A Bei is the founder and the first user of Douban.
His initial motivation was simple. He wants to build a platform to share and communicate with others for his hobbies such as reading, traveling, watching exhibitions and listening to concerts.
Soon, the registered users of Douban exceeded 1 10,000, and the daily hits exceeded 200,000.
Douban has only been online for 9 months, with more than 50 million registered users.
It was not until February 23, 2006, the first anniversary of the establishment of Douban, that Abei welcomed his first official employee.
Now nearly 12 years have passed. You can come in and watch your favorite movies in Douban, start with books, videos and titles, make a comment, write a short comment and discuss the plot with people in the Q&A area. Because douban is a gathering place for young artists and the initiator and promoter of online fashion, it has gradually become an indispensable part of urban youth's life. This also makes Douban have great advantages in content, literature, audio-visual, academic, psychological and subculture.
After 20 13, Douban's film, book and music businesses all welcomed giant players. Douban only makes comments, while Cat's Eye, Reading Group and Tencent let users directly consume cultural content for comments and discussions. In any case, the core and essential things of Douban have never changed, which is commendable.
