大家好，欢迎MaoMi Chinese。今天是MaoMi Chinese 的第十七集，利路修终于下班了。A Russian young man goes viral on a Chinese reality show。
利路修，现在几乎所有的中国年轻人都知道这个名字。他不是中国人，他是俄罗斯人。他在参加了一个中国的真人秀节目之后开始走红，很多很多中国的年轻人都很喜欢他。
利路修也不是他的真名字，只是他为了参加节目用的一个假名字。但是他当时没有想到自己会走红。走红go viral, something or someone gets really popular. 他当时没有想到这个名字会走红，会变得家喻户晓，家喻户晓，a Chinese idiom which means that someone or something is well known by every household.
利路修参加的真人秀节目叫“创造营2021”，Produce Camp 2021. 这是一个选秀节目。选秀节目is a type of reality show where audience can vote and pick the people they like and these people might become celebrities 利路修参加了一个叫“2021”的选秀节目。但是他参加这个节目也完全是一个意外。他很久以前来中国学中文。
后来当了中文老师。他原来不想参加节目，他原来是两个日本选手的中文老师。我们来听一听他是怎么说的，当时发生了什么。
利路修：“为了帮助两个朋友学汉语。导演看到我, 觉得我会说中文，然后我长得还可以。所以他们说你要不要来试试新的生活。”
我觉得立路修参加这个节目的原因很好笑。你们觉得呢？他说他本来是为了帮两个朋友学中文，但是导演看见他，觉得他长得还可以，所以问他想不想试一试新的生活。
想不想体验一下新的生活。所以他就参加了这个节目。但是他很快后悔了。我们来听一听利路修是怎么说的。
利路修：“天天唱歌跳舞，我现在真的很累。有点后悔。”
利路修说，他有点后悔，因为现在天天都要唱歌跳舞，他很累。其他人都希望观众给他们投票，只有利路修，希望观众不要给他投票。因为他想离开这个节目，他想回家。
利路修：“谢谢你们的支持啊，但是我觉得你们可以找别的方法支持我，因为我在这里真的很累，然后，你们把这个位置给我，我觉得……我不是唱歌跳舞，但是有别人想留下来，他们走了，这个有点不对。”
他说他的梦想不是唱歌跳舞，所以他不想留下来比赛。有很多人的梦想是唱歌跳舞，所以利路修希望其他人可以留下来，希望观众可以给他们投票。而且，利路修说，他在节目里很累很累。
利路修非常想结束工作，很想下班休息。他让我们想起了我们自己。我们在上班的时候也很想下班，很想结束工作，很想回家休息。所以呢，虽然利路修很想走，他很想离开节目，但是很多人很喜欢他，因为觉得他很真实。越来越多的人给利路修投票，于是他不得不留在节目更长的时间。
在短短的几个月之内，利路修有了很多很多的粉丝。粉丝，literally from English, fans.
利路修有了很多很多的粉丝，很多人都很喜欢他。但是，利路修对于自己的走红却很清醒。他是这样说的——
“确实有点压力。我们的想法不一样。为什么？因为从爱到恨只有一步。”
我觉得利路修说得非常好。他说，虽然自己有很多的粉丝，但是他有点压力，因为他的粉丝和他的想法可能会不一样。而且从喜欢到恨，只有一步。
上个星期，利路修参加的节目终于结束了，他也终于可以下班了。他在他的微博，一个中国的社交媒体上说: “谢谢大家的支持。我终于下班了。”
我们也希望利路修这位真实又清醒的中文老师，以后会越走越好，可以做他想做的事情。

谢谢你的收听。我们下个星期见。
大家好，欢迎MaoMi Chinese。今天是MaoMi Chinese 的第十七集，利路修终于下班了。A Russian young man goes viral on a Chinese reality show。
Lelush. Now almost every young Chinese knows this name. He is not Chinese. He is Russian. After he taking part in a Chinese reality show, he starts to go viral and loads of young Chinese like him.
Lelush is not his real name. It’s just a fake name he used to take part in the show. At that time he didn’t realize that he would go viral and become well-known by every household.
The reality show Lelush took part in is called ‘Produce Camp 2021’, which is a talent show. However, the reason he took part in this show was absolutely also an accident. Long time ago he came to China to learn Chinese and then became a Chinese teacher. He wouldn’t like to be part of the show and was the Chinese teacher of two Japanese candidates. Let’s listen to what he said and find out what happened at that time.
Lelush: “To help 2 friends with their Chinese. The director saw me and thought I could speak Chinese, and I don't look bad. So they asked ‘would you like to come to try a new life?’”
I think the reason he took part in the show is really funny. What do you guys think? He said he came to help 2 friends with their Chinese, but the director saw him and thought he could speak Chinese, and he looks pretty handsome. So they asked him if he would like to experience a new life. Therefore, he took part in it. But he soon regrets it. Let’s listen to what he said.
Lelush: “I have to sing and dance every day. I am really tired. Feel quite regretful.”
Lelush said he regretted it a bit because he had to sing and dance every day and he was very tired. Other people hoped that the audience would vote for them, but only Lelush hoped that people could vote him out because he wanted to leave the show and go home.
Lelush: “Thank you guys for your support, but I think you can find other ways to support me because I am really tired here. And then, you guys make to stay in this position, I think that…I am not a fan of singing and dancing but other people would like to stay. Now they’ve gone. This is not right.”
He said his dream is not about singing and dancing so he didn’t want to stay for the competition. Lots of people have the dream of it, so he hoped that other people can stay and the audience would vote for them. He also said that he was very tired in the show.
Lelush really wanted to be off work and rest. He reminded us of ourselves. When we are working we just want to be off work, get things done and go back home to rest. Therefore, although he wanted to leave the show, lots of people like him because they thought he was so real. More and more people voted for him, and he had to stay in the show for longer.
In a few months, he got millions of fans and lots of people like him. But he was very self-aware about himself going viral. He said that-
“Certainly it’s quite stressful. We (he and his fans) think in a different way. Why? Because there is only one between love and hatred.”
He said that there is only one step between love and hatred. Although lots of people love him today, one day if it did something different from people's expectation they might hate him because there is only one step between love and hatred.
Last week the show he took part in was finally finished and he was ultimately off work. On his Weibo, a Chinese social media, he said: “I appreciated everyone’s support and I can finally be off work.”
We hope that Lelush, a real and also self-aware Chinese teacher, will have a better and better life and be able to do what he wants to do.
That’s all about today. If you also like him, please feel free to leave your comments on our website.
Thanks for your listening and we will see each other again next week.
