    Cyber-Celebrity Culture is Warping Chinese Youth
    The recent online debut of a new girl band, who calls themselves "Sunshine", has made waves on the interwebs. These teens, with their "unattractive" and "fat" appearance and laughably bad singing skills, induce ferocious criticism, but at the same time, thrive on it.
    This, of course, is not the first time that ugly, untalented wannabe celebrities have made headlines in China. Back in 2006, Furong Jiejie ("Sister Lotus"), a 20-something woman in Bening, posted her narcissistic pictures of plump figure, plain face and inelegant dance moves. Those won her a nationwide following as well as paid appearances on television.
    Surely enough, after Sister Lotus started appearing on prime-time television, a whole slew of copycat "ugly" girls also started blogging about themselves. And following Sunshine’s explosion on social media, numerous new bands like "Power Girls" "Love-wings" and "Superstar" starring average-looking adolescent girls started popping up on people’s mobiles.
    Some people think that this kind of grass roots self-promotion is fantastic for Chinese youth who may not otherwise have any opportunities or privileges to get them ahead in China’s competitive society, but for those middle-class kids who come from good backgrounds and receive excellent educations, there is a rising concern among parents that social networking is distracting these kids from academics. What’s worse, they also fear that the narcissistic addictions of the students to social media will interfere with learning knowledge and real-life skills, leaving an entire generation of wired youth with absolutely no other recourse once their online followers forget about them.

答案     The Negative Effects of Wanghong Effect
    China is witnessing the internet swarming with wanghong, the grass-root internet celebrities who win nationwide popularity by pulling stunts. Some people deem this as a good way for these wanghong to get themselves known. But for parents of students who receive good educations, they fret over the distractions of the social networking on their children that may eventually leave them with no real-life skills and knowledge to survive in the future. As far as I am concerned, this wanghong effect will exert negative influences on our society.
    To begin with, the internet celebrities’ behaviors convey wrong values to children or teenagers. A majority of internet celebrities attract their followers by conducting delirious, dangerous activities, making cynical remarks about things people hold a grudge against, showing off their wealth, or even worse, displaying violence and sex. This will undeniably shape the kids’ values in a negative way. What’s more, wanghong effect poses a threat to the social order. For example, the recent news has it that some wanghong dined on an underground train during rush hours. This not only presents a threat to other passengers’ safety, but also breaches the traffic rules.
    In conclusion, I think the wanghong effect will exert negative influences on our society.
