Now, many middle-aged and elderly people will also like to watch short videos with fast rhythm and interesting content. As a young person, do you know your parents' preference for short videos? Recently, a survey of 1531 young people conducted by the social survey center of China Youth Daily through the questionnaire network (Wenjuan. Com) showed that 85.6% of the young people interviewed knew the short video content loved by their parents. To understand their parents' preference for short videos, 71.9% of the young people surveyed thought that they could increase their communication and interaction with their parents and reduce the generation gap. Among the respondents, the post-00s accounted for 22.9%, the post-90s accounted for 56.4%, and the post-80s accounted for 20.7%. Men accounted for 40.6% and women accounted for 59.4%. 85.6% of the young people interviewed knew the short video content loved by their parents Xu Jie (a pseudonym), a post-90s generation who lives in Beijing, said that her mother often brushes short videos, especially those who like to watch health care, funny and social hot spots. "Sometimes she will share the short videos she sees with me.". Gong Yunqiu, a junior in Hubei, said that she usually watches more short videos and her parents watch less. "I usually watch makeup, funny and delicious food. I don't know what my parents look at.". In the survey, 85.6% of the young people interviewed knew the short video content their parents loved to watch. Interaction analysis showed that the proportion of post-90s who knew was higher (86.3%). Guan Shuangshuang, a senior student, said that he usually brushes short videos less, but his parents brush short videos very addictive. "My mother will watch some short videos related to local life and parenting. My father may watch more funny videos, and he sometimes shares them with me.". The data show that health preservation (70.4%) and humor (61.8%) are the types of short videos that the young people interviewed think their parents prefer. Others include daily life (54.5%), news hot spots (52.7%), history and culture (33.8%), skills (33.1%) and song and dance (22.9%). Liang Yuting, a senior student, practiced on a video platform. She found that there were great differences in short video preferences between young people and their elders. "Some videos young people don't like to watch, but they are very popular in the previous generation. For example, my family likes to watch short videos of life philosophy, but in my opinion, they are preaching and don't like it.". Liang Yuting felt that many peers who know what short videos their family likes to watch like themselves, "this is related to the intimacy with their family". To understand parents' preference for short videos, 71.9% of the young people surveyed thought it could increase communication and interaction Xu Jie usually watches short videos from knowledge bloggers and occasionally watches short videos of beauty and food. She thought she and her mother had no common topic in the content of short videos, but later found that both of them like videos in the field of food, "I will share some home-made food with my mother and cook it together. We also watched some food bloggers and watched their store exploration videos.". "It's also because of my mother's recommendation. Now I will pay attention to some life short videos and learn some life tips." Xu Jie thinks that although she and her mother have their own favorite short video content, they can also find intersection and generate some new common topics. To understand their parents' preference for short videos, 71.9% of the young people surveyed thought that they could increase their communication and interaction with their parents and reduce the generation gap, 70.0% of the young people surveyed thought that they could pay more attention to their parents' emotional needs and understand their ideas, 53.4% of the young people surveyed thought that they could give more reminders to prevent their parents from being too addicted to short videos, and 43.4% of the young people surveyed thought that they could guide them in time to avoid their parents' addiction to short videos The mother was misled by the short video content. Xu Jie thinks that understanding their parents' preference for short videos can help them better "surf the Internet". Now the content of short videos is very complex, and their parents' discrimination ability is not very strong. Sometimes they are easy to be misled, so we need our children to remind them more. "Xu Jie said that especially for some social hot spots and popular science short videos, she will make parents pay more attention to the accounts of mainstream media. Some young people feel that their parents are not interested in the content they care about. For this, Chen Zhilin, member of Chongqing Youth Federation and author of psychology popular science, disagrees. "Everyone pursues progress. The reason why young people think so is because they don't have the patience to let their elders understand the content they are interested in.". Chen Zhilin suggested that young people should try to help the elderly more. "Young people have a wider vision and should learn to take the initiative to help their parents grow up, which can make family relations more harmonious.". "Now there is a common phenomenon that people are unwilling to leave their patience and good temper to their families and take their tolerance for granted." Chen Zhilin believes that this will lead to a lack of communication among families, "Active communication between parents and children is very important. We should simply, directly, generously and clearly express our needs rather than relying on guessing. The two generations should accompany each other more. Young people are very busy, but we should also spend some time for communication with parents.". (outlook new era)
