China’s Hidden Eating-Disorder Communities

本站:Apr 17, 2026原文:Apr 15, 2026

zài在zhōng guó中国yī xiē一些shè jiāo社交píng tái平台shàng上，yǐn shí shī tiáo饮食失调bù不zhǐ只bèi被dàng chéng当成jiàn kāng健康wèn tí问题，yǒu shí有时hái还bèi被bāo zhuāng包装chéng成“zì lǜ自律”“biàn měi变美”hé和“zhǎo dào找到tóng bàn同伴”de的fāng shì方式。

On some social platforms in China, eating disorders are not only treated as a health issue; sometimes they are also packaged as a way to be “self-disciplined,” “become more beautiful,” and “find companions.”

yǒu rén有人sōu suǒ搜索“ED”hòu后，huì会kàn dào看到yī xiē一些bàn yǐn cáng半隐藏de的quān zi圈子。

If someone searches for “ED,” they may find some semi-hidden groups.

lǐ miàn里面de的rén人fēn xiǎng分享měi tiān每天chī吃shén me什么、tǐ zhòng体重duō shǎo多少、zěn me怎么shǎo chī少吃，shèn zhì甚至yòng用tè bié特别de的cí词lái来duǒ kāi躲开píng tái平台jiǎn chá检查。

People in these groups share what they eat every day, how much they weigh, how little they eat, and even use special words to avoid platform checks.

hěn很duō多tiě zi帖子bǎ把hěn很shòu瘦de的shēn tǐ身体dàng chéng当成mù biāo目标，hái还huì会hù xiāng互相gǔ lì鼓励jì xù继续jiǎn féi减肥。

Many posts treat a very thin body as the goal, and people encourage each other to keep losing weight.

yǒu rén有人míng míng明明zhī dào知道zì jǐ自己yǐ jīng已经tài太shòu瘦le了，hái shì还是tíng停bù不xià lái下来，yīn wèi因为tā她jué de觉得tǐ zhòng体重shì是zì jǐ自己wéi yī唯一néng能kòng zhì控制de的dōng xī东西。

Some people know very well that they are already too thin, but still cannot stop, because they feel that weight is the only thing they can control.

gèng更ràng让rén人dān xīn担心de的shì是，yī xiē一些nián jì年纪hěn很xiǎo小de的xué shēng学生yě也zài在zhè xiē这些quān zi圈子lǐ里，jiāo liú交流zěn me怎么mán zhe瞒着jiā rén家人hé和lǎo shī老师。

What is even more worrying is that some very young students are also in these groups, talking about how to hide it from their parents and teachers.

yán jiū研究fā xiàn发现，zhōng guó中国qīng shào nián青少年chū xiàn出现yǐn shí shī tiáo饮食失调wèn tí问题de的rén人yuè lái yuè越来越duō多，nǚ hái女孩miàn duì面对de的fēng xiǎn风险gèng更gāo高。

Studies have found that eating disorders are becoming more common among Chinese teenagers, and girls face a higher risk.

zhè ge这个wèn tí问题bù不zhǐ shì只是shān tiē删帖jiù就néng能jiě jué解决，hái还xū yào需要xué xiào学校、jiā tíng家庭hé和shè huì社会yì qǐ一起bāng zhù帮助nián qīng rén年轻人jiàn lì建立gèng更jiàn kāng健康de的shēn tǐ身体guān niàn观念。

This problem cannot be solved just by deleting posts; schools, families, and society also need to work together to help young people build healthier ideas about their bodies.
