在一个阳光明媚的下午，街头巷尾 suddenly became a hot spot for content creators. They were not there to sell anything, but to "蹭一蹭哔哩哔哩" – or, in other words, live-stream their daily lives on the popular video-sharing platform Bilibili (简称B站).
The trend started with students who would stream themselves studying or doing homework while sitting at outdoor cafes. They would often interact with their viewers by responding to comments and engaging in conversations about various topics. This unique form of entertainment quickly gained traction among young audiences.
One such student was Liang Meng, who had been streaming her daily life for months. She told reporters that she started because she wanted to share her experiences with others and make friends online. Her streams usually focused on her studies and hobbies like drawing and playing musical instruments.
"I just set up my camera and microphone outside a coffee shop," Liang said in an interview. "I'm glad I can inspire people through my streams."
Another popular streamer is Chen Hao, who focuses more on street food culture in China. He travels around different cities, trying various local delicacies while sharing his thoughts on the food's taste and cultural significance.
Chen's streams have attracted many viewers from abroad who are interested in Chinese cuisine. His enthusiasm for food has also inspired some viewers to try new dishes they might not have encountered otherwise.
This phenomenon has not only brought joy to those watching but also created economic opportunities for small businesses nearby. Some cafes offer discounts or free Wi-Fi to these streamers as long as they promote the business during their live-streams.
However, this trend has also raised concerns about privacy issues since these individuals are broadcasting their personal lives outdoors without consent from passersby or even strangers walking by them on the street.
Despite these challenges, it seems that "蹭一蹭哔哩哔哩" will continue as a fun way for young people to express themselves creatively while making connections online – all while enjoying a cup of coffee under the sun outside their favorite cafe.
