福建高校教师王利民，将宫崎骏动画《千与千寻》的经典场景巧妙融入自家鱼缸，金鱼游弋间，红门、石板小径与翠绿叶片交相辉映，仿佛穿越异世界！从草图绘制到材料搜集，再到精细组装，他用一个月时间，倾注爱心与智慧，打造出一个既美观又生态平衡的梦幻鱼缸，让人不禁感叹：原来，动画与现实，只隔着一个创意满满的水族箱！

For those who watched Spirited Away by Japanese animation maestro Hayao Miyazaki, the sight of one of Wang Limin's fish tanks will most likely evoke a sense of deja vu.

对于那些曾沉浸在日本动画大师宫崎骏《千与千寻》梦幻世界中的观众而言，福建某高校教师王利民打造的一个鱼缸，无疑会勾起他们的熟悉与共鸣。

Wang, a teacher who works at a college in Fujian province, has a passion for landscape design, and in 2020 replicated a scene from the movie in an aquarium.

王利民，一位对景观设计充满热情的教育者，于2020年在自家水族箱内巧妙复刻了电影中的经典一幕。

Amid the gentle swimming of goldfish, a red gate, submerged in water and framed by trees draped in rich green foliage, helps create an otherworldly ambience reminiscent of the film. The attention to detail is striking, with a stone path leading up to the gate, appearing just as it did in the movie.

金鱼悠然游弋间，一扇被碧水轻拥的红门，在翠绿叶片的映衬下，营造出一种仿佛穿越至电影异世界般的氛围。其对细节的精准拿捏尤为令人赞叹，通往那扇神秘大门的石板小径，与影片中如出一辙。

"You can see it is still running perfectly, and all I have to do is renew the water and glass from time to time," said Wang.

王利民笑言：“它至今仍运转得恰到好处，我只需定期更换水和清洁玻璃即可。”

The idea of crafting the exquisite fish tank struck him when he stumbled upon instructional videos on creating a miniature ecological system.

灵感源自一次偶然——在观看制作微型生态系统的教程视频后，他萌生了打造这个精美鱼缸的念头。

"I have always loved handwork, so I figured it would be a great diversion from my stressful academic life," said Wang who was engaged in postgraduate studies in environment and garden design back then.

“我一直对手工艺品情有独钟，觉得它能让我在紧张的学业中寻得一丝慰藉。”当时正攻读环境与园林设计研究生的王利民回忆道。

As an animation fan, he thought of bringing to life the Spirited Away scene as his first fish tank creation.

身为动漫迷的他，渴望将《千与千寻》的场景搬入现实，作为自己的鱼缸处女作。

From drafting a sketch of the scene, to finding wood, grass and gravel, and fitting and assembling every part, it took him a month to pull off the project.

从勾勒场景草图，到搜集木材、草皮与砾石，再到逐一安装与组装，王利民倾注了一个月的心血才使这个项目圆满落成。

"It requires keen aesthetic sensibility, a deep understanding of biological cycles, and the right materials," Wang said, 

adding that all the components must be scaled to the correct proportion. Finding the right materials was also a major challenge.

这背后，不仅需要敏锐的审美眼光、对生物周期的深刻理解，还需挑选合适的材料。“每个部件都需严格按照比例打造，寻找材料也是一大考验。”他说道。

"They would have to endure in the water, and be able to be manipulated and processed, while looking good, and being safe for the fish," he added.

他进一步补充道：“这些材料不仅要能在水中持久耐用，便于操作加工，还需外观美观，对鱼儿无害。”

Wang's attention to detail also extends to choosing fish-safe paints and ensuring the ecosystem remains sustainable by maintaining proper biological cycles — where fish waste nourishes algae, and water plants photosynthesize and generate oxygen for the aquatic life.

王利民对细节的执着还体现在选用对鱼无害的涂料，以及通过维护良好的生物循环来保障生态系统的可持续发展——鱼儿的排泄物滋养藻类，水草则通过光合作用为水生生物提供氧气。

The work proved to be a labor of love. "It has been a great decoration for my place. Whenever I see it after work, I feel relaxed," Wang said.

这项工作无疑是爱的结晶。“它成了我居所的一大亮点，每次下班归来看到它，都能让我倍感放松。”他感慨道。

Compared with regular fish tanks, Wang believes his has a more therapeutical effect and can evoke positive responses in people who love aquatic animals, natural landscapes or animation.

王利民认为，他的作品相较于普通鱼缸，更具治愈力量，能够触动那些热爱水生生物、自然景观或动画的人们的心弦。
