在接受中国日报采访时，柯克·阿佩兰表示，视频能受到几万人的关注他也很意外。

对中国的固有偏见

2014年柯克·阿佩兰与妻子搬到中国。据他介绍，自己是从2017年开始做视频博主，“因为我想向朋友和家人展示我在中国的生活”。

亲朋好友一直听说中国是一个有共产主义政府的国家，他们认为很危险。我想告诉他们这不是真的，但我失败了。

They had always heard that China was a place with a Communist government and they considered it dangerous. I tried telling them that this was just not true but I couldn't get them to understand. 

然后，我想我可以给他们展现我所爱的中国、真正的中国。我能想到的唯一办法就是拍视频，让他们能见我所见、闻我所闻。

I thought then that I would show them the real China that I have grown to love and the only way I knew how to do this was to make videos so they could actually see what I see. 

通过视频，他们终于明白了，中国和他们的国家基本上是一样的。最大的区别就是文化、食物、人民、气候和风光了。

This turned a lot of them to understand that China was basically the same as their country. The big difference was the culture, food, people, climate and the beauty of the country side.

自新冠肺炎疫情以来，柯克·阿佩兰拍了一些关于新冠病毒的视频，他告诉中国日报记者，与疫情随之而来的是对中国的污名化，“我试图向大众解释，这些政客和西方记者没有告诉他们真相。”

The rhetoric was being spread in the political circles in a number of countries and by mainstream media. I tried to explain to the masses that the truth was not being told to them by these politicians and journalists.
