Further 3 Wrong Understandings About WeChat

Other than the common 10 misunderstandings about WeChat, there following three prevalent thinking that must be corrected:

1. People in China Cannot Follow My WeChat Account

I have over 211 friends who live in China and they follow my Moments posting every day.  I even taught one of them English via WeChat. Definitely, people in China can follow my WeChat account. 

But if I were to create my overseas Official Account, people in China cannot follow and read my overseas Official Account. 

But if these people from China opened their WeChat accounts using their e-mails and QQ accounts and not their mobile number, they can follow all overseas official accounts.  

Note that official accounts are mini-sites on WeChat, they are not the same as the usual personal WeChat account that most people use every day

2. WeChat Wallet Cannot Be Opened Outside China

Anyone in this world can open WeChat Wallet easily. They just need one of the following: bank card from China (meaning you have a bank account physically opened in China) or Visa/Mastercard credit card to authenticate

I use WeChat Wallet more than once a week as I send red packets to my students in the WeChat classes as I demonstrate to them how they can open WeChat Wallet in just 3 minutes inside my class

Note that only with WeChat Wallet can you access the free advertising platform called 'GroupBuy'.  With WeChat Wallet, you can receive and send RMB to anyone in this world via transfer or red packets.  You also can make use of WeChat Pay to do cashless payments to vendors

3. Only Those Who Understand Chinese Can Use WeChat

WeChat is used in over 100 countries in this world and currently, it translates 21 languages instantly.  Thus you don't need to know Chinese to use WeChat

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment. I. The First "Right Person": A "Talent Scout" Who Recognizes Your Worth In the early 1970s, composer T...
