Abstract: Objective: With the pervasive infiltration of digital media technology, a new cultural phenomenon—"Medial Analgesia”—has emerged among contemporary youth. This paper aims to explore the generative logic and essence of “Medial Analgesia”. Methods: By crawling keyword text data on the Sina Weibo platform and employing LDA topic modeling and sentiment analysis tools, this study analyzes the generative logic and intrinsic nature of “Medial Analgesia” from a semiotic perspective, revealing the emotional states of the youth in the era of intelligent communication and their desire for psychological “pain relief”. Results: “Medial Analgesia” serves not only as a method of self-healing for the youth but also as a reflection of modern societal pressures and anxieties. The predominance of positive sentiments in discussions surrounding it indicates that such media plays an active therapeutic role in alleviating psychological stress. Conclusion: This study uncovers the role of “Medial Analgesia” in mitigating psychological stress among the youth, while also warning of its potential side effect of avoiding reality. It is suggested that the youth should maintain a comprehensive approach to problem-solving and seek balance between reality and virtuality when utilizing media resources for emotional healing.
