Nanan has lived in Beijing for 7 years, and she has many acquaintances,
but very few friends. Last month, she went to her hometown to hold her
wedding ceremony. When she came back, she found that she could not find
anybody in Beijing to share the joy with her.
As a matter of fact, with the advancement of communication, it is easy
for people to get to know each other; however, people seem to exchange
feelings and ideas with each other less and less.
In a survey conducted by Tencent and China Youth Daily, nearly 87.5
percent of all 15,068 responders feel in the same way.
About 45.3 percent say that each of them has less than 5 friends. Another
34.3 percent have more, about 6 to 10 each. In other words, nearly 80
percent of responders have no more than 10 friends. In contrast, about 56
percent of them have more than 50 acquaintances, even more than 100.
Most of responders believe the mobility of the society is the main cause
of the loss of friendship, as many people have to move from place to
place to make a living. More than half of them think pressure should also
be responsible, as it deprives people of chances of communication between
each other. One quarter of them blame cyber-friendship, as it actually
cuts the exchange of real emotions.
