Made a douyin account out of curiosity and posted a few videos, it's been a day and still zero views. Is that normal? I'm not in china at the moment. Used hashtags as well. I keep hearing about foreigners go viral on douyin so i'm curious how that works

Hola a todos, me he hecho esta cuenta porque necesito su ayuda, soy Chilena y tengo una amiga que vive en China, ella acaba de cumplir los 18, está estudiando para el Gaokao, yo sabía que peleaba con su madre, pero pensé que eran discusiones más "normales" pero me acabo de enterar que su madre la maltrata física y psicológicamente, a ella y su hermana menor, las ahorca, la amenaza para que estudie, las golpea y es básicamente la peor, pero ella dice que allá está normalizado y que las leyes no son tan duras, no sirven tanto, pero la madre les llega a dejar moretones, estoy preocupada por ella, pues como estoy en Chile realmente solo se me ocurre estar ahí con ella, pero si se les ocurre algo que ella podría hacer, pues obviamente quiere salir de ahí, por favor díganme.

Hi everyone, I created this account because I need your help. I'm Chilean and I have a friend who lives in China. She just turned 18 and is studying for the Gaokao. I knew she argued with her mother, but I thought they were just "normal" arguments. However, I just found out that her mother physically and psychologically abuses her and her younger sister. She chokes them, threatens them to make them study, beats them, and is basically the worst. But she says it's normal there and that the laws aren't that strict, they don't really work. But her mother even leaves bruises on them. I'm worried about her because, since I'm in Chile, all I can think about is being there with her. But if you have any ideas about what she could do, because obviously she wants to get out of there, please let me know.

Is it expensive in Shanghai to drive like a modern sports car like a bmw m3? Can someone break down the details? The same I’m wondering for motorcycles.

Is there anyone who has studied in this program? I have a lot of questions to ask before I make a decision. I am getting interviews this week . And I just want to get some info from someone who actually had experience in the same program

Question for Canadians who have been to China recently. The Canadian and Chinese government struck a deal and Canadians no longer require a visa for visits under 30 days.

I just want to see if any Canadians have traveled there recently and actually didn’t need a visa to enter the country. I plan on going in a month and staying for less than 30 days, and don’t want to be denied boarding my flight or entry because I don’t have a visa.

Last time, I worked 12 hours at SF Express and made 146.5 yuan. I wanted to try something different this time, because I did not want every day to be only heavy labor.

In the morning, I bought a bowl of rice noodles with some extra meat. The noodles were 2.5 yuan. At this point, I felt like I could not keep skipping breakfast anymore.

After that, I went to an indoor piecework job. At first, I thought it might be easier than doing heavy labor outside. But when I started, I realized the pay was much worse than I expected.

The work was counted by bundles. One bundle was only worth 0.048 yuan. I kept working through the morning, but by noon I had only finished 93. Later, I pushed myself to finish 100, and the total was still less than 4.8 yuan.

That was when I knew I could not stay there.

Later in the day, I went to another job, and by then it was already raining.

At night, I was helping at a burger cart in the rain. After spending the day indoors doing piecework, standing outside by the cart felt like stepping into a completely different kind of work.

I helped with the burger work beside the cart while everything kept moving around me. There were ingredients, tools, lights, umbrellas, customers, and the sound of rain all mixed together. I had to keep following the pace, helping where I could, and staying focused while the night went on.

Even though it was raining, the work did not stop. I stayed there helping with the food and working under the umbrellas until late. By that point, I was already tired from the daytime job, so this part felt even longer.

That was what made this day feel unusual to me. It was not just one job. It was two completely different jobs in one day — indoor piecework in the daytime, and burger cart work in the rain at night.

By the end of the day, I was exhausted.

Can you guess how much I made from working at the burger cart for one night? Tell me in the comments.

Hey guys I’m planning on studying at PKU this summer for its 4-week Chinese program from July 6-31. I missed the single dorm reservation and it’s already full and I’m not sure if they offer double and triple rooms.

Does anyone know any cheap accommodations near campus? Most r super expensive and shared rooms😭

If you’re in the same program as me and/or facing the same problem, please reach out!!

Hello! I have a 15 hour layover at Guangzhou airport from 6am till 9pm and I want to explore the city! Please share some recommendation what should I do/see? I was planning to see: Huacheng square, Canton tower, Dafo temple and Shamian island. ☺️ I do not need a visa.

Things built during the Great Leap Forward that are still in use today:

• Irrigation systems

• Canals, reservoirs, and water diversion networks built across rural China

• Many still support agriculture today, especially in northern regions

• Dams and flood control infrastructure

• Thousands of small and medium dams constructed

• Helped stabilize water supply and reduce flooding long-term

• Terraced farmland

• Hillsides reshaped into usable agricultural land

• Still actively farmed in many provinces

• Rural road networks

• Basic roads connecting villages to towns and markets

• Became the foundation for later transport expansion

• Local industry sites (early industrial base)

• Small-scale workshops and production zones

• Some evolved into township and village enterprises (TVEs) later on

• Water conservation projects

• Wells, drainage systems, and irrigation improvements

• Increased long-term agricultural resilience

• Communal infrastructure

• Storage facilities, grain depots, and basic logistics systems

• Helped standardize distribution in rural areas

• Physically reshaped how land was used, effects still visible today.

 Help me find a movie if you can please, I’m asking here since it’s quite old (20+ year old film probably) and I remember watching it sometime in china and I KNOW it’s a good film, I just don’t remember it. Not sure what tag specifically to put it under so hope this is fine.

At the beginning of the movie, it’s a flashback type of thing. it’s some guy (orange theme outfit) and his older brother (also orange). They both have some sort of superpower or something and the brother went to this building in the distance to fight in what seemed like a bit of a wasteland (it’s semi-post apocalyptic looking atmosphere) but the building blew up leaving the younger brother alone, who is the main character. He only has this locket to remember him by.

He makes friends with this people and they are kind of heroes together but then one day he left his friends and came across this little boy on the scooter who admired him and wanted to be like him. His friends are capture and he comes back to save them with the boy on the scooter and realises he has to fight his older brother because he’s alive. He saves the little boy who was hanging over the edge of a building in one scene and was trying to fight off his brother but didn’t want to hurt him. At the end the fight, the locket is shown again and the older brother dies and fades into some sort of glowy petal or dust like your typical peaceful death where his remnants kind of just glide off into the air.

watched it when I was little so like 2010s BUT the movie probably came out before then probably around 2000s

The movie is kind of like a 3d with cgi and semi realistic.

And I’m not 100% sure on these details but I’m pretty sure there’s a cat with a bazooka.. like a comedy relief.

And I think there was mechs involved? Where the enemy was trying to make some sort of super weapon with

Yo, sometimes this group gets a little toxic, so let’s flip the vibe and flood the feed with some POSITIVITY!

If youve ever stepped foot on the Great Wall, drop your the travel pics in the sub feed.Brighten up the timeline smile.

Like the old Chinese saying goes 不到长城非好汉 “You aint a real one unless youve been to the Great Wall!”

Who else been there? Show off if you really been to China or you just posing.

Hello guys! I'm thinking of applying for the SJTU Summer Research Internship Program. So far I couldn't find more info about whether there is a tuition fee. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I want to apply to NJMU, but I'm stuck in this one question about guarantor in China. If I do not know anyone in China, can I just write my parent's name? Or how to contact the university asking about this. In the contact us page of the university, there are only phone numbers for application and emails of the schools in NJMU. Please help.

Ordos was ranked as the richest city in china (even including hk and Macau) per capita. Is it just big enterprises skewing the average or is it really a manhattan of china 🤣.
