Douyin Forgot Me
This article examines how older content creators on China’s Douyin platform develop and act upon their understandings of algorithmic systems, revealing a paradox where sophisticated platform knowledge intensifies rather than alleviates vulnerability. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 23 creators and 1-month ethnographic observation, we demonstrate how participants construct anthropomorphic “algorithmic imaginaries” that frame platform algorithm…
Ambiguitance
This study examines how Douyin's platform affordances enable regulatory-risky content and shape relationships between streamers and audiences in Chinese showroom live streaming—a controversial yet profitable genre characterized by intimate performances and virtual gifting. While existing research focuses on performers' labor and precarity, limited attention has been paid to how platforms enable content that operates at the edge of regulatory boun…
“Happy Life”
The proliferation of beauty filters on digital platforms has transformed self-presentation practices, yet their prevalence and impact on older users remains underexplored. This study investigates why older content creators on Douyin engage with beauty filters, interrogating the emotional, social, and structural dynamics of digital ageism. Through in-depth interviews with twelve creators and participant observation of two individuals, the research…
Calibrated grandmotherhood
strategic self-presentation that aligns with normative expectations of respectable older femininity and algorithmic preferences. This calibration produces an empowerment paradox: the very agency that enables recognition reinforces rather than challenges the gendered age norms constraining these women. The study contributes to empowerment theory by demonstrating how, under conditions of intersecting marginalisation, effective agency and transforma…

Navigating the Digital Wave
Concerns about the aging of the Chinese population (Y. Short videos, representing a novel form of information dissemination and social engagement, offer the elderly a means to connect across time and space (Zhang & Xiang, 2023). Short form video is dynamic and intuitive, making audio-visual information and public communication particularly accessible to older audiences. Notably, On 15th January 2024, the General Office of the State Council of Chi…
Beyond age marginalization
Older content creators gain popularity on Douyin and become a significant part of the platform economy. However, much existing research concentrates on young, beauty content creators with limited attention paid to older content creators. Drawing on the theoretical framework of digital labour and ageing studies, this article examines the reasons why and how older adults become influencers on Douyin, how these creators gain a follower base on such …
Aging in the Digital Tsunami
As China undergoes rapid demographic aging, older Wanghong (influencers over 60) on platforms like Douyin challenge traditional digital inclusion frameworks that conceptualize access as linear progression through motivational, material, skills, and usage dimensions. This study examines how older micro-Wanghong navigate challenges during content creation, revealing critical gaps in existing digital inclusion theory. Drawing on an exploratory quali…
Effect of community-based public health service on health-related quality of life among middle-aged and older adults with chronic diseases in China
Community-based PHS has exerted a positive impact on both the physiological and psychological aspects of HRQoL among middle-aged and older chronic disease patients, with effects varying among individuals with different characteristics. Our findings advocate for enhancing the delivery and utilization of government-funded PHS, increasing health literacy, and promoting early prevention strategies for chronic diseases. Furthermore, targeted health ma…
Delayed-Onset PTSD and Coping Strategies of Chinese College Students During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a pandemic, and many Chinese college students both in China and abroad were house-quarantined. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and symptoms of delayed-onset post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and coping strategies among Chinese overseas and domestic college students during this pandemic. A questionnaire was opportunistically distributed to Chinese college students studying both dome…
