A micro blog with space for 140 Chinese characters had once been a source of endless amusement for Wang Ganghui, a senior majoring in biochemistry at Ji’nan University.
Until last month, the 21-year-old had believed that he was part of a broader movement, one of enlightenment and open criticism. Recently, however, Wang’s micro blog is silent.
The reason? It’s because of a woman known as “Zhao Bairan”. Earlier this month, Wang joined many other users to criticize the US-based student for her wealthy overseas life, because they thought her money came from corruption since her mother was a local official.
But later Wang found out that the woman student was actually being supported by her father, a hard-working businessman.
“I felt guilty… Someone hid part of the truth to make a conflict. The worst thing is—I did not even have a chance to apologize to her,” he says.
Wang is not the only young Internet user to be confounded(困惑的) by an online world made up entirely of fragmented(片断的) information.
This year saw a phenomenal boom(繁荣) in micro-blogging in both private and public life.
According to statistics from the International Communication Office of the Communist Party of China’s Central Committee last month, the number of micro bloggers in China now exceed 300 million.
For private users, a micro blog can provide real-time updates from anyone a user chooses to “follow”. These can range from family members to celebrities(名人). Information can instantly be spread through “re-tweeting”.
In the public sphere(范围,领域) however, a micro blog can also become a link between users and the authorities.
According to an annual government affairs report on micro blogs, over 20,000 governmental agencies in China launched official accounts this year, increasing 200 percent from last year.
