Gao Bing from Binzhou, Shandong Province, shoots video of himself running through the streets that he live streams. The 29-year-old, who's divorced and has a son, is mute and doesn’t have a job. He regularly uses Kuaishou to earn a living.
LIVE video streaming may be all pass now, but one particular platform, Kuaishou, seems to be an exception.
The streaming platform hit the headlines last year with footages that showed a middle-aged woman swallowing non-edible stuff — light bulbs, live mealworms, glasses — among other things.
Woman Eat Weird Things
The footage was tracked to a Kuaishou account called Food Sister Feng with more than 130,000 followers, who is a 48-year-old woman living in Hebei Province and her hobby was to "eat weird things".
The footage sparked alarm online. Netizens speculated that she suffered from allotriophagia. Others believed she was kidnapped and coerced by a man, who could be heard — but not seen — in the footage.
Handan police, acting on the online controversy, said the man, 24, was the woman's son, and that they had both planned the livestream to "draw attention and make money".
People were astonished to find that many of the accounts on the site highlighted graphic, cruel self-abuse like eating hazardous things, lighting firecrackers on their bodies or binge drinking.
The most shocking aspect was not the outrageous stuff on offer, but that most of the account holders were basically from the countryside or small, remote cities and towns of China. As per their profiles, most of them were school dropouts or didn't have a stable job.
Child Marriages&Young Pregnant Girls
Even more worryingly was the accounts on child marriages. One such account, Born in 2000 and Mother-to-be, had pictures of a heavily pregnant girl, who claimed to be just 15 years of age. She said she was born in 2000, and her husband was a year older.
"My husband and I are both from Henan Province. The baby is a boy," the site posting said. "We are married ... the marriage certificate can wait."
Voice For the Neglected
Netizens called the young couple out, urging them to "go back to school." They said their marriage was "illegal because they were underage", and that having sex with girls under the age of 14 was "rape despite their own will" and "fetal gender determination is banned in China".
Soon after, several similar posts, reportedly of girls between 13 and 15 years of age, suddenly popped up — all of them pregnant.
It is obvious that Kuaishou thrives as a voice of a section of people neglected by society. Their poor education and the lack of well-paid jobs meant that Kuaishou offered them an alternate platform to attract public attention and improve their lives.
