As the threat of a TikTok ban looms, many TikTok users worldwide have downloaded and turned to Xiaohongshu, a popular Chinese social media platform, for their daily dose of entertainment and information.
Known for its unique content-sharing model and strong community atmosphere, Xiaohongshu has gained traction among younger Chinese users seeking fresh perspectives.
On Jan 15, the official account of the Weifang public security bureau in Shandong province posted an English video titled "Reminder from Chinese Police: Six facts that must be told to your children before they turn 18" on Xiaohongshu. This short video has sparked discussions among a multitude of netizens both domestically and internationally, with global users actively engaging and leaving comments.
Some lauded the practicality of the advice provided in the video and expressed gratitude for the insights shared. A Canadian mom say, "No police officer in Canada ever gave me this kind of life advice! All they told me was: lock the door and stop, drop and roll."
Additionally, some other users said they would share the recommendations with their children and personally adhere to the guidelines themselves.
