Question

Do you think WeChat can keep families close? Some students say yes while some say no.

YES

Xing Yuxi, 12, Chongqing

I like to have a family group on WeChat. It’s important to have a good relationship with our family members, as we love them more than anyone else in the world. In my family’s WeChat group, we often share photos that show our daily lives. We freely talk about our work school, or even entertainment. It is nice to communicate with people who know me well.

WeChat family groups can help us do lots of things. For example, if you have a big announcement (通知) to make to your family, you can just send a single message to the group instead of contacting each member separately (分开地). This saves a lot of time. Also, different family members often live far away from each other. Not everyone contacts every other family member often. But family groups allow us to share our lives with everyone.

NO

Ma Jingwen, 14, Sichuan

I used to be in my family’s WeChat group, but I’m not in it anymore. I don’t think it is very useful. Every morning, my family members all send the same emoji (表情), which says “good morning, my friends". The emojis look really old-fashioned, with shining or spinning (旋转的) Chinese characters (汉字). They’re annoying to me. On weekends, they share many pictures while I’m trying to study. My phone keeps ringing, “which really distracts (使…... …分神) me.

Many people share their photos, addresses, and other private information in their WeChat family groups, which is not safe. Also, the long texts and continuous voice messages are annoying to me. My family members often talk about stuff (东西) that has nothing to do with me, but I have to spend time checking the messages anyway. It causes me to spend more time on my phone. It is bad for my eyes.
