What do you usually do in your spare time? Chatting online is now a national pastime(消遣) in China, especially among the post-90s and post-00s generation. To some people, however, online chats can seem like a kind of polite conversation. Yet hidden rules do exist(存在), as long as you take the time to look for them.

Get to the Point

When sending a friend request, include your real name and any other identifying(身份辨别) information. Remember, everybody's time is valuable. If there's something you want, cut right to the chase. Never send an "Are you there?" without any follow-up messages. The quicker that you get to the point, the more likely the other person is to reply.

Send the Right Things

Please send texts, not voice messages. It might be easier for you to speak than type, but what about the person on the other end? They may be unable to listen to a 59-second message right now. Also, never send information by voice message—it is hard to note down. Emojis(表情符号) and GIFs can save the day when you find yourself in an embarrassing conversation, or words fail you.

Try to Understand

You can always judge a person's mood by their text messages. If the person you're talking to says "Good night" or "I'm going to take a shower", that's probably not what they're actually going to do. It is just an excuse to stop talking to you. If someone waits for longer than three seconds before saying "Yes", they probably really mean "No". If you receive these emojis from friends who are older, read them literally (照字面地) (such as a smile or a wave). For the post-90s and post-00s generation, however, they could be speechlessness(无语).
