A woman who has lived in China for six years shared her experience online, stating that she has never regretted her decision to move to China. Initially, her family and friends were not supportive, but now they finally understand and appreciate the beauty of China. Recently, due to the Tik Tok ban in the United States, a large number of foreign users have flocked to the Chinese social platform Xiaohongshu, calling themselves "Tik Tok refugees." They have been engaging in friendly interactions with Chinese netizens, which has propelled Xiaohongshu to the top of the app download charts in the United States.

These foreign users introduce themselves with ease, often accompanied by awkward Chinese translations, and enthusiastically exchange ideas with Chinese netizens on topics such as pets, food, fashion, and employment. In doing so, they have initiated an "English Corner" on Xiaohongshu, where both Chinese and foreign users can find language learning partners.

On January 19th, the topic #American Netizens Are Ready to Grow Vegetables in Their Yards# trended. On January 18th, a netizen from Oregon, USA, expressed their intention to follow the advice of Chinese netizens and build greenhouses on the 10 acres of land around their house to grow vegetables. Chinese netizens warmly provided planting suggestions and technical guidance, and the American netizen had already cleared a plot of land to build a greenhouse.

In addition, American netizens have also learned skills such as cooking Chinese dishes on Xiaohongshu. Chinese netizens and food bloggers have been "teaching online," releasing bilingual video tutorials in both Chinese and English.

This kind of exchange not only astonishes American netizens with the beautiful landscapes and rich culture of China, but also promotes cultural exchange and understanding between the people of the two countries. In addition, reporters have found that several live chat rooms related to "Tik Tok refugees" have been launched. The participants are mostly overseas users from various countries who discuss topics related to Xiaohongshu, Chinese culture, and life. Some chat rooms have already attracted over 100,000 viewers per session. Maye Musk, Elon Musk's mother, has also opened an account on Xiaohongshu and posted several videos, sparking heated discussions among American netizens.
