Flash is the abbreviation of "flash film" or "flash action", which is a hippie behavior that has recently become popular in the world and can be regarded as a short-lived performance art. To put it simply, many people use the internet or other means to do a series of designated songs and dances or other behaviors at a designated place and at a clearly designated time, and then leave quickly.

"Flash action" is a kind of performance art, such as pure fun or worship. Its main characteristics are unorganized and disciplined, only the initiator has no organizer, the members are all from the Internet, and the members basically don't know each other. At present, it is blooming everywhere in China in a diversified form.

origin

Flash flash is the Chinese translation of English FlashMob, which originated from the funny clips of Stephen Chow's famous films "Trick Expert" and "shaolin soccer". The first flash flash action abroad was in Manhattan, new york, USA in May 2003. People only know that its original organizer was named Bill, who claimed to be a "social worker".

Bill set up a special group called "Mob Project" to organize activities. The "flash plan" has its own distinctive features-participants should know that some people have accepted the invitation. No website will provide special information about the event, let alone publish any advertisements in any local newspaper-they just invite each other by email, and as friends in the virtual world, almost no one will know each other well in real life.

In his first letter to netizens, Bill said, "I wrote this letter because it was my idea, but it doesn't mean that I am the organizer of the event. Personally, in my opinion, people who plan activities before launching emails can act as organizers. Activities should be organized by those who know the content of the activities. "
