ABSTRACT

The integration of network media and the social life of the elderly in the network era provides a new opportunity for the urban integration of the elderly who move with them. Based on the theory of cyberspace, this paper collects data through semi-structured interviews and participatory observation, and explores the identity construction of the elderly who move with them in the digital age from three dimensions: self, family and society. Identity construction has become an important link in the process of urban integration in the digital age of the elderly, but the phenomenon of "alienation" cannot be ignored.
