When Leon Lv was looking for somewhere to travel last year, she turned to the Chinese social media app RedNote for ideas. The algorithm(算法) took her to videos of people struggling to survive typhoon-strength winds(台风级强风) and flash floods(山洪,突发洪水).
去年,Leon Lv 在寻找旅行目的地时,打开中国社交媒体应用小红书寻找灵感。算法把她引向了一些视频,画面中人们正在狂风暴雨和山洪中挣扎求生。
“I never experience(经历,体验)d a typhoon. I don’t know how it will feel and what will happen. I just have seen it on the news,” says the 28-year-old from Chongqing in south-west China. “So that’s why I want to go there to have a safe place to experience it and learn something.”
“我从没经历过台风,不知道那是什么感觉、会发生什么。我只是在新闻里见过。”这位来自中国西南部重庆的28岁姑娘说,“所以我想去那里,在一个安全的地方体验一下,学点东西。”
She travelled more than 1,300km to Hangzhou in the east, and joined a group of 20 to take part in a disaster simulation that featured a typhoon-fuelled flooding scenario.(她跋涉1300多公里来到东部的杭州,加入一个20人的团队,参加了一场以台风引发的洪水为场景的灾难模拟体验。)
