My research mainly focuses on how northeast Chinese living overseas build online communities through media (short video platforms) and draw Internet groups through the media. In essence, it reflects the short video creation of overseas people seeking cultural identity through the Internet, and forming online communities. I want to express the current situation of population loss in northeast China and arouse the audience’s attention and reflection.The exhibition is divided into two parts. The first part introduces traditional customs of Northeast China, documentary of workers and short video on Internet platform through three screens of different sizes. Mobile phone screens, television screens, and movie projections correspond to depictions of the Northeast in different periods.

The second part is the reconstruction of life in northeast China, providing an immersive experience through the return of interior life scenes, cotton clothes with special patterns, textbooks used to stick on the wall, yellow peach cans with special meaning. Different items are placed to reflect the particularity, and the video projection of life in northeast China is played in the central part. Used to explain the past living habits and daily work of northeast people.This exhibition is open to all groups of people. When visitors visit the complete exhibition, they will have a basic understanding of the current situation of northeast China and its culture.
