520: a day of romance
How to express your love on May 20th?
Gift-sending is a traditional way of conveying love. Digital red envelopes have become popular with the rise of WeChat hongbao (red envelope) in recent years. WeChat raised the upper limit of each red packet, or gift money, from 200 yuan to 520 yuan, for the number "5-2-0", which sounds like wo ai ni, or "I love you" in Chinese.
