From the moment we were born, our parents accompanied us and were our first friends in life, but in the days of growing up, our parents became the most familiar strangers, which is the current situation of most young people. We can show strangers who have many faces of daily life, but keep our parents who know ourselves best out.
The "old friends" have been gone for a long time, and it is time to get them back.
On the occasion of the Chongyang Festival, Douyin and Health China launched the "Hello Friends" campaign, which aims to bring young people and elders closer together through multiple ways of playing. @Jia Pingwa, @Witty Uncle Dong Hao, @Zhang Chenguang, @Yang Yuying, @Zhu Xun, @Fangyang Xinxin, @ Duo Yu and Mao Maojie and other star masters all participated in the activities to guide more young people to communicate with their elders.
A video that recreates the care of elders for their children
Have you ever wondered when the distance between you and your parents came about? Douyin released a video called "Hello Friends", in which there are three pairs of children who have become strangers to their parents because of the generation gap, the good news is not reported, and the cultural differences are restored, restoring the real scene of young people and their parents getting along. At the same time, from the perspective of parents, it restores the parents' meticulous concern for their children, so that the younger generation can see the love that was previously ignored. Many people wept over it.
"Have you eaten", "What are you doing", "When will you go home" are high-frequency words for parents and juniors, and elders who cannot integrate into the social circle of young people can only express their concern for their children in the most clumsy way. However, these occasional concerns may become a burden for the younger generations.
In the Vibrato video of @Witty Uncle Dong Hao, he truly reproduced such a father-daughter daily life for everyone. The father wanted to ask his daughter when she would come home for the holidays, but her daughter, who was struggling with her work, was very impatient when she picked up the phone, and hung up the phone without saying a few words. The father was not affected by his daughter's emotions, but worried that his daughter was too busy to eat, and quietly ordered a takeaway for her. This unrequited love from parents is often overlooked as children. We often leave the worst emotions to the people who love us the most.
@Zhang Chenguang Also in the "Hello Friends" Douyin activity video, showing the father image that has become a father who is now in a state of speechlessness because he and his children's life circle is getting farther and farther away. This is also the dilemma that many parents are encountering.
Douyin master @ Duo Yu and Mao Maojie In the "Hello Friends" video, I invited my mother to participate in my usual plot video recording, so that my mother could feel her daily work. Mao Maojie's mother also said a lot of elders' voices, as a parent always nagging the child, because she wants to let the child have the best everything, afraid that he will be hurt a little. The two generations eventually participate in each other's lives together in the form of video conversations, truly understand each other, and move toward each other.
Some of the elders on Douyin also shared their difficulties with the next generation from their perspectives, speaking the voices of many elders and allowing the children to re-examine the relationship between each other.
Young people's tricks let the elders into our lives
Many young people also take the opportunity of the Chongyang Festival to experience the life of young people with their elders, and narrow the distance between the two generations.
Douyin master @ Cai Yun On the day of the Chongyang Festival, he took his grandmother and cousin to take an ancient style photo. Although Grandma is already 121 years old, it still does not affect her photo expression, and has produced many costume blockbusters. Under the arrangement of their granddaughter, the two old people spent a novel and happy Chongyang Festival.
Douyin master @ Zihao Grandma, under the encouragement of the younger generations, tried the most popular way of playing Douyin: disguise. At first, ZiHao's grandmother did not understand the meaning of cross-dressing, thinking that it was "casual clothes" that were casually worn. After filming the cross-dressing video, ZiHao's grandmother said that it was too interesting and hoped that she could celebrate the festival every day in the future. A cross-dressing game that bridges the communication between the elderly and children.
The elders had fun and the children had fun. Who says that as a child grows older, the generation gap with parents will deepen? Through a series of interactive and creative props, the Douyin #Hello Friends campaign has invisibly shortened the gap between the two generations and made them close friends again.
Chongyang Festival, see old friends again
Don't let care cool down in silence, don't let intimacy gradually bury in silence. The original intention of the Douyin Chongyang Festival #Hello Friends the original intention of the activity is to hope that young people will attach importance to the relationship with their parents, let Douyin become a medium for linking children and elders, and encourage children to record happy moments of interaction with their parents with the lens, take them to feel a new way of life, and further enter each other's lives.
As the video in "Hello Friends" puts it, "When they choose to love us across the digital divide, they find that we have already closed the door." If you see their stories, you also think of the elders in your own family, please don't forget that the Chongyang Festival, the best respect for the elderly, is to let them into your life. ”
