Chinese Emoji Circles Globe

“Funny”，a made­in­China emoji，seems to have recently moved beyond China.Now，it is more than an emoji，but a cultural expansion.

Reaching Global Markets

A series of“funny”emoji­based bolsters(抱枕) have attracted the attention of Japanese customers.Even if one bolster is more than three times as expensive as in China，it doesn't kill their desires to buy it.One Japanese customer Miki said，“They are just so cute and I bought three bolsters at one time.And every time I see them，my mood just brightens suddenly.”A Japanese netizen Kiro Kara said，“My dad will send it whenever he doesn't agree with someone but he has to behave politely.”

Addition to Domestic Social Media

One commonly seen online comment from Chinese netizens is，“Every time other people send me the emoji，I feel very uncomfortable and consider myself as a fool.”

Released in 2013，the“funny” emoji is the updated version of its original one；“funny”has a slightly opened mouth，two eyebrows and a naughty look.All these characteristics present users with a sense of satire(讽刺)．

In Everyday Use Abroad

Earlier this year，one emoji from a Chinese basketball celebrity Yao Ming，who played in the USA，has been spread through the Middle East region.In a city in Egypt，Yaos smiling emoji has appeared in local traffic signs to remind people the road ahead is one­way.

As a new online language，emojis have been helping people express their views in a more vivid and precise way.Also，it can help foreigners learn about Chinese culture.But how to use“the fifth innovation in China”without hurting others and turn them into commercial advantages still needs answers.

(2023·绵阳中学期中) At a comedy night at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland，members of the school's Stand­Up Comedy Club bring lots of laughter to their classmates with funny speeches and humorous body movements.These college students' humour entertains busy，young people and eases their stress.

Yet the club member Ariella Shua says comedy is serious work.Every comedy starts as an individual project—each member writes their own material.Then they try it out in weekly club meetings where all club members read the material，go joke by joke and see what works and what doesn't.Nothing unsatisfactory will be compromised (妥协)．In this way comes a satisfying comedy.

Ariella joined the club last year.Now she does not go anywhere without bringing something on which she can take notes.“Whenever I just have a thought in my head that seems like ‘Oh，

this is strange.’or when I see something or overhear someone saying something in the library，I just put it down，”Ariella explained.“Later，when I'm trying to write my own material，I go through my notes to see if there is anything that I can use.”

President of the Stand­Up Comedy Club Nicholas Scandura finds that writing is one of the many skills he has developed since joining the club.“Writing jokes is really fun and it takes a lot of critical thinking，”he said.The club gives its members a sense of community.When they meet，they share funny experiences，tell jokes and laugh.

Over the past ten years，stand­up comedy clubs have become common on college campuses in America.Nicholas said，“Now everyone wants to do it because the culture of stand­up has gotten a lot of media attention and become more popular.”

Last year，Harry Kuperstein joined the club and discovered the club was a natural fit.Noticing the funny qualities of different situations improved his way of looking at the world.Becoming an active member also helped him work on the future skills he would need as a medical doctor.“Having jokes ready to go might help smooth over interactions between doctors and patients and make you a better public speaker，”he said.
