Since 2017, short videos have got millions of views online in China.1.短视频已成为中国现在最受欢迎的交流方式之一。Many people create and share short videos on popular video apps (应用程序) like Douyin. You can even add music and special effects to your videos. 2. The videos usually last l5 seconds to a few minutes. They show people doing activities like cooking, exercising and singing.

3. Teenagers especially enjoy these videos. Because the videos let teenagers see funny and exciting things they don’t usually see. Many teens like to share the fun things they do with others as well. For example, a famous blogger named Li Ziqi has posted videos showing traditional Chinese culture. This has won her many fans.

However, the videos can also cause trouble.4. —些学生花太多的时间看他们。They don’t have enough time to study. To deal with this problem, Douyin added a new function (功能) in April, 2018.5. It locks the app if someone uses the app for over two hours a day. In this way, the apps have been controlled much more strictly since then.
