The domestic department comprehensively describes the ecological environment of mobile wireless network communities in the Mobile Phone Nocturnal City. This book is called the "China's manuscript of mobile phone literature," collecting original works of mobile phone literature, forum experiences, and some classic life and emotional stories from three million members from the largest mobile community in China – the "Nocturnal City" community. It is the result of interviewing hundreds of new and old users of the "Nocturnal City" and organizing millions of posts. At the same time, it comprehensively explores the sociological significance derived from mobile phone culture.
With the rapid development of mobile phones and mobile virtual communities, a special form of literary creation – mobile phone literature – is quietly emerging. Unlike other forms of creation, mobile phones are limited by input speed but can transcend the boundaries of time and space, making them concise and direct in reaching the heart. Like online literature in the past, mobile phone literature will occupy an increasingly important position in the field of literary creation and, in turn, influence the existing literary ecosystem. The connection between mobile phone literature and traditional publications reflects this trend.
Mobile Phone Nocturnal City comprehensively explains the emergence and development of mobile phone literature and provides a valuable reference text for exploring popular culture. The "virtual community" on the mobile platform has become a space for communication, transportation, and entertainment for tens of millions of users, and even a supplement to real life. Mobile phone literature has also formed rapidly on this carrier. Due to the limitations of mobile phones, mobile phone literature tends to develop in more group-oriented and personal directions, with the direction of text (even images and videos) becoming more clear – which leads to a significant deviation in understanding the boundaries of mobile phone literature. Only those who are immersed in it can feel its charm and power, and this boundary is very different from the concept of "circles" in other industries – as long as you have a mobile phone with internet access, you can immediately join it.
Currently, more than 30 million people are "living" on mobile phones in China, a level that most people are unaware of, but those who are immersed in it do not want to leave. China already has over 200 million mobile phone users, most of whom have begun to move closer to the "living space" on mobile phones through ringtones and wallpaper downloads. When we can no longer live without mobile phones, we will truly realize that this platform has expanded our vision and scope of communication to infinity.
The Nocturnal City is one of the largest virtual communities on mobile phones. In over two years, more than three million users have become its "citizens," performing the same love, hate, joy, sorrow, and separation as in real life. If these "citizens" are virtual, they are more real than the virtual of the Internet. If they are real, they are hidden behind a much larger mobile internet.
The words in the book are merely the expression of emotions or thoughts of specific people at specific times. Only a part of the content is selected here, but it does not hinder us from entering their world to experience the legends and highlights, the vividness and helplessness within.
