21、The guqin is one of China’s oldest stringed instruments (弦乐器). It has a history of about 3000 years. Xu Chaoran, a guqin player, is famous for putting the guqin to modern use. She often uses the guqin to play some popular songs.

As a child, Xu took a great interest in music. She learned different kinds of musical instruments such as the guitar and the piano. At the age of 9, she began to play guzheng. That gave her a solid foundation (坚实的基础) for learning the guqin. In 2009, Xu went to study traditional Chinese music at the Wuhan Conservatory of Music. There she also spent a lot of time learning the guqin. After finishing her studies, Xu kept practicing her playing while giving guqin lessons at her teacher’s studio (工作室). Later, Xu opened a studio of her own.

Xu not only teaches the guqin but also makes videos (视频) of her playing guqin at her studio. In her videos, she often sits in beautiful places and plays guqin. She is good at playing modern songs using the guqin. “I do so because I believe that the guqin has strong power (能力).” Xu says, “The guqin isn’t just for playing traditional pieces. We can play today’s music on it, too.”

22、What do you want to do when you grow up? Have you ever thought about “flexible employment”(灵活就业)?

Flexible employment usually means one’s own businesses or part-time jobs. But it has become different because of the development of the Internet. According to the research, there are 200 million flexible workers in 2021 in China. More than 1.6 million people are working in jobs related to the Internet.

“My career began with flexible employment,” said Liu, a famous vlogger. After she finished college, Liu ran a channel on Bilibili, a video-sharing APP. Many people liked Liu’s videos a lot. So the attention gave her a chance to start a professional vlog team.

Like Liu, a growing number of young people are working as vloggers, network anchors(网络主播) and podcast hosts(播客). These jobs are new but getting popular.

“In this new era(时代), young people have more chances to find their own ways of life,” said Gao Yan, a professor from Beijing Normal University. “Doing flexible jobs doesn’t mean that they can’t find a job or that they are not serious about work.” She believes that flexible employment helps young people make a difference with their talents, strengths and interests, and inspires them to make their life better as long as they follow the law, Gao told People’s Daily.
