摘　　要：随迁老人群体规模的迅速增长与中国新型城镇化进程紧密相连。在流动性、老龄化、数字化交叠的城市空间,随迁老人群体在随子女迁徙的过程中面临着脱嵌与再嵌入的困境。相较于非随迁老人,随迁老人的微信使用总体更为熟练;微信在其生活中起到了增权益能的作用,尤其是以社交补位的方式,帮助该群体于虚拟空间弥合实体距离,在一定程度上实现了线下关系的再聚合与再拓展;但技术的普及与使用是一个不均衡的赋权过程,现实个体差异仍然影响着该群体在互联网平台上的资源与支持的获取。如何让仍在负重前行的随迁老人老有所依,应有赖于线上线下多元支持网络的构建以及代际、友辈间多维的深度沟通。The rapid growth of the elderly migrant population is closely linked to China's new urbanization process.In urban spaces characterized by mobility,aging,and digitization,the migrant elderly face challenges of de-embedding and re-embedding as they migrate with their offspring.Compared with other elderly people,the migrant elderly use WeChat with greater proficiency.WeChat plays a crucial role in empowering them,particularly through supplementing their social connections,helping this group bridge the gap between physical distances in virtual spaces,and to some extent,facilitating the re-aggregation and expansion of offline relationships.However,the popularization and use of technology is an unbalanced process of empowerment.Persistent individual differences continue to affect this group's access to resources and support on Internet platforms.In order to ensure that these“elder drifters”who are still overwhelmed by heavy burden of life have a reliable support system,the top priority should be the construction of diverse support networks both online and offline,as well as multidimensional in-depth communication between generations and friends.
