HANOI: A teenager on Hang Dau street in downtown Hanoi took out his phone and started to shoot a video of an old homeless woman who was sitting under the awning of a store.Dao Duy Nam, a junior student at Hanoi University of Science and Technology, says that he filmed the old woman to share her story online on TikTok.

“I hope that people will see it and come and give her some donations,” Nam says, adding that many disadvantaged people were offered help after similar videos went viral on the platform.

TikTok, known as Douyin in China and developed by Beijing-based startup Bytedance, is an app for making and sharing short videos, generally from 15 to 60 seconds long. The videos are usually set to music, often featuring someone cooking, dancing, doing a trick or lip-syncing. Globally, TikTok was the third most downloaded app in the first quarter of this year, according to the United States-based market research firm, Sensor Tower.

Vietnam is among the fastest growing South-East Asian markets for TikTok users, with the platform registering 12 million regular users by the end of March. “Watching TikTok videos is my daily hobby,” says Trinh Thi Khanh Ngoc, a college student in Hanoi, before adding that she has been cutting down time spent on Facebook and YouTube and switching to TikTok, just like many of her friends. — China Daily/Asia News Network
