Welcome to Time Speak, your digital haven for exploring Chinese slang and memes.
Being DigitalIdentityCommunicationPlay

Welcome to Time Speak, your digital haven for exploring Chinese slang and memes. We invite you to join us in sharing captivating memes and slang (To ensure the safety and cultural positivity of our platform, our team reviews uploaded content).

The continuous emergence of new slang and memes and their integration into daily communication not only marks a shift in how language is used and perceived but also in how personal and collective memories are formed and shared. Envisioned as a monument or archival repository, this platform plays a crucial role in chronicling changes in popular language and documenting societal and generational evolution, along with embedded individual and collective memories. The collection and analysis of internet slang offers a lens through which the impacts of social media on language and communication can be observed, reflecting on whether these changes enrich our linguistic landscape or challenge the integrity of our linguistic heritage.

Our digital museum boasts three distinctive sections: Party, Museum, and Voting. In the Party section, users engage in real-life settings, participating in community activities such as internet slang-themed parties. The Museum section allows users to explore the origins, popularity backgrounds, and meanings of each slang on the timeline, adding favourites to personal collections. Finally, the Voting section showcases the quarterly selection of the most beloved slang and memes.
