Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

After Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer went through untold hardships and finally decided on the topic of "The influence of virtual idols on teenagers' values", they could not relax for a moment and immediately plunged into the work of collecting and organizing information.

Although they were full of confidence and enthusiasm, they soon found themselves in an endless ocean of information. Every step forward was full of hardship and confusion, making them unable to tell the directions.

Although the road ahead is full of unknowns and thorns, their determination to move forward has never wavered. They continue to move forward step by step, braving the wind and rain.

Before the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the dormitory, Gu Fanxing had already sat down at the desk, turned on the computer, and began searching various databases for literature related to virtual idols and youth values.

Her eyes were fixed on the screen, her fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard. Keyword after keyword was entered, but she often only got a large amount of disorganized search results, which made her efforts only produce half the result with twice the effort, and greatly undermined her confidence and perseverance.

Fortunately, Gu Fanxing has the indomitable spirit of a cockroach, which allows him to persevere and keep going after repeated disappointments.

"Why is there so much irrelevant information?" Every time at this time, Gu Fanxing couldn't help but complain.

She had to spend a lot of time and energy to screen out those truly valuable articles and reports.

Some documents require payment to obtain the full text, and the most frustrating thing is often that after paying to read, you still can't find anything useful, wasting money and time, and the result is nothing, which is very frustrating.

At the same time, Ling Jiuer was running around in the school library.

Her thin figure shuttled between the bookshelves in the library, looking for books that might be useful.

However, there are very few books about virtual idols in libraries, and most of them are superficial introductions that are of little help in conducting in-depth research into the impact on teenagers’ values.

"Is there no more professional and in-depth information?" Ling Jiuer said to herself anxiously.

As she walked between the bookshelves, she kept checking the list of books in her hand, fearing that she would miss any book that might be useful.

After a few days, the two had collected some information, but it was far from enough to support their thesis.

Moreover, the quality of these materials varied greatly and the opinions expressed were inconsistent, which made them very confused.

"Xingxing, some of these materials say that virtual idols have a positive impact on teenagers' values, while others say they have a negative impact. What should we do?" Ling Jiuer looked at Gu Fanxing with a worried look on her face.

Gu Fanxing rubbed his temple and said, "We can't just believe blindly. We need to critically analyze and integrate these data. First, classify them according to different viewpoints, and then carefully study their argumentation process and basis."

So, the two of them started a new round of data sorting work.

This is an extremely tedious and boring task that requires great patience and carefulness.

They read each document word by word, took detailed notes, and annotated and analyzed the ideas and data in the materials.

Gu Fanxing found that some studies had small sample sizes and their conclusions lacked universality; others had flaws in their research methods, resulting in unreliable results.

She had to exclude this information and look for more convincing evidence.

Ling Jiuer also encountered many problems.

The professional terms in some foreign literature gave her a headache, and she had to look up the dictionary while struggling to understand the content of the article.

Moreover, due to differences in cultural backgrounds between countries and regions, the applicability of some foreign research results in China also needs to be carefully considered.

"Oh, I am completely confused after reading this document. I feel like my knowledge reserves are totally inadequate!" Ling Jiuer threw the foreign document in her hand aside in frustration.

Gu Fanxing comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, we will work together slowly. These difficulties are only temporary, as long as we persist, there will always be gains."

In order to obtain more first-hand information, Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer decided to search for relevant cases and investigation data on the Internet.

They joined fan communities of various virtual idols, trying to understand their true thoughts and feelings through communication with fans.

However, the information in the fan community is mixed and it is difficult to distinguish true from false. Some fans are too enthusiastic and their comments lack rationality and objectivity; some deliberately exaggerate the influence of virtual idols to attract the attention of others.

"This information is too confusing. How can we filter out the useful ones?" Ling Jiuer felt at a loss as to where to start.

Gu Fanxing thought for a moment and said, "We must keep a clear head and analyze and judge from multiple angles.

We should be wary of overly extreme statements and pay attention to those that are based on facts and have clear logic.”

In the fan community, they also encountered some misunderstanding and questioning voices.

"Why are you researching this? Virtual idols are our spiritual sustenance, how can they have such a huge influence!" a fan said dissatisfiedly.

"That's right, don't mess around here!" The others echoed.

Faced with these negative responses, although Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer felt aggrieved, they still patiently explained the purpose of their research, hoping to get everyone's support and help.

In addition to collecting information on the Internet, Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer also tried to contact some virtual idol production companies and operation teams, hoping to obtain some internal data and information.

However, most of their emails fell on deaf ears, and the occasional replies they received were just polite rejections.

"It seems that this road is not feasible." Ling Jiuer sighed helplessly.

Gu Fanxing was unwilling to give up: "Let's think of other ways, we will definitely find a breakthrough."

Having given so much, she didn't want their efforts to go to waste.

While looking up information, they also encountered copyright issues.

Some valuable materials are protected by copyright and cannot be directly quoted and used, which makes them feel helpless.

"It's such a pity that we finally found such valuable information but can't use it!" Gu Fanxing said regretfully.

Ling Jiuer suggested: "How about we try to contact the author and ask for their authorization?"

So they began the long process of contacting authors again, however, most authors either did not respond or rejected their requests.

Although this path took a long time, the results were unsatisfactory and there was no progress.

Despite encountering numerous difficulties, Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer never gave up.

They rush between the library and classroom during the day, and work late into the night in their dormitories to continue organizing and analyzing data.

Hard work pays off. After several weeks of hard work, they finally collected a batch of relatively valuable information and gained a preliminary understanding of the impact of virtual idols on young people's values.

However, this is only the first step in a long journey, and there are more arduous tasks waiting for them.

But Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer firmly believe that as long as they work together and move forward courageously, they will be able to overcome this difficulty and complete this challenging thesis.
