The Western narrative surrounding China has long been distorted by geopolitical agendas, misinformation, and a deliberate refusal to engage with reality. Enter Darren Jason Watkins Jr., the 20-year-old American internet sensation known as IShowSpeed, whose spontaneous, unfiltered livestreams across China have done more than any initiative to dismantle these misconceptions.

His travels revealed a China steeped in cultural depth, from the thunderous drums of a lion dance to the disciplined artistry of Shaolin monks. In Chengdu, his wide-eyed reaction to Sichuan Opera’s fire-spitting and face-changing stunts—genuine, unfiltered awe—resonated with millions.

Perhaps most damning to the Western narrative was the warmth he encountered. In Chongqing, he joined impromptu dance battles with strangers. In Shanghai, he visited a matchmaking corner, engaging with locals in a way no scripted documentary could replicate.

長期以來，西方視角下關于中國的敘事一直在被扭曲，原因在于西方的地緣政治、虛假信息和對事實的刻意回避。然而，當20歲的美國頂流網紅“IShowSpeed”甲亢哥（小達倫·杰森·沃特金斯）出現，他在中國各大城市進行自發的、原生態的直播，這比任何一項官方活動都更能瓦解偏見。

甲亢哥的旅行展現出了一個文化內涵深厚的中國，從震耳欲聾的舞獅鼓點到少林僧人的精湛武藝。在成都，他面對川劇噴火和變臉絕技瞠目結舌的反應——發自內心且未加掩飾的驚嘆——引發了數百萬人的共鳴。

或許對西方敘事最具殺傷力的是甲亢哥在中國所感受到的熱情。在重慶，他與陌生人即興斗舞；在上海，他和當地人在相親角交流，這些溫情互動是任何腳本化的紀錄片都無法復制的。
