Zine culture, with its many DIY forms of cultural expression such as text and pictures, has an important significance and role in spreading and developing local culture. Therefore, this paper will explore the connection between zine culture and local culture. Because of the unique features of zine culture, it provides a platform for local traditional culture to develop. Cultural diversity could be seen as the basis of a national cultural balance.

Many Internet media outlets refer to 2021 as the "Year of the Boom of Chinese Stand-up Comedy." The rapid development of stand-up comedy culture can be attributed to its chain-like creation and distribution mechanism. Comedy, rooted in jest and banter, allows individuals to unmask each other and revel in the happiness of free expression. However, behind this lighthearted facade lies the commodification of happiness, performance, and even the audience, all driven by the forces of capital and industrialized comedy production. This article examines Fu Hang's talk show videos on Douyin platform, employing text analysis, data analysis, and media criticism theories related to the cultural industry. By analyzing Fu Hang’s content, related videos, and audience engagement, this paper explores the commercialization embedded in the production and dissemination of his talk show videos. Ultimately, Fu Hang's stand-up comedy videos on Douyin exemplify how “laughter” is industrially produced in a manipulative, mechanical and commercial way.

This essay explores the dual themes of chaos and liberty in the immigrant experience by analyzing Charlie Chaplin's The Immigrant (1917) and its use of metaphor. Through the persona of the "Little Tramp," Chaplin employs metaphor to highlight the disparity between the harsh realities faced by immigrants upon arrival in America and the romanticized American Dream. The Tramp, a metaphor for the immigrant, traverses a world of exploitation, poverty, and uncertainty while exhibiting the fortitude and tenacity needed to thrive in a foreign country. The paper explores Chaplin's use of visual metaphors to illustrate the confusing and chaotic circumstances that many immigrants face, such as the Tramp's awkward interactions with his surroundings. The struggles of the people are contrasted with the metaphor of liberty. The Tramp's hardships are contrasted with the metaphor of liberty, highlighting the contrast between the difficulties of assimilation and the promise of freedom. Through an analysis of these metaphors, the paper makes the case that Chaplin both celebrates the immigrants' self-made efforts to achieve the American Dream and criticizes the socioeconomic circumstances of the era. This paper examines how Chaplin's use of metaphor enhances the film's emotional and thematic impact by providing a complex depiction of immigration that goes beyond its humorous surface.

With the acceleration of globalization, film, as an art form with wide influence, has become a bridge for cultural exchange and cognitive diversity. The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of cross-cultural communication in film artworks. Film is not only a carrier of culture but also an important tool for disseminating ideas, emotions, and social values. The study of cross-cultural communication reveals how film builds bridges between different cultures, helps audiences understand and embrace heterogeneous cultures, and promotes cultural identity and dialogue on a global scale.

In addition, the content development of the film has also received restrictions. The homogenization of themes and content limits the development of films and the performance of cross-cultural responsibilities to a certain extent.

With the rapid development of society, humans tend to live in an individualistic manner, with less connection to reality, and electronic devices have become necessities. Human entertainment methods are inseparable from the virtual world, and the development of human-computer interaction in the entertainment industry is imminent. However, technology, humanities, and other aspects still face many obstacles and challenges, as well as negative impacts such as privacy leaks, cyberbullying, and information overload from virtual network identities. This article analyzes the technical limitations, social and cultural constraints, and issues of connection between the virtual and real worlds that human-computer interaction faces in this field. Based on the analysis above, it is suggested that human-computer interaction technology should pay more attention to user experience, co-creation of content, personalized services, and user stickiness to meet challenges and fully utilize future opportunities. In the future, human-computer interaction technology will become more intelligent personalized, and people-centered to address the ever-evolving needs of users, providing safe, fun, and interactive entertainment experiences.

Representing and expressing animals in nature through words is one of the literary traditions in ancient and modern times. The writing of animals in New Period literature has emerged as a remarkable literary phenomenon in the history of contemporary Chinese literature. This paper focuses on the novels of Bi Feiyu, a significant "late-generation" writer of New Period literature. It analyzes the various aspects and connotations of his animal writing from two basic themes: the countryside and the city. In his rural novels, animals carry the trauma and fear of the era, symbolize the imagination of freedom, and reveal the distortion of human nature by power. In urban novels, animals reflect the mental illnesses of urban residents. Meanwhile, through the comparison with other two writers with outstanding manifestations in animal writing, considering the author's self-expression regarding animals, humans, life, and humanity, this paper explores how animals, as literary devices, integrate with the author's growth experience and life, thus forming Bi Feiyu's unique animal writing centered around humanity.

In recent years, the rapid development of the Internet has made it more convenient for the public to access all kinds of information. However, the number of people avoiding news is gradually increasing. The phenomenon of news avoidance is becoming increasingly common worldwide and is regarded as another challenge to the development of the news industry, leading to the decline of journalism's public nature. Nonetheless, the positive effects of news avoidance should not be overlooked. In order to explore the possibility of positive utilization of news avoidance, this paper defines the positive utilization of news avoidance by reviewing the existing literature based on the definition, classification, causes and impacts of news avoidance. The research finds that the public's short-term news avoidance behavior helps to reduce exposure to the news with negative content or of low quality, thereby effectively reducing the generation and development of individual negative emotions. That is, the public can achieve self-protection by positively utilizing news avoidance behavior.

This study discuss the integration of internet resources into the learning process of Chinese international high school students, emphasizing their reliance, perceptions, and challenges in digital learning environments. Through a investigations of 536 students, the research reveals that 73.69% of respondents utilize internet resources daily, with social media (28.63%), educational videos (27.02%), and academic papers (25.4%) serving as primary tools. While 77.8% of participants acknowledge the significant positive impact of online resources on learning outcomes, persistent technical issues (reported by 290 respondents) and concerns over content quality (357 respondents) hinder optimal utilization. Notably, attitudes toward replacing traditional methods remain divided, with 46.08% supporting online alternatives and 40.67% expressing skepticism. The findings underscore an "information literacy imbalance," where students heavily access non-academic platforms but lack strategic evaluation skills. The study advocates for improved technical infrastructure, curated content systems, and targeted digital literacy training to address gaps in accessibility and efficacy. These calls aim to foster inclusive, cross-cultural educational environments that align with evolving technological demands, ultimately bridging the divide between resource availability and effective pedagogical integration.
