How to Have Limitless Friends on WeChat

Although we only can have maximum 5,000 friends in one WeChat account, we can reach out to more than 5,000 friends using Group chats, Moments, Official Account and Mini Program. 


A.   Group Chats
There is no limit to the number of Group chats that we can join or set up.  Each group chat can have a maximum 500 people, and most of these people may not be your WeChat friends. 

When you post messages in these group chats that make people like you, these people are your friends, EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE NOT ADDED THEM AS YOUR WECHAT FRIEND. In business, people like to buy from friends. So the number of people that you can reach via Group chats is infinitite.

B.  Moments
People mistakenly think that only our WeChat friends can read our Moments. In reality, our WeChat Moments can also reach out to people that are Not our WeChat friends through 4 ways: People Nearby, Friend Radar, Paid Advertisements and Reposting or Forwarding

When you set your Moments posts to be public and allow strangers to see 10 of your Moments posts, people can use People Nearby and Friend Radar tools to see your Moments.  Paid Advertisements in WeChat, which will be covered later, is one way that you reach out to people that are not your WeChat friends.

Reposting or Forwarding of your Moments posts:  We know that if your Moments post is good, people will copy and post it on their WeChat Moments.  If you write articles using free tools like Kaidan Mima and Meipian and post them on your WeChat Moments, there will be more people sharing your posts.  Inside the articles, you can ask people to add you as a WeChat friend or subscribe to your posts.  In this way, your reach just gets wider and wider.  In short, the number of people that you can reach via Moments is infinite.

C. Official Account
We know that anyone can follow your Official Account if you make your Official Account QR code available for easy scanning.  At the backend of your Official Account, you can see who follow your Official Account and connect with them easily.  Since there is no limit to the number of people that can follow or read your Official Account, the number of people that you can reach via Official Account is infinite.

D. Mini Programs
People can also search for your Mini Program using Search inside Discover page.  WeChat will also display Mini Programs that are within 5Km of people’s location.  Since there is no limit to the number of people that can follow or read your Mini Program, the number of people that you can reach via Mini Program is infinite.

In the end, the number of people you can reach on WeChat is much more than the number of friends that you have on WeChat. The number of people that can reach is infinite.

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...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
