Trends come and go as time flies. You may know what's trendy now, but what about the fashionable costumes or makeup of the an- cient times? You may get some clues from the videos produced by Zhu Ruoxuan, who was named one of the top 100 content creators in January by Bilibili, a leading video-sharing plat- form in China.
Born in 1998, Zhu began sharing her life through videos on Bilibili in 2019 under the moniker \"DuoduoHualin\", initially focusing on videos that show popular makeup from the ancient China to modern time. It wasn't until 2021 that she gained widespread attention thanks to a video depicting the evolution of the ordinary Chinese woman's appearance and mindset from the 1920s to the 2020s.
In the video, she also imitated the facial ex- pressions of women from different time peri- ods, capturing their uncertainty in the 1920s, their helplessness during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), and their confidence as female workers in the 1950s after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
隨著時(shí)間的推移,潮流也在變化。你也許知道現(xiàn)在的潮流趨勢(shì),但是曾經(jīng)的時(shí)裝和潮流妝容是什么呢?也許你能從朱若萱的視頻中找到線索。國(guó)內(nèi)大型視頻分享平臺(tái)嗶哩嗶哩(B站),一月將朱若萱評(píng)為百大內(nèi)容創(chuàng)作者。
朱若萱生于1998年,從2019年開(kāi)始以“朵朵花林”為名在B站分享她的生活視頻,最初視頻聚焦于展現(xiàn)中國(guó)從古至今女性的妝容。直到2021年,她發(fā)布的描繪中國(guó)女性從1920年代到2020年代外表和心態(tài)變遷的視頻走紅,朱若萱因此獲得了大量關(guān)注。
在視頻中,她模仿了不同歷史時(shí)期女性的面部表情,捕捉了她們?cè)?920年代的不安;她們?cè)诳谷諔?zhàn)爭(zhēng)時(shí)期的無(wú)助,以及她們?cè)谥腥A人民共和國(guó)成立之后作為女性工作者的自信。
Despite a lack of formal acting training, Zhu studied women in old photos and movies to imitate their expressions, striving for accuracy. Over time, Zhu's videos shifted to an even great- er focus on women, exploring other changes in women's images from the past to the present.
Since last year, Zhu has started paying more attention to current social phenomena and the issues women face. \"I think it's a neces- sary growth both for myself and my creation,\" she said.
One of Zhu's productions from last year highlights the transformation of Chinese wom- en's hairstyles. At the end of the video, she de- picted a character with pink hair, inspired by Zheng Linghua, a 23-year-old who faced cyber- bullying due to her hairstyle and tragically end- ed her life while battling depression in January 2023.
\"I want everyone to see that online vio- lence can be fatal. \"Zhu said.
Zhu's recent videos demonstrate a more compassionate approach toward women in his- torical periods. For instance, she released anan- ti-war video on Dec 13, the annual National Memorial Day for Victims of the Nanjing Mas- sacre, portraying the transformation of an ordi- nary Chinese woman before and after the mas- sacre. This video, which took two months to create, drew inspiration from Iris Chang's book The Rape of Nanking, in which women cut their hair short to disguise themselves as men during the war.
雖然沒(méi)有接受過(guò)正規(guī)的表演訓(xùn)練,朱若萱就從老照片和老電影中學(xué)習(xí)女性的表情,力爭(zhēng)準(zhǔn)確還原。時(shí)間一長(zhǎng),她的視頻更加聚焦于女性,探索女性從過(guò)去到現(xiàn)在的形象。
自從去年開(kāi)始,朱若萱開(kāi)始更加關(guān)注當(dāng)前女性面對(duì)的社會(huì)現(xiàn)象和問(wèn)題。她說(shuō):“我認(rèn)為這對(duì)我自身的成長(zhǎng)和創(chuàng)作水平的提高都有必要?!?/p>
去年,朱若萱的創(chuàng)作突出中國(guó)女性發(fā)型的變遷。在視頻結(jié)尾,她塑造了一個(gè)粉色頭發(fā)的角色。這個(gè)角色是受到了鄭靈華的啟發(fā)。鄭靈華因?yàn)樗陌l(fā)色而遭受網(wǎng)絡(luò)暴力,并于2023年1月因抑郁癥悲慘地結(jié)束了自己的生命,時(shí)年23歲。
朱若萱稱:“我希望每個(gè)人都能看到,網(wǎng)絡(luò)暴力足以致命。”
最近的視頻中,朱若萱展現(xiàn)了對(duì)特殊歷史時(shí)期女性遭遇的同情。比如,在12月13日南京大屠殺死難者國(guó)家公祭日之際,她發(fā)布了一則反戰(zhàn)視頻,闡述了一位普通中國(guó)女性在大屠殺前后的轉(zhuǎn)變。這條視頻受到張純?nèi)绲闹鳌赌暇┐笸罋ⅰ返膯l(fā),耗時(shí)兩個(gè)月創(chuàng)作完成。書中描述到為了躲避日軍暴行,女性不得不剪短發(fā),扮成男性。
