Creative vloggers(视频博主) are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu “back to life”. These videos have become popular, showing these ancient icons speaking in modern language.
In one video, Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-Shi Rebellion (755—763). In another, Ming Dynasty medical expert(专家) Li Shizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry(枸杞) water but still staying up late.
“These videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people. I didn’t know much about their stories before,” said Wang Jiayi, 15, from Shandong.
