Confession after research...

  Yu Kunze, a university student in Zhejiang Province, was moved when he saw this document and wrote about his own learning experience to encourage graduate students in Xi'an.

In his view, this document is very special. It provides a "valley of shouts" for young people, pays attention to people's psychological needs, and gives everyone affected by the epidemic room to express their emotions.

The creator was inspired by the Henan torrential rain "help document"

  The creators of this heart-warming document are 5 students from Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts.

They come from arts and crafts majors, art history theory majors, musicology majors, preschool art education majors, and visual communication design majors.

  At 0:00 on December 23, the village groups and units in the Xi'an City community began to implement closed management, and the major universities in Xi'an were also "closed."

In this case, young students in Xi'an are worried about postgraduate entrance examinations and holiday arrangements.

  One of the founders, Yang Zhuofan, a 2018 arts and crafts student at Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts, is a campus media person.

Since the outbreak of the Xi'an epidemic, he has been thinking: "How to use the knowledge learned to do something for Xi'an to fight the epidemic? What can you do as a school matchmaker?"

  At around nine o'clock in the evening on December 22, Yang Zhuofan asked his friends what platform could cross the limitations of time and space for everyone to share their stories and bring some warmth and comfort to the people of Xi'an.

  Inspired by the "life-saving documents" during heavy rains in Henan, my friend Wu Yifan proposed that online documents can be used.

  "It was originally just my wishful thinking, but what I didn't expect was that I got the enthusiastic support and promotion of my friends." Yang Zhuofan said.

  Soon, everyone began to work together.

It took about three hours to discuss details, assign work, and plan for meetings. It took more than two hours to make pictures, modify and process them several times until they showed satisfactory results.

From the budding of the idea to the creation of the document, it was busy from 9pm on the 22nd to 3am on the 23rd.

In the end, on this cold night, a heart-warming document titled "Emo tonight, Xi'an is listening to you" appeared on the Internet.

  Yang Zhuofan told The Paper that the team initially consisted of 4 undergraduates, namely Wu Yifan, who was responsible for planning and structure, Guan Yijun, who was responsible for overall coordination, and Lin Zhaoxi, who was responsible for creation and management, and he was responsible for copywriting.

Later, because of visual needs, Wang Mulan, a graduate student who studied design, also joined the team.

  Wu Yifan said that in addition to realizing the rapid circulation and exchange of the items that everyone needs, the purpose of making this document is to provide a "warm harbor".

  Unlike previous mutual assistance documents, this heart-warming document adds elements such as paintings and pictures.

Most of the team members are art students. They believe that in addition to words, painting is also a way of expression. Perhaps painting can convey more emotions.

  The first version of this heart-warming document has only two modules, namely "Here Come and Die" (Message Tree Hole) and "Painting Relay Recreation Area" (Painting Section).

  Considering that the document needs to spread and spread, and the painting has limitations, the "painting relay recreation area" is allowed to be added to the emoticon pack.

After asking the users about their feelings, they opened the "Power Generation Mutual Aid Zone for Love" module so that those in need can fill in their own needs and information.

"Postgraduate entrance examination" and "love" are high-frequency words in the message

  At 5 a.m. on the 23rd, two hours after the creation and release of the heart-warming document, malicious people flooded in.

  When Yang Zhuofan was browsing and maintaining the document, he found that someone deliberately deleted other people's messages and replaced them with his own ID and comments.

"At that time, the size of the document was relatively small. I found this situation and I would manually modify and proofread it." Yang Zhuofan said, after discovering the problem, he took screenshots of all the original content and put it in the album, and saw suspected changes or If it is deleted, find out the pictures in the album and re-type the original content.

  The other members of the team are involved in the operation and maintenance work.

They did not specify the specific duty time, but they would log in to the document tacitly, and when they saw the avatar in the upper left corner, they knew that someone else had come to maintain the document, and the person who was replaced would be offline for a period of time. Four members maintain the document online at the same time It also happens from time to time.

  From 11pm to 12pm on the 23rd, Yang Zhuofan and his team members found that many people in Moments had reposted this document. In the group chat, they also saw some people who did not know promoted the document.

  "We suddenly realized that this document has been spread far, reaching a corner of the world that we could not imagine. In the third section, there are many students leaving messages from schools. In the beginning, it was basically the messages of students from colleges and universities in Xi'an. What follows is the messages of students from various colleges and universities in Shaanxi Province, and then to other provinces, then to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and then to foreign countries." Yang Zhuofan said.

  As more and more people entered the online document browsing and leaving messages, document maintenance and management were under great pressure, and the method of screenshot comparison could no longer be used, so the team members adopted the method of regular backup to maintain the operation of the document.

  The most common topic in the comments is the postgraduate entrance examination, there are anxiety about the postgraduate entrance examination, and a lot of warm encouragement; followed by love, there are concerns about the lover who is trapped in Xi’an and can’t leave, there is the longing for the people who never forget, and the test The confession after the study...

"Too many beautiful stories are gathered here."

  Wu Yifan said that due to the epidemic, the paint purchased by a student who was about to enter the postgraduate entrance examination could not be delivered on time, so she put the message on the top of the help section of the document, and later found that the contact information of many painting shops appeared in the message.
