Back then, Xiao Zhang finished watching idol dramas such as "Smiling Pasta" and "The Wedding Dress of Heaven" starring Wang Xinling. "She was so popular in school back then. This time she appeared on stage again. It didn't feel much change in her memory. It was sweet and reminded me of the past."

This time she returned to the stage with her famous song, which also made this album popular on second-hand platforms. A ten-year-old fan of her sold some posters and soundtracks on a second-hand platform, with prices ranging from 200 yuan to 600 yuan.

Now there are many of her albums and peripherals at home, and the albums are all kept in the drawer by him and are well preserved. "No one bought these things before, but now the price has risen exponentially. As an old fan, I will follow them every episode of "Riding the Wind and Waves", but I didn't buy stocks. I hope she will be popular again, but she won't be too popular, and she is in a complicated mood."
Why is the sweet sister popular? Nostalgia blesses traffic
Li Xiaoyu, vice dean and professor of the School of Journalism and Communication, Nanjing University, told the Modern Express reporter that Wang Xinling's popularity has a certain relationship with nostalgia. It is not difficult to find some reports related to Wang Xinling that the emphasis on her sweet face and girlish style has not changed. It can be seen that Wang Xinling has become a nostalgic cultural symbol that inspires public memories.It is precisely because of the blessing of time that those who have not paid much attention to her in the past ten years have reached their past memories through songs. "Songs are the easiest to take people through time and space. What fans miss are probably who they were back then, so all kinds of emotions will surge in their hearts."
However, for how long this wave of popularity will last, Li Xiaoyu believes that it depends on whether she can continue to inspire public love, such as whether there are other outputs, etc.
is not difficult to find that unlike the young star-chasing family, most of Wang Xinling’s fans are born in the 1980s and 1990s. In Li Xiaoyu's view, the two fan groups also have differences. "In the process of chasing stars, a very important part of young people is chasing the future, but for stars represented by Wang Xinling, fans are more nostalgic. The essence of nostalgia is that everyone hopes that things in time will not change, while young people chase stars are hoping that their idols will become better."
Professor Zhou Qin of the School of Economics and Management of Southeast University said that Wang Xinling is a collective memory of people in the 1980s and 1990s. He believes that several main reasons are that Wang Xinling has become a traffic leader again. "First of all, Wang Xinling has a certain fan base; secondly, the content that is spread is recognized by modern people, especially young people of the same era; the content that is spread must adapt to the laws of new media communication, such as fragmentation and fast pace; finally, there is also a team to promote and hype."
