If you want to know which social app Chinese young people use a lot now, you had better not miss “short videos”. Some users use apps like Tik Tok (抖音) and Kuaishou because they think it is fun to share short videos about their lives, while others have different purposes as well.
A 12-year-old user named Elsa has up to 2.7 million followers on Tik Tok. The girl has shared videos about her dancing studies since last July. One of the videos won her about one million fans. “I feel really happy to go on sharing happiness with other people by short videos,” said Elsa.
As some videos are about the latest news, a group of users depend on them to get information. To some other users, they have a different purpose. “Because I can’t spend many hours watching a complete video and I am a very impatient person. I don’t like waiting for a program to end. I prefer to watch short videos of wonderful parts in a concert or a TV series,” said Wang Zhihao.
However, some young Chinese feel bored with some short videos. “Killing time is the main reason for me to watch the short videos, but many are almost the same, so I think it is a waste of time. Moreover, I really don’t like the videos which show strange even dangerous things,” said Wen Nan, another college student.
Recently, something else has happened. Some videos are telling people what products are worth buying. Some users buy the products after watching, but they should think twice. If they don’t think carefully, they may regret soon. Some short videos even sell fake (假) products, but these sellers won’t let you return them to get your money back, or deal with your trouble.
