CONTENT RELATED 2010 2013 2013.9 THE EVOLUTION OF ‗TUHAO‘ Unlike ―Diaosi‖ which was created by netizens. ―Tuhao‖ has been well known since the age of Land Reform and revolutionary China. However, its meaning has been completely changed from its usual simple description of ―a cheesy wealthy‖. Nowadays ―Tuhao‖ commonly refers to those who are extravagantly wealthy and who love displaying it. The word ―Tuhao‖ is no longer critical sarcasm but more a friendly joke. What is ―Tuhao‖? The traditional ―Tuhao‖ First quote in cyber world ―Tuhao, please be my friend!‖made ―Tuhao‖ a hit Public attitude towards ―Tuhao‖——a friendly joke The traditional ―Tuhao‖ refers to those who are rich but also evil. They are exploitative by nature and have no mercy. Those who spent lots of money on computer- gaming outfits were called ―Tuhao players‖. The joke ―A young man and a Cham master‖ brought the word ―Tuhao‖ into the public view. The Weibo activities ―Tuhao, be my friend please‖ and ―write a poem for Tuhaos‖ ranked highly among hot topics, which made the word continuously in vogue.

CONTENT RELATED FROM ‗DIAOSI‘ TO ‗TUHAO‘ – THE MENTALITY CHANGE OF NETIZENS People used the word Diaosi to laugh at themselves in 2012. In 2013, Tuhao became their new weapon to launch a new war of words against others. The birth and the popularization of every top word reflects a subtle metaphor of social ecology in China, where the wealth gap remains wide and social mobility remains weak. Therfore, Diaosi is a kind of self-mockery, while Tuhao is a mockery to others. DIAOSI A self-mockery: the word ―Diaosi‖ can be used to refer to one‘s self as well as other people. A description of someone in a predicament. A dual-mockery to one‘s plight and his inability to change. TUHAO A mockery to others: generally used to banter with others only. More envy than jealousy ―Tuhao, be my friend please‖ is a kind of defense mechanism

CONTENT RELATED ‗BIG TIMES‘ TO ‗TINY TIMES‘ "Let's make friends, TuHao―. This interesting, ridiculed topic led to a huge cultural boom, up there with other topics such as reform and China's future, food safety, environmental pollution and other public issues. Internet users paid more attention to "Tu Hao", but does that mean the other topics matter less to the public? We are in an awkward situation, where "Big Times" and "Tiny Times" are together in this Era. BIG TIMES ‗Big Times‘: the grand narrative, Passionate ideals, society having relatively centralized themes, ex people wanting to achieve a certain goal together. TINY TIMES ‗Tiny times‘: Individuals, preferences, special tastes, a decentralized, even fragmented environment. From ―hatred of the rich‖ to ―joking with TuHao‖, this subtle psychology changes could explain why Chinese youth turn to Tiny times. Youth born in the 80s and 90s have entered the ―Tiny times‖, a socio-economic structure dominated by materialism and fueled by developed media technology. Individuals, preferences, and niche tastes can be better expressed in this environment. Netizens envy those who are materially rich, but ―hatred of the rich‖ has changed to ―tolerance and acceptance of the rich‖. This is a more complex social attitude than self-deprecation. ―Let‘s make friends, TuHao‖ is the youth‘s dark humor, meaning they no longer care about the gap between rich and poor. ‗Big times‘ will melt away quietly because of the rapid spread of Internet culture and ‗Tiny times‘ ‗Tiny times‖ represents the way to escape from the unfinished political cultural ideal. Together with the online culture such as "Tuhao", "Diao Si", it has been eating away the "Big times‖.

3.2 Emerging but invisible tribes

A NEW CHAPTER OF SOCIAL
NETWORKING Netizens are now beginning to cut and filter fragmented information in favor of more accurate constructs. Strong ties tend to take the place of weak ties. Perhaps this is a kind of rational return after the wave of mass, fragmented information. This return brings us both more concrete and complex relationships, as well as opens a new chapter of the social networking age.

So…what‘s next?

We are at that new
stage where the lines between the physical and virtual world are blurred. WHAT IS NEXT? People and things are connected through technology into a big network; an hyper dimensional network This hyper-reality is built through technology and brings solutions to our emotional or everyday life needs We are facing a real life ―Inception‖ where an experience will change our behaviors
