This item is a curated snapshot of the TikTok account @kejiahua, which serves as a modern “rare book” preserving Hakka language and cultural narratives. This account features short-form videos that provide language lessons (such as “客家话吟诵古诗词”), pronunciation guides (such as “客家话突出特征”), and cultural stories (such as "子孙瓦的真正寓意"), all aimed at revitalizing the endangered Hakka language. By capturing the account at a specific moment, this item not only the content but also the ephemeral nature of digital media, highlighting the challenges and opportunities in preserving social media artifacts for future scholarly and community use. This item supports research into digital curation practices, cultural heritage preservation, and the impact of grassroots digital activism.
