The sudden surge in popularity can be attributed to celebrities showcasing their "撕拉片" photos on social media, which has created a sense of FOMO (fear of missing out) among young people.

Fuji Film (China) Investment Co., Ltd. has recently responded to the phenomenon of "polaroid film" prices being inflated to over 300 yuan per sheet.

Currently, all Fuji instant film paper circulating on the market are from old stock and have exceeded their expiration dates.
