Using stickers seem to become a prevailing phenomenon among younger people in China. When they use Wechat chatting with their friends, they are willing to sent stickers. Sticker has become a new trend or even a new cultural among younger Chinese people.
"I'm ready!" |
Different with Emoji, younger Chinese people prefer those stickers with words on it. Possibly, that is because stickers can offer images, which can summary current moods and emotions and are more succinct.
I was one of those who made stickers by their own. When I saw any photos or pictures with an interesting expression, I would download the pictures and edit them with adding words on them and finally add them into my stickers in Wechat. My friends would use my stickers as well and that brought more fun to our conversations.

"Who allowed you to sent sticker?!" |
In addition, some of those sticker users will make stickers by themselves. One popular source is some famous stars and popular cartoon characters. The sticker users would choose some of the interesting photographs or pictures and might add words or even sentences on them.
With more and more people using stickers, there is a new kind of conversations among younger people in China, it called “The stickers battle”. Since there are words and sentences on stickers, people could communicate by only using stickers. Always, people in “The sticker battle” are making fun of each other by dissing people. The word “diss” here does not mean in a bad way. Basically, only people with their close friends would have this “sticker battle”.
Personally, stickers make the conversations with my friends become more interesting and we all like stickers.
