Do you know which social app Chinese young people use a lot now? 1. Some users use Tik Tok (抖音) and Kuaishou. They think it is fun to share short videos about their lives, while others have other purposes as well.
A l2-year- old user named Elsa has about 2.7 million fans on Tik Tok. The girl has shared videos about her dancing studies since last July.2. "I feel really glad to share happiness with 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 whole video and I'm not a very patient person,3. I prefer to watch short videos of wonderful parts in programs," said Wang Zhihao.
4. "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. What's more, I really don't like the videos which show strange even dangerous things," said Wen Nan, another college student.

A couple often went shopping together. They both liked teacups. One day they saw a beautiful teacup in a store. As they picked it up, it suddenly spoke.
"I haven't always been a teacup. Once I was red clay. My master rolled(揉、搓) me over and over and I shouted, but he only smiled."
"Then I was placed on a rolling wheel and suddenly I went around and around. 'Stop!' I cried, but the master only nodded."
"Then he put me in the oven. I had never felt so hot. I could see him through the opening and I could read his words, 'Not yet.' "
"Finally the door opened, and he took me out and put me on a shelf. Then he brushed me and put me back into the oven. This time it was twice as hot. I begged. I cried. I could see him through the opening nodding his head, saying, 'Not yet.' "
"Then I knew there wasn't any hope. I was ready to give up, but the door opened and I was taken out and placed on a shelf. Later he handed me a mirror and said, 'Look at yourself.' I said, 'That can't be me. It's becautiful!' "
" 'I want you to remember,' he said, 'if I had just left you without rolling, you'd have dried up. If I had stopped rolling you around on the wheel, you would have been out of shape. If I hadn't put you in the oven, you would have broken. If I hadn't brushed you all over, you would not have any color in your life. If I hadn't put you back in that oven for the second time, you wouldn't be kept for very long because the hardness would not have held. Now you are a finished product. You are what I had in mind when I first started with you."
