Red envelopes have been related to the Chinese Lunar New Year for long. I myself have had plenty of experiences both receiving and giving out red envelopes in the past, 1. I mean, who doesn’t love free money?

I’m truly surprised by the extent of people’s obsession with virtual red envelopes this year. In fact, everyone I know spent at least a day or two crazily shaking their smart phones, 2. Thanks to messaging app giant We Chat’s new feature which allows users to send money electronically, grabbing virtual red envelopes has never seemed so easy.

3. here’s how it works. Givers link their We Chat to their bank accounts, and then they can send specified amounts of money to their We Chat accounts through a personal message. They can also put the cash up for grabs in chat groups full of friends, and anyone who acts fast enough will get a share. 4.

In theory, this sounds like a fun game. I’m always for some harmless fun in life, so my natural response would be: Why not? Moreover, I’ve always believed that it’s human nature to want free stuff, regardless of whether you actually need it or not. This may not be a good quality, but it’s not against the law, 5. Considering these reasons, I really can’t fault anyone for their enthusiasm in grabbing virtual red envelopes. I would have done it too, had I not thought linking We Chat to my bank accounts was too much trouble.

A. and we know everyone likes money.

B. and generally speaking, it’s been fun.

C. if you want to be good at grabbing a red envelope.

D. Just in case you are one of the very few people still not on the bandwagon,

E. mostly trying to get as much lucky money as possible.

F. so I won’t get all judgmental here.

G. Later，receivers can transfer the funds from their We Chat back into their own bank accounts.
