  • China’s Pathway to Digital Wanghong

    Open AccessYilei Wang, Hua WangARTICLEAsian Studies Review2026

    Since 2015, the wanghong (microcelebrity) phenomenon has rapidly evolved into a defining feature of contemporary Chinese digital culture, sitting at the intersection of commercialisation, grassroots expression, and state power. Despite its cultural prominence, however, the mainstream Chinese media’s discursive construction of wanghong remains understudied. This study addresses this gap by employing a media-framing approach to analyse the evolutio…

  • A character-based conceptual framework to integrate landscape services into landscape planning

    Yilei Wang, Diechuan Yang et al.ARTICLELandscape Research2025References: 49

    In the context of accelerating landscape changes, integration of landscape service (LS) into landscape planning (LP) is becoming increasingly important for sustainable development. However, current approaches often fail to effectively bridge the LS concept with LP practices. This study aims to develop a character-based framework to integrate LS into LP through landscape character assessment (LCA). Through a systematic review of 81 articles, we id…

  • Infusing patriotism in popular culture

    Wang Yilei, Yilei Wang et al.ARTICLECritical Studies in Mass…2024

    The porous boundary between popular culture and politics has often led to the political appropriation of popular cultural venues for promoting official ideologies and fostering patriotic consciousness. To understand how patriotic values are infused into popular culture, this study analyzes a 2019 Chinese "main melody" film, My People, My Country, from a social semiotic perspective. To examine the interplay between power, narrative, and patriotism…

Against this backdrop, this study aims to investigate how a “Green China” image is constructed through state-sanctioned eco-documentaries. Drawing on the Attitude System in Appraisal theory and multimodal discourse anal…

  • Identity, lifestyle, and face-mask branding

    Open AccessYilei Wang, Feng William Dezheng et al.ARTICLEMultimodality & Society2021

    The massive introduction of face-masks across the world after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed how they are designed and branded. Instead of merely focusing on functional qualities, face-mask producers have started to draw upon symbolic values in their branding discourse. Against this background, the present study investigates how face-masks are branded in Hong Kong by analyzing the design, packaging and websites for face-mas…

    In the digital age, cities around the world are mobilizing various symbolic resources to rebrand their images through social media. Against this background, this study investigates how Xi’an, a second-tier developing city in China, constructs its digitalized urban imaginary using the popular social media platform of TikTok. A semiotic framework is developed to model Xi’an’s urban imaginary as evaluative attributes and to elucidate how they are co…
