The historical short videos Du Fei watched in his spare time somehow began livestreaming in real time in ancient times, becoming a wondrous bridge between the past and present.
Through these vivid, easy-to-follow videos, people of the past not only witnessed the sweeping tides and winding turns of history, but also glimpsed the splendor of modern society.
They couldn't help exclaiming:
"Even a dog has a better life than me!"
Many were also moved to reflect, dreaming that their descendants would soar like the great roc in such a prosperous age.
And the clip "When Li Shimin Transmigrated into Liu Shan"...
Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly. "The one I admire is His Majesty Li Er, the brilliant ruler in that video."
There was also the clip "Historical Figures Who Had the World on Easy Mode."
Wang Mang panicked. "Oh no, my identity as a transmigrator is exposed!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked utterly bewildered. "I struggled my whole life and made it on my own. How could anyone say I had it easy?"
Liu Xiu, meanwhile, looked relieved. "Wang Mang was a transmigrator? Good thing I'm the chosen one, favored by Heaven..."
As for the short-video series "A Chronological History of China," it had people of the past utterly enthralled, as if they had traveled through time to witness firsthand the glory and vicissitudes of five thousand years of Chinese history.
