在视频网站Youtube上,一段人狮拥抱的视频在不到一个月的时间被点击观看了六百多万次,这段三十多年前的老视频仍然感动着无数人。

    THE heart-tugging video diary of Christian the lion, a big cat who lived in a London antiques shop, has become an internet sensation - 38 years after he was returned to life in the African bush. The home movie has been watched 6m times on YouTube and other sites, rekindling celebrity for two Australians who bought a lion cub from Harrods in 1969 to impress their friends.

    The trio became stars in Chelsea, playing football in a park, but Christian grew too big and at 18 months he was moved to the Kenyan wildlife sanctuary featured in the film Born Free.

    A year later his former owners, John Rendall and Anthony Bourke, visited the sanctuary, but its founder, George Adamson, warned them to stay away from Christian, who was now in the wild and had his own pride. He said the lion would tear them to pieces.

    Instead, as the film shows, Christian rushed towards them, putting his paws on Rendall’s shoulders and licking his face in joy. It is a moment of touching friendship that has reduced millions to tears, say critics, who believe Christian, along with other “positive” video hits such as the dancing man, where a chunky American dances badly across the world, show how the net is becoming more family-friendly.

    After the meeting, Christian was never seen again.

    一只狮子克里斯蒂安的成长日记牵动了无数人的心,这只曾住在伦敦一家古董店的狮子在回归非洲丛林38年后成了网络催泪弹。这段视频在Youtube和其他网站上被看了六百多万次。

    两个澳大利亚年轻人于1969年在哈罗德百货公司买了一只狮子,然后和它一起生活,一起在公园踢球,但是克里斯蒂安长到18个月的时候太大了,于是两个年轻人就把它送到肯尼亚的野生动物保护区,这家保护中心曾在影片《狮子与我》中出现。

    一年后,这两个年轻人再次来到野生动物保护区,保护区的创始人乔治告诉他们要和克里斯蒂安保持距离,因为克里斯蒂安已经完全恢复了野性,这只狮子有可能把他们撕碎。

    结果,我们却看到了视频中的这一幕,克里斯蒂安冲向他们,爪子搭在他们的肩上,快乐的舔他们的脸,这一幕赚取了无数热泪。

    在这次会面后,克里斯蒂安再也没有出现在人们的眼前了。
