According to a recent survey, about 52% of WeChat（微信）users aged 18 to 29 block their parents on WeChat Moments, also known as "Friends' Circle". My parents don't know Moments very well, and I have told them I don't use it any more. I just need some private space. — Lu Zhiping, 21 years old I don't block my parents completely. They are in a certain group in which I only share positive (正面的) posts. I just don't want my parents to worry about me. Last year my parents saw a Moments picture of my hand getting burned while cooking. It was nothing serious but they traveled all the way to my city to make sure I was all right. — Xie Yun, 26 years old The survey also found that more than 49% of Chinese parents use WeChat as a main way to communicate with their children. When asked what they would do about being blocked, some parents said they would have a conversation with their children to find out the reason, while others said they wouldn't care. And some parents are smarter than their kids. "I didn't realize I was blocked until I compared what I could see on my phone with what my son's aunt could see," said Chen, a mother of a 27-year-old son." Now I'm following my son's posts through his aunt." |
