As a new topic in media research and Internet history research, the study of memories of disappeared websites provides a new perspective for understanding the history of the Internet. We analyzed 250 memory narratives in which more than 277 Chinese disappeared websites are mentioned. The analysis shows that Chinese netizens remember disappeared website as living persons, not just as media or technologies. In their memories, netizens not only narrate the biographies of the websites, but also their autobiographies, especially their internet life, friendship and youth. Criticisms of current situations of the internet in China are often expressed through their remembrances of the changed ages. These fndings show that the technological imagination of the Internet in China is not blindly utopian, but a utopian realism based on individual experience, critiques of reality and hopes for the future.
