新西兰全搜索新闻直播间，据中国国际广播电台报道，新西兰小伙子安柏然是一位知名视频博主，也是上海市“白玉兰纪念奖”的获得者。他用镜头讲述中国故事，锐评外媒的偏颇报道，收获了众多网友的点赞。在中国的十年里，他都经历了哪些故事，今天作为他们家乡的中文媒体，让我们来听安柏然讲述他遇见中国的故事。
柏然，不是所有的奖牌都需要用牙咬的，只有奥运金牌
Andy Boreham来自新西兰，中文名字叫安柏然，目前生活在上海，是一名媒体人。
“我在中国很多年了，我去过差不多60多个比较大的城市，这就是我了解中国、认识中国的一个方法。”
安柏然在中国生活了十年。最近这两年，他一直在制作、拍摄短视频，向世界，尤其是海外网友介绍他眼中真实、立体的中国。
“作为媒体人的基本素养，我觉得自己必须要做一些什么去辟谣和纠正。
“辟谣和纠正”是安柏然在采访中反复提到的词语。他说，某些西方媒体对中国的报道存在很严重的偏见。
“我小时候在电视上看到的中国，都是西方媒体镜头里的中国，很脏、很乱、很落后。”
然而，这种刻板印象在安柏然2009年第一次来中国旅游时就被彻底打破了。
“2009年，我从越南坐大巴车去广西南宁旅游，那是我第一次来中国。当我真的去了南宁，我就很惊讶，因为我觉得非常干净开阔，而且人民也特别友好。后来我又去了广州，非常开放文明热闹，真的很热闹。当时我的第一个反应就是我真的被西方媒体骗了。”
为什么眼前的中国和西方媒体里的呈现完全不一样？真正的中国到底是什么样子？怀抱着这些疑问，安柏然开始学习中文，并来到中国亲自寻找答案。随着对中国了解的深入，安柏然觉得自己必须得做些什么去讲讲自己的心里话。
2021年，他与同事一起组建了“绿眼睛Andy工作室”，拍摄制作视频讲述真实的中国故事，他们制作推出了系列短视频，对某些西方媒体抹黑中国的虚假报道做出有理有据的驳斥。
“虽然中国经济飞速发展，也通过奥运会、冬奥会展示了国家的风采，但是西方媒体对中国的一些负面报道并没有停止，经常用‘but体’，后面说一些中国很糟糕的新闻，大部分都是假新闻。‘but体’后面的那些负面新闻是什么，我们会用事实去反驳。”
为了拍摄和制作视频，安柏然走遍了中国很多地方。其中，新疆美丽的景色、安宁的环境和热情的人民给他留下的印象最为深刻。
“我当时在一个新疆的餐馆吃饭。当时我是一个人，但是我又特别想吃大盘鸡，所以我问老板有没有‘小盘鸡’，他们说可以给你做一个特别的。结果我发现这个‘小盘鸡’还是挺大的，我都吃不完，所以我就邀请老板一家和我一起吃，他们很开心。我们坐在一起聊天、拍照，这就是我的一个很好的新疆回忆。我感觉他们的生活很自由。”
在安柏然的镜头下，新疆是明媚而美好的。然而在有些西方媒体的镜头下，新疆却是另一番模样。安柏然说，他为此特意制作了一个对比视频。
“我自己去过新疆乌鲁木齐红山公园，就把这个经历制作成了对比的视频，一个是正常视频，还有一个故意做成阴天很暗的样子，也就是西方媒体总用的那种颜色。这样的对比一下就能看出西方媒体用滤镜的手法。”
安柏然的镜头还记录了中国的城市脉搏，分享了中国的发展成果。从《天津人真的爱吃狗不理包子么？》到《老外在农村做米酒》，从《洋记者探寻青岛的历史》到《南通有中国最大的海上风力发电厂》，等等。
今年5月29日，国产大型飞机C919正式投入到了东航上海虹桥飞成都天府的航线上，开始了常态化商业运行。安柏然有幸体验了首飞。他制作的首飞体验视频播放量已经突破了200万次，海外的平台播放量近25万次，海外平台网友留言破千。
“这次飞行真的是一次历史性的飞行，每个人都特别兴奋，登机前大家都在跟飞机合影。到成都之后我们都排队让机长在我们登机牌上签名了。虽然我是飞机上的一个老外，但是我真的为中国感到自豪。”
现在，安柏然每天都忙于更新他的短视频。他在社交媒体上的粉丝总数已经超过了200万，其中海外平台粉丝超过15万。很多海外网友希望通过他的视频看到不同于西方视角的、蓬勃发展的中国，了解更多在这片土地上发生的动人的、有意义的故事。
“其实现在越来越多的外国人主动来找我，说他们很关注我的账号，他们很希望了解事实真相，让他们有机会看到真实的世界和中国。”
安柏然也特别关心家乡新西兰和中国的友好合作关系。他说，自己曾与很多新西兰政商界人士交流，他们都认为，两国合作带来了实实在在的好处，也期待未来能在更广阔的空间开展合作。
“中国的发展速度和行动力都让我这个外国人感觉特别了不起。‘一带一路’连接了整个世界，所以我自己希望新西兰和中国要更密切、更友好。我觉得新西兰可以成为中国更值得信赖的伙伴，成为其他西方国家和中国之间重要的桥梁。”
安柏然最近在中国的街道上看到了家暴，然后进行了见义勇为的行动，我们将会让另外一个网红评论一下此事，请看下一篇文章。下面是他的推文：
困境？我刚从地铁出来回到我的公寓，看到男人和女人打架——显然是家暴事件。男人揪着女人的头发将她甩来甩去，周围的人都站着看着。 “你们叫警察吧”我对站在那里的年轻男女说道，他们就像角斗士战斗中的观众一样。 “哎呦不要是他们自己家的事情。”女孩回答道。 那个时候，那个家伙已经把那个女人压在了人行道上，他们认识的人正试图把他拉下来。我认为他至少踢了她的头一次。 就在那时，我走上前去，当着那个人的面说，如果他不放手，我就报警。所有四个人——包括那个女人——开始说同样的话：“别管它，我们会解决这个问题”等等。 我坚持自己的立场，他松开手，怒气冲冲地走开，那个女人追上他（通常都是这样，不是吗？） 现在我想知道我是否真的应该说些什么。我的意思是，如果是两个男人，我就会离开它，但我妈妈总是告诉我，男人永远不应该与这样的女人发生身体接触。 你怎么看？
According to China Radio International （CRI）, New Zealander Andy Boreham, known as An Biran in Chinese, is a renowned video blogger and the recipient of the “Magnolia Award” in Shanghai. He narrates stories about China through his lens, critiques biased reports from foreign media, and has garnered praise from numerous netizens. During his ten years in China, what experiences has he encountered? Today, as their hometown’s Chinese media, let us listen to Andy Boreham’s stories about encountering China.
Andy Boreham, hailing from New Zealand with the Chinese name An Biran, currently resides in Shanghai and works as a media professional.
“I’ve been in China for many years, visiting nearly 60 major cities. This is one way for me to understand and get to know China.”
Boreham has lived in China for ten years. In recent years, he has been producing and shooting short videos, introducing the real and multi-dimensional China to the world, especially to overseas audiences.
“As a media professional, I feel obligated to debunk and correct misinformation.”
“Debunking and correcting” are phrases Boreham repeatedly emphasizes in his interviews. He notes serious biases in the reporting of certain Western media outlets about China.
“The China I saw on TV during my childhood was the China portrayed by Western media: dirty, chaotic, and backward.”
However, this stereotype was shattered during Boreham’s first visit to China in 2009.
“In 2009, I traveled from Vietnam to Nanning, Guangxi by bus, which was my first time in China. I was pleasantly surprised by Nanning because it was very clean, spacious, and the people were very friendly. Later, I went to Guangzhou, which was vibrant and civilized. My first reaction was that I had been deceived by Western media.”
Why was the China he witnessed so different from the portrayal by Western media? What is the real China like? With these questions in mind, Boreham began learning Chinese and came to China to find the answers himself. As he delved deeper into understanding China, Boreham felt compelled to share his perspective.
In 2021, he and his colleagues established the “Green Eyes Andy Studio” to produce videos depicting real stories of China. They have released a series of short videos that refute false reports from certain Western media outlets by presenting evidence-based rebuttals.
“Despite China’s rapid economic development and its showcasing of national splendor through events like the Olympics and the Winter Olympics, some Western media continue to produce negative reports about China, often using a ‘but’ construction to follow up with negative news. Most of it is fake news. We refute these negative reports with facts.”
To shoot and produce videos, Boreham traveled extensively throughout China. Among the places he visited, the beautiful scenery, peaceful environment, and hospitable people of Xinjiang left the deepest impression on him.
“I was dining alone at a restaurant in Xinjiang. I wanted to eat a large portion of chicken but couldn’t finish it, so I asked if they had a smaller portion. They offered to make a special portion for me, which turned out to be still quite large. I couldn’t finish it, so I invited the owner’s family to join me. They were delighted. We sat together, chatted, and took photos. It’s one of my fondest memories of Xinjiang. I felt their lives were very free.”
Through Boreham’s lens, Xinjiang is vibrant and beautiful. However, in the lenses of some Western media, Xinjiang appears entirely different. Boreham intentionally created a comparative video.
“I visited Red Mountain Park in Urumqi, Xinjiang, and made a comparative video of my experience, one in normal lighting and the other intentionally darkened to mimic the color often used by Western media. Such a comparison highlights the filtering techniques used by Western media.”
Boreham’s lens also captures the pulse of Chinese cities and shares China’s development achievements. From “Do Tianjin People Really Love Eating Goubuli Baozi?” to “Foreigners Making Rice Wine in Rural Areas,” from “Foreign Journalists Exploring Qingdao’s History” to “Nantong’s Largest Offshore Wind Power Plant,” and more.
On May 29th of this year, the domestically-produced large aircraft C919 was officially put into regular commercial operation on the Shanghai Hongqiao-Chengdu Tianfu route. Boreham was fortunate to experience the maiden flight. The video of his first flight experience has surpassed 2 million views, with nearly 250,000 views on overseas platforms and over a thousand comments from overseas users.
“This flight was truly historic. Everyone was excited, and before boarding, everyone was taking photos with the plane. After arriving in Chengdu, we lined up to have the captain sign our boarding passes. Although I was a foreigner on the plane, I felt genuinely proud of China.”
Currently, Boreham is busy updating his short videos every day. He has over 2 million followers on social media, with over 150,000 followers on overseas platforms. Many overseas netizens hope to see a vibrant and developing China from a perspective different from the Western view and to learn more about the touching and meaningful stories happening in this land through his videos.
“More and more foreigners are actively seeking me out, saying they are very interested in my account and hoping to understand the truth. They want the opportunity to see the real world and China.”
Boreham also pays special attention to the friendly cooperation between his hometown, New Zealand, and China. He says he has communicated with many political and business figures in New Zealand, who all believe that cooperation between the two countries has brought tangible benefits and look forward to expanding cooperation in broader areas in the future.
“China’s speed of development and its action are remarkable to me as a foreigner. The Belt and Road Initiative connects the entire world, so I hope for closer and friendlier relations between New Zealand and China. I believe New Zealand can become a more reliable partner for China and serve as an important bridge between other Western countries and China.”
