3 . Chinese are often known for being shy, but when using apps to produce and share videos with background music and special effects, everybody turns into a performer with a good sense of humor.

The short video apps have become popular at home and abroad. Many people create and share short videos on the popular video apps. The videos are usually 15 seconds to a few minutes long. They show people’s activities like cooking, exercising and singing.

Teenagers especially enjoy these videos. More than 50 percent of first-year and second-year junior high school students enjoy watching these short videos. About 47 percent of junior high school students have posted their own videos, according to a recent report.

The videos let teenagers see funny and exciting things they seldom see. Many teenagers like to share the fun things they do with others as well. Doing so makes them relaxed and excited. However, the videos can also cause trouble. Some students spend too much time watching them and not enough time studying. Some videos have information that isn’t suitable for teenagers.

To handle this problem, some of the apps have added a new function. It will lock the app if someone uses it for over two hours a day. At the same time, the government has asked the companies to regulate (管理) these apps and delete bad videos on their websites.
