Sunshine mood, "flag", read all kinds of information, write down the bits and pieces of life... The WeChat circle of friends has now become a "necessity" for many people's lives.
Today is April 19th, if we reverse the clock for 10 years, April 19, 2012, with the launch of The WeChat 4.0 version, the function of the circle of friends appeared in your and my life for the first time.
Do you remember what was the first circle of friends you sent out in WeChat 10 years ago? 10 years later, are you still as happy to share your life as you used to? If you could say a word to yourself who sent out the first circle of friends 10 years ago, what would you like to say to that self?
"Archaeology" past yourself, what do you most want to say?
On April 19, 2012, version 4.0 Ofe WeChat officially "debuted" with the "circle of friends", and unconsciously, this former new social territory has accompanied us for 10 years.
"As you know, WeChat is more than just a chat tool. It all starts with a photo, you take a picture, you have your own photo album, and in the 'circle of friends' you can learn about the lives of your friends. As you can see, WeChat is a way of life. This passage is the opening statement given to it by WeChat at the beginning of the birth of the circle of friends.
From 1.0 on January 21, 2011 to 8.0.20 on April 2, 2022, WeChat has undergone 103 version updates. The circle of friends is also constantly upgraded in the past updates.
The "circle of friends" in the 4.0 period, the circle of friends function is simple, only give users the right to publish text, pictures, share music, and allow users to like and comment.
Then, functions such as visible range, viewing permissions, adding real-time positioning, creating location information, allowing viewing range, and short videos have been launched in the circle of friends. In the past ten years, There have been more WeChat users, and the function of the circle of friends has been visibly enriched.
Take out your mobile phone to open WeChat, draw to the earliest circle of friends, "archaeology" past yourself, what do you want to say the most?
"The former circle of friends was used to pretend to be literary and artistic youth."
Nengneng, who lives in Zhengzhou, is 31 years old this year, and his first circle of friends records a regrettable relationship.
The sentence "When I found that those four words made me particularly sensitive, I decided to go and see it..." The text, together with two photos of the building, can be the earliest circle of friends posted at 19:34 on June 15, 2012.
The four words are the name of her school, and the building in this photo is her school. At that time, 'emo', missed her ex-girlfriend and ran to her school on impulse, although she had already graduated at that time, it was also a sight to behold, leave a souvenir. Speaking of the situation of releasing this circle of friends at that time, I was still a little embarrassed, "Now it seems really silly, fortunately, only three days of visible this function, saved my 'face'." ”
"The former circle of friends was used to pretend to be literary and artistic youth." Can you say that compared to the previous mood depressed on the circle of friends to vent emotions, now the circle of friends has become a circle of work, to maintain their stable image in the eyes of colleagues is the first thing that matters.
"It was a surprise! The first article happens to be the first day of the circle of friends online. ”
At 14:59 on April 19, 2012, WeChat just launched the circle of friends, and after the 80s, Zhengzhou "indigenous" Chen Zheng released his first circle of friends: a work photo under the sunset.
Looking at the former circle of friends, Chen Zheng was also very surprised, and the first article was exactly the first day of the circle of friends.
"This photo should not have been taken at the time, probably at the end of 2011, near Kaifeng, when we went to the newly opened toll booth to test the network." Chen Zheng said that when sending this circle of friends, the first feeling is fresh and easy to use! At that time, his WeChat friends were not many, only a dozen people, most of them were still using QQ, but QQ was mainly used on desktop computers, and the circle of friends was basically all 0 likes and 0 comments, but this also could not extinguish his enthusiasm for sharing.
Now, Chen Zheng has rarely sent a circle of friends, in his circle of friends that can be seen for only half a year, basically reprinted news, work links, "first, the work has a certain degree of confidentiality, and the second is that the desire to share is not like ten years ago." ”
"At that time, I was so naïve, and I couldn't help but send a circle of friends when there were some changes in my life."
Unlike the post-80s and post-90s who basically began to contact WeChat and the circle of friends in college, on August 24, 2014, XianTao, who was still a fifth-grade primary school student at the time, had already released his first circle of friends.
Now Tao, a native of Ningxia and now a freshman at a university in Xi'an, majoring in computer science, his first circle of friends posted a link to a cartoon of the magical moment "The Adventures of Locke Kingdom".
"Rock Kingdom Adventure is my favorite cartoon, and as soon as the trailer came out, I shared it with my circle of friends." Xian Tao said that at that time, he was very naïve and liked to share everything related to happiness, but many circles of friends were later deleted.
"I'm glad the original intention has never changed."
"This is my first circle of friends, commemorating the end of my student days."
On July 10, 2014, Zhang Xin, who had just graduated from a college in Luoyang, received his first employment notice in his life, which was a design job, which was his profession, and he was excited to publish his first circle of friends.
Looking back at his past self, Zhang Xin sighed to reporters, both happy and full of gratitude, on the road to the workplace, his original intention has never changed.
But unlike his past self, what Zhang Xin wants to say most is that there is still some "infinite progress". Now Zhang Xin has been working and living in Hangzhou for many years, he found in the past survey that a considerable number of college students are confused about the planning after graduation, so he is very fortunate that he has found the correct positioning, and this circle of friends also always reminds him that he does not forget his original intention and adheres to his ideals.
"At that time, life was confused, and I didn't know what the ideal value was."
"I said boss, how much does a pound of dignity cost. I said come to the boss, how much is the ideal for a pound. Xiao Zhu, a 28-year-old hunan native, wrote a lyric from rock singer Li Zhi's first circle of friends, excerpted from "Six Pounds of Weng Qingnian" from the album "Will the World Be Better".
10 years ago, 18-year-old Xiao Zhu was still a junior and was in a confused stage of life. "In terms of feelings and job search, I didn't know how to choose at that time, and this state lasted for nearly 4 years." Xiao Zhu said that until he formed his own home now, he could survive the confused period that had plagued him for many years.
"We are all ordinary people, don't have so many ideals and ambitions, accept our own mediocrity, run our lives well now, and believe in the future is enough." 」 Xiao Zhu said.
"I have drifted away from my dreams."
Ten years ago, a 20-year-old Zhengzhou boy Yiang liked music and chased freedom, and on September 20, 2021, he posted two of his new instruments in the circle of friends, one was HAMMOND harmonica and the other was a guitar.
Ten years later, if he hadn't looked through the circle of friends, he would have almost forgotten that he was also a music maniac and had a musical dream.
Yi Ang has been working in the media in Zhengzhou for many years, and as a 3-year-old father, he has not touched an instrument for a long time. Looking back at the circle of friends, he sighed, and the circle of friends recorded the dream-chasing youth of his youth, and also recorded the exciting moments when he first became a father.
"Now, in addition to work, I will only occasionally post my daughter in the circle of friends to record her growth." Yi Ang said that before sending the circle of friends, he thought about the leaders, colleagues, parents, and deleted half of the text, "My dream when I was young has gradually drifted away." Family and work are the focus of my life. ”
【Interview Notes】
Many interviewees told reporters that until they looked at their circle of friends many years ago, they found that their dreams and lives had changed so much compared with the past. Some of them have entered a new stage of life, some are still confused, some are becoming more and more mature, and some are still childlike.
In the interview, they also said that the circle of friends that was once deleted or hidden, very little remained, as for the reasons for deletion, there are many. Or lost love, or depressed, or having an argument with someone important. In fact, looking back at the past, every moment of life is a part of life, and every circle of friends that records special moments and moods is the most unique mark at that time.
After interviewing the "Ten Years" of the circle of friends, there is an idea that gradually becomes clear in the reporter's mind: is it another kind of growth to resist not deleting the memories of life in the circle of friends and calmly accepting the "emotions" of the past?
