阑珊，珠海茶否创始人 － Lanshan, Founder, CHAFUL, Zhuhai.
DB：你在茶否CHAFUL工作了多长时间？How long have you been with CHAFUL?
茶否目前已开业两年，再加上开业前一年的筹备，一共是三年的时间。
CHAFUL has opened for 2 years. Plus, we did a lot of preparations before it was open a year ago. So, I have been working here for three years in total.
DB：你当时为什么会想开一个公众号写文章？Why did you want to open a WeChat account for writing your articles?
从2008年开始，我就陆续在《南方都市报》《珠江晚报》等媒体写专栏，后来开公众号，是因为一家杂志社向我约稿，让我写写爱珠海的理由。我为此写了一篇名叫《我所热爱的城市永远在深夜》的文章，并第一次想到，我在这座城市生活了这么久，还从来没认真地梳理过我与这座城市的牵绊，于是决定开公众号，分享一下我与这座城市的细枝末节，记录一下，在这座城市毛细血管里涌动的小小波澜。
I have been writing columns for Southern Urban Daily and Zhujiang Evening News Since 2008. Later, a magazine wanted me to write them an article about why I loved living in Zhuhai, and I wrote it, which was called “The City I Love Is Forever at Late Night”. At that moment, I came to realise that I had been living in this city for a long time, but I never thought about how deep my relationship with it would be. So I decided to open a WeChat official account and shared all my stories with this city, recording all my moments, ups and downs, for this city.
DB：你一般会创作什么类型的文章？是随感而发还是有意下笔？What articles do you usually create? Do those ideas come up all of sudden or you make them happen intentionally?
目前主要写的专栏类型有情感专栏、人物采访、事件报道以及电影书籍分享，与吃喝玩乐有关的一切等。大部分是随感而发，不太有固定的更新时间。
Currently, the columns that I am writing for are stories on sentiment, interviews, event coverage, film and book reviews and lifestyle. The ideas for those contents come up all of sudden and I now barely have time to update as many articles.
DB：对于要工作的自由创作者而言，当你白天工作时，如果突然想到某些灵感想写下来时，怎么办？As a freelancer who also needs to work in the daytime, when you come up with some great ideas for your story during working, how do you manage to cope with that?
以前我会随身携带笔记本，想到什么就记下来，但现在笔记本的功能已经由手机备忘录取代。
I used to bring my notebook with me in order to record down whatever pops into my head, but now it seems that my laptop has replaced my notebook.
DB：你有什么建议可以给那些想从事创作或者写作但又不敢踏出第一步的朋友？Do you have any suggestions for those who want to write articles but dare not take the first step?
我很想装逼地说出“写作是一种癌症”“写作就像闪电劈中天空”这样的话，但事实是，只要你识字，只要你有表达的欲望，你就具备写作的基本条件了。剩下的，就是写下第一句话，然后坚持写下去。
I really want to say that “writing can be cancer”, “writing is just like the lighting in the sky, soon and sudden”, however, in fact, you are capable of writing as long as you are literate and you have a lot to express. Then, the only thing you need to do is to write down your first sentence and keep doing it.
