“啊？”当选bilibili年度弹幕

Bullet comments（弹幕） — comments which fly across the screen on certain video platforms — represent a modern approach to communication that young people use in cyberspace（网络空间） to express their ideas， emotions and feelings. When looking back， however， they are a good reminder of what was hot or trending in the past year.

On December 15， 2023， bilibili， a Chinese video-sharing platform， picked “Ah？” as the Bullet Comment of the Year in association with Art Exhibitions China and the National Museum of Chinese Writing. In 2023， “Ah？” appeared more than 13.2 million times on bilibili as a bullet comment， according to Dazhong Daily.

Today， young people in China use “Ah？” to express their surprise and amazement. User Mo Xin filmed himself writing down the ancient Chinese text Hard Is the Road to Shu（《蜀道难》） in one stroke（一笔） and then uploaded（上传） the video to bilibili. This feat（壮举） resulted in the video winning the most “Ah？” bullet comments on the platform.

China’s huge technological developments have also caused “Ah？” comments from bilibili users. In August 2023， China made a breakthrough in controllable nuclear fusion（可控核聚变） technology. Its new-generation “artificial sun” Huanliu-3 looks to open new doors in the world of nuclear fusion. Videos announcing this news were inundated（淹没） in “Ah？” comments.

“Ah？” has even found its way into an exhibition at China’s National Museum of Chinese Writing. “Ah？” shows the changes in Chinese characters that people use to express their ideas in the modern age， according to Beijing Times.

Though simple and easy to remember， “Ah？” provides insights into young people’s interests. Their focus extends beyond only entertainment， however. They also use “Ah？” to engage with commentaries， news， and scientific discoveries， indicating a deeper， more serious layer of interest. These “Ah？” comments reveal that young people are attentive（注意的） to the world around them. “Ah？” has become their unique way of responding to contemporary events， using it as a tool to document today’s history.

Every year brings a new bullet comment of the year， but what never changes is how young people want their voices to be heard. Bilibili’s users are mainly young people. Understandably， young people use “Ah？” to express themselves. It is part of their memory， their youth and their thoughts. Do you still remember which video got you to send an “Ah？” in 2023？
