Interviewer: Good evening. Today, we’re going to meet a Guinness World Record holder,
Professor Zhao Li. Welcome, Professor Zhao.
Zhao Li: Thank you.
Interviewer: When did your interest in insects start?
Zhao Li: When I was four or five years old.
Interviewer: What do you like most about insects?
Zhao Li: Everything! I really enjoy studying them. My dad even took me to mountains
and forests to do this.
Interviewer: Is it challenging to study insects?
Zhao Li: I think so. I used to ride my bike 500 kilometres to find insects. Sometimes, I
had to wait for days just to take photos of a butterfly.
Interviewer: Wow! Why did you make it your job then?
Zhao Li: Because I love it! Studying insects gives me so much joy. I’ve also set up a
museum to encourage people like me.
Interviewer: I think that’s why people call you “the Prince of Butterflies”! Do you like this
name?
Zhao Li: Well, I’m not a prince, just an insect lover.
