I have enough dresses to wear a different one each day of the month,” said Yang Ha’na, an 81-year-old resident of the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou. Since her son taught her how to shop online two years ago, she’s been hooked on scrolling through e-commerce apps, browsing and buying everything from food to clothes to homewares. Yang receives four delivery boxes on average every day, which cost her 1,000 to 3,000 yuan (about $151 to $453) a month. “My husband often ‘complains’ because whenever there’s a package, he has to go downstairs to fetch it,” Yang said with a chuckle. Her husband, who collects antiques, also goes online to do his shopping. Their house looks no different from the homes of many elderly couples – other than big furniture, almost all home accents, daily necessities and electronic gadgets are from online stores. A burgeoning cohort of elderly Chinese are sold on online shopping and communication. As this year’s Double-11 festival, the world’s largest online buying spree, approaches, senior citizens have already filled their digital shopping carts in anticipation. #China #Economy #Chinaeconomy #
