Second,stress was the other topic that people always discussed it at that time. Bus Uncle mentioned "i have pressure!" many times in the video. Some hong kong people agreed that bus uncle is a representative of them. Hong Kong is a city of "quick " ,"busy" and, "efficiency". Under this atmosphere, it leads many people in a big pressusre and even frustrated in working.

Bus Uncle(2007) and The boy who doesn't offer a seat to an elderly (2010)
It shows that the video-sharing site can give a chance of people to upload their creative works and get inspiration on the video-sharing site. Because the bus uncle video, many videos were created which is also related to the nus uncle. If there is no video-sharing website in the world, the bus uncle clip would not broadcast so fasr that everyone would know. Video- sharing site is a platform that everyone can upload his work freely. Although you may say there are many videos on the site and not all the video are also very good. That 's true, but the creater can the comments to improve their works, the viewers and the creaters can interact with each others.
