A phenomenon known as "kuakuaqun"or "praise group" has taken Chinese social media by storm.The number of topics like this on Weibo has reached more than 23 million.Users can join a chat group on WeChat or QQ，where they are showered with varieties of generous praise and encouragement.
   Just imagine the scenes：You get an A in an exam and you want to get some praise.When you post it into a praise group，you are praised for not only your efforts but also being as clever as Albert Einstein.It's 10 p.m.jye.ai you are the only person in the office.You receive a reply， "You are so hardworking!You'll definitely get a higher position!Praise to you! "Even if you go to a toilet and forget taking some tissue，someone points out that "you're caring about trees and the environment!Good for you! "
   How would you feel？
   The appearance of "praise groups" provides an opportunity for ordinary people who cannot get positive feedback easily in their daily life to get comfort from their hears.It also shows the life and social pressure of today's young people.Moreover，the popularity of these chat groups is a reflection of Chinese culture which values modesty and humility - people often hide their true emotion of seeking and giving praise.As long as people's praise doesn't sound obviously untruthful，you're likely to welcome it.Sometimes，people enjoy praising others as well，just because here they can drop everything and have fun by giving lavish（夸 張 的）comments.However，some people are also willing to encourage and support others from their hearts.
   Some netizens（網民） shared their ideas， "I take it as a way of adjusting the mood.The praise group helps in adding our confidence.Some sincere praises can even be inspiring（鼓舞人心的）.However，if you're really in trouble，it is you who holds the final key. "Clearly，some dishonest praise comes at a cost.Chen Kan，an professor in Fudan University's psychology department warned that "The biggest risk is to continue to stress on the 'false self，which makes it harder to see the 'true self .In the end，people in the group will find that such unreasonable praise doesn't help solve the real problem.Soon the whole group will be silent and dead.
   Perhaps the praise groups are "a flash in the pan"，which might disappear sooner or later.No matter how you think of it，only when you can understand the pressure.criticism and praise correctly，will you face them bravely.Don't lose yourself in others' voices — that is what really matters.
