86.43 percent of Chinese college students enjoy bullet-
screen comments (弹幕评论) when watching videos, as
they like the interaction (互动) with others. 75.13 percent
of them believe that these comments can bring them
happiness.
China Youth Daily has done a survey on “Generation Z bullet-screen comment culture”.
11,976 college students across the country took part in it. Generation Z often refers to people who
were born between 1996-2010.
The survey results showed that 61.34 percent of the students often choose to open the
function (功能) of bullet-screen comments when watching videos. However, 38.66 percent choose
not to; the main reason is that these comments may cover the pictures and make the experience
bad.
Huang Xiaobei is one of the college students. She first saw bullet-screen comments when she
was watching a movie called Tiny Times. “I couldn’t close the comments, so I had to watch
them,” Huang said. However, after this experience, Huang Xiaobei has changed from “hating the
comments, being bored of them” to “thinking it to be very interesting.”
According to the survey, 67.27 percent of the students regard bullet-screen comments as a
way to express their views; 63.05 percent of them believe that the comments serve as a good
supplement (补充) to the video, and 53.19 percent of them believe that bullet-screen comments
help them find like-minded people all over the world.
So far, bullet-screen comments have become a way of interactive communication widely
accepted by people and progressed from a simple tool to a special culture.
