To make up for a lack of public-sphere-orientated research in current literature on political Weibo, this article takes as examples the governmental Weibos of five municipal governments including Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou and Chengdu, whose fans numbers are ranked at the top among Chinese governmental Weibos, and explores what characters regarding the perspective of public sphere the governmental Weibos have shown. It finds that the governmental Weibos are not dominated by governmental affairs, but the information for daily life, entertainment or those ‘Chicken Soup’ for the soul instead. The content of governmental Weibos aims at facilitating the people's life; their narrative styles are friendly to the people; their political appeal is to make a people-centered myth. Ultimately, a second intimate sphere targeting life counseling is constructed, making governmental Weibos be ‘public concerns’ in appearance but ‘private concerns’ in essence which in turn become a combination of public sphere in terms of its form and second intimate sphere with regard to its substance. Nonetheless, what netizens are concerned about regarding the governmental Weibos are exactly their publicity and the nature of media. By taking advantage of the comment sections of governmental Weibos, netizens question the public authority, or interpret Weibos' content reversely, so that a counter-public space emerges.
