Douyin offers creative expression

Luo Li, a 24-year-old college student from Anhui province who seldom watched or shot 15-second short videos before, has recently become interested in shooting "finger dance" videos.

The finger dance allows people to use hand gestures to "dance", and has become popular on Douyin, a Chinese short video app currently in vogue, in the past few months.

Luo is among Douyin's 60 million active users who together contribute more than 4 billion video views on the platform every month.
