Leisurely Traveler with Check-in System

The cultural differences brought about by different civilizations between nations are far greater than people imagine.

After fully seeing Li Younan demonstrate the porcelain craftsmanship, those factors such as cultural differences and curiosity for new things reached their peak and led to an exploration mentality.

Within less than 72 hours after the release of the third episode, the search for ”porcelain” on the internet suddenly skyrocketed by several magnitudes.

On the largest foreign video platforms, the view counts, browsing volume, and likes for videos sharing porcelain-related culture suddenly increased.

Initially, the domestic market wasn’t aware of this sudden influx of traffic; it was a self-media account specializing in clipping comments from foreign video sites that first noticed it.

He unexpectedly found that after the third episode aired, many foreigners in the comments section actively learned about porcelain craftsmanship.

Especially when Li Younan said on the show, ”If anyone is interested in ceramics, you can visit several famous ceramic havens in China, such as Jingdezhen in Jiangxi, Cizhou in Hebei, Longquan in Zhejiang... all these places have ancient porcelain-making crafts,” and this sentence was completely broadcast, search volumes for keywords like ”Jiangxi Jingdezhen,” ”Hebei Cizhou,” and ”Zhejiang Longquan” increased dramatically.

If things had stopped here, it would have been just an inconspicuous phenomenon abroad, and wouldn’t have caused much of a ripple in the domestic discourse environment.

As is known, the heat of the internet passes quickly, and fragmented information might not keep someone’s attention for even 48 hours.

However, at this moment, whether by coincidence or other reasons, an English version of a documentary about porcelain that had previously been released suddenly aired on several major foreign TV stations.

This event itself became news.

Sophisticated citizens suddenly realized that this is the authorities keenly spotting the current hotspot and taking advantage of the opportunity to promote Chinese culture.

And when the story of foreigners actively searching and understanding Chinese porcelain became widely known through numerous self-media outlets, a strong sense of national pride surged in many people’s hearts.

The more absurd thing is yet to come—the program was originally just a foreign reality show, but on the evening after the foreign porcelain documentary aired, a news brief about Li Younan’s participation surprisingly appeared on CCTV’s ”News Broadcast.”

The title was ”Talking Porcelain Arts in Reality Shows: Chinese Traditional Porcelain Culture Attracts Overseas Attention.”

The CCTV anchor read the news script in a clear and enunciated manner.

”Recently, Chinese contestant Li Younan, in the program ’Alone in the Wilderness,’ under extreme survival conditions, used natural materials to restore traditional porcelain craft techniques, sparking a wave of overseas interest in Chinese porcelain culture. It exemplifies the lively journey of discovering value in traditional culture and promoting it worldwide.”

”The footage fully showcasing his process of selecting clay, washing and kneading, using crudely built wooden wheels to model clay forms, and stacking kilns with stones and burning deadwood to attempt low-temperature bisque firing was beautifully captured.”

”Within 72 hours of the third episode’s release, the search volumes for ’porcelain’ on overseas online platforms increased dramatically by several magnitudes, while the view counts, browsing volumes, and likes for videos sharing Chinese porcelain culture on foreign mainstream video platforms grew significantly.”

”This rise of overseas ’porcelain fever’ is a vivid demonstration: traditional culture is never just a heritage displayed in museums; the wisdom in crafts, aesthetic tastes, and cultural spirit it contains are valuable resources that can be explored and transformed.”

”When we actively discover value from tradition, interpret it through contemporary perspectives, and spread it using international language, those cultural symbols that have settled over thousands of years can be revitalized in the new era, becoming cultural bridges connecting China with the world, and injecting continuous vitality into telling Chinese stories well.”

Many in the internet self-media circles realized... this event thoroughly brought Li Younan into the spotlight.

But Li Younan, still in the wilderness, is unaware of all this.

At the moment, he is feeling somewhat helpless because his hunting exploration plan has suddenly been interrupted due to the rain that started falling in the past few days.
