The theme of this year’s digital red pockets interaction activity is “Thumbs Up for the Chinese New Year”. Kuaishou will for the first time use the form of “video + thumbs up” to issue the largest amount of red pockets in the history of the Spring Festival Gala. To get the cash, users will only need to browse short videos and give “thumbs up”s on Kuaishou’s app. Kuaishou will also launch a series of interactive games including “collecting virtual cards to get cash-back” to engage the users during the Spring Festival.
