With Bambi eyes and a bright smile, 20-year-old Tibetan herdsman Ding Zhen became the latest internet celebrity after a video clip and photos featuring his handsome face went viral online.
20歲的西藏牧民丁真長著小鹿斑比的眼睛，面帶燦爛的笑容。他英俊臉龐的視頻和照片在網上瘋傳，成為了新晉網紅。
Ding Zhen was spotted and videotaped by a photographer in his hometown in Litang County, Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Garze, southwest China's Sichuan Province. The seven-second video garnered nearly 3 million 『likes』 on Douyin, the Chinese version of video-sharing platform TikTok, in less than three weeks.
在中國西南部四川省甘孜藏族自治州理塘縣，一名攝影師發現了丁真，並將其拍攝下來。在不到三周的時間裡，這段時長7秒的視頻在抖音上獲得了近300萬個「贊」。
Being 『wild, sweet and pure,』 as his fans described, Ding Zhen stands out from most internet celebrities for his innocence, the traditional Tibetan costumes he wears and the breathtaking views of his hometown in the background of the videos.
他天真純樸、穿著藏族傳統服飾，以及視頻背景中家鄉震撼人心的景色，讓丁真在大多數網紅中脫穎而出，粉絲們形容他「野性、甜美、純潔」。
Sensing Ding Zhen's soaring popularity, the local government invited him to be the tourism ambassador of Litang County just days after his first video went viral. He was also hired by a local culture and tourism promotion company for a monthly salary of 3,500 yuan (about 532 U.S. dollars).
丁真的第一個視頻在網上瘋傳幾天之後，當地政府意識到丁真的躥紅並邀請他擔任理塘縣的旅遊形象大使。他還被當地一家文化和旅遊推廣公司僱傭，月薪3500元(約532美元)。
Dubbed 『the city in the sky,』 Litang is located over 4,000 meters above sea level and 654 km from Chengdu, the provincial capital. In the Tibetan language, Litang means 『flat grasslands like bronze mirrors.』 The county, with a population of some 73,000, just shook off poverty in February. Compared with its neighboring Daocheng County,Litang's tourism has not been robust, though its views are no less impressive, according to local authorities. Ding Zhen's overnight fame gives the local government a boost to develop local tourism.
理塘被稱為「空中之城」，海拔超過4000米，距離四川省會成都654公裡。在藏語中，理塘的意思是「像銅鏡一樣平坦的草原」。這個擁有73000人口的縣，剛剛在2月份擺脫了貧困。據當地政府稱，與鄰近的稻城縣相比，理塘的景觀並不遜色，但旅遊業並不興旺。丁真的一夜成名推動了當地政府發展當地旅遊業。
With his new title, Ding Zhen appeared in a three-minute promotional video that came out last week in which he showed audiences his life of herding yaks beside the snowy Geyen Mountain, racing horses in endless meadows, praying in temples and singing love songs with his friends around a bonfire.
上周，丁真以他的新名字出現在了一段三分鐘的宣傳視頻中。在視頻中，他向觀眾展示了他在雪山邊牧牛，在無邊無際的草地上賽馬，在寺廟裡祈禱，在篝火旁與朋友唱情歌的生活。
『The world is big, but I love my hometown the most,』 he said in the monologue. 『The sincerity of Ding Zhen and the beauty of Litang soothe our anxious minds,』 read a comment below the video on Douyin.
「世界很大，但我最愛的是我的家鄉。」他在獨白中說。抖音視頻下方的一條評論寫道:「丁真的真誠和理塘的美麗撫慰了我們焦慮的心靈。」
