There are 467 households and 1648 people in the village. It is an authentic Monguor village where Monguor people make up over 90% of the population. Wushi Village is located in Huzhu Monguor Autonomous County, Qinghai Province. Anything in the article that does not clearly indicate the source comes from the above field survey. I made a comprehensive record of the online video editing and sharing practices as well as the daily lives of the group. From July to August 2017, the author conducted a one-month field survey in the village, focusing on young villagers’ production and sharing of these short videos. The young people in Wushi Village downloaded the Kuaishou app on their mobile phones. Up to now, the app has already reached 700 million users, and the average of daily active users has surpassed 100 million. Moreover, users could achieve real-time interaction with fans through live streaming. In November 2012, Kuaishou was transformed from a mere tool into a short video community, and became a platform for users to photograph, video and share their everyday lives. GIF Kuaishou was a mobile application created for making and sharing GIF pictures. Kuaishou’s predecessor, “GIF Kuaishou,” was founded in March 2011. As a matter of fact, young Monguor villagers’ Kuaishou practices clearly reflect the diversity and complexity of China’s urbanization process in the Internet age.

These will become key issues in future Chinese rural studies, where large territories remain uncharted.įrom the short video content made on Kuaishou by young Monguor villagers in Qinghai, we can see that these users patch up and juxtapose local and urban culture to show cultural adoption strategies and logic that are unique to the Internet era, which works to blur the urban-rural dual economic structure and weaken the developing urban-rural power gap.

Footnote 2 How to transform unused, fragmented resources that do not match the development of the industrial age into competitive capital through the connectivity of the Internet based on a village’s own foundation, and how to realize the development of equal rights between urban and rural areas. As China’s internet access rate is growing year by year, it is clear that the “digital divide” has been transformed from past access opportunities to application differences, which has led to a further widening of the digital divide between urban and rural areas. By reviewing the relevant literature, DiMaggio and other researchers proposed that the development of the digital divide has gone through two stages: the digital divide caused by the differences in access opportunities and digital inequality due to the differences in the use of the Internet (DiMaggio et al., 2003). Second, research on rural development in the context of the Internet have focused on the “digital divide” and the differences between urban and rural development more in the previous research model of the urban-rural dual structure.
Topics within this transformation include: how the Internet empowers rural grassroots activities and changes the pattern of domination over capital and power in China’s urbanization process and the way in which the Internet allows rural areas to develop from the bottom up, integrates local resources autonomously, and contributes to local employment, commerce, and public service (Li, 2016).
The issue of “empowerment” is given considerable attention in China’s rural development as well as the new urbanization transformation which China is constantly advocating. First of all, research on the subject has found that “technological empowerment” occupies a large space and has attracted the attention of many scholars (Zheng, 2014). More importantly, internet access in rural areas has an major impact on local culture, social organization and overall social change. Footnote 1 The rapid growth of Internet access and the high penetration rates of mobile phones and other terminal devices have accelerated China’s overall urbanization process.
According to the “White Paper of China’s Internet Economy in 2017” released by China Internet Network Information Center, by November 2016, China became one of the world’s largest Internet markets and the number of Internet users in China has reached 710 million, ranking first in the world, equivalent to the total number of Internet users in India and the United States combined.
