from other livestreamers. For one thing, you have to be really good at playing video games. For another, your videos have to be interesting, according to Spikoski. Spikoski won many fans after beating a professional (职业的) Fortnite player.

As William Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition. Recently, a new BBC documentary, which is aiming at introducing the beauty and fascination of traditional literature, was brought to the public.

It records the poet - Du Fu’s life experiences. Bom in 712, Du lived under the rule of die Tang Emperor Xuanzong (713-756) (唐玄宗统治时期) a golden time in the long history of China. However, as the An Lushan Rebellion (安史之乱) of 755 broke out, Du, had to take his family on the road as refugees (难民) and suffered a lot along the way. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing and about 1,500 poems have been kept over the ages. In these poems, he stated his worries for his country and people as well as the importance of celebrating the simple joys of life.

“Chinese people really value the recording of history and Du is better than anyone at doing that in his poems. Historical events are mirrored both in his own life and spiritual journey,” Zeng Xiangbo, a professor told China Daily.

Even though he never held a high position in the government, Du still cared about common people. For example, in the poem My Cottage Unroofed By Autumn Gales (《茅屋为秋风所破歌》), he wrote that “Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles, I’d house all scholars poor and make them beam with smiles.”

“That’s why he was honored as a Poet Sage (诗圣) by Chinese people. A difficult life and his spirit of caring about the world helped him create so many great works,” Shi Wenxue told the Global Times.
