Life is difficult for young people in China: finding your soulmate is very difficult, you spend the whole day at work and don’t even have time for your personal life, let alone visiting temples. Young people in China have figured out how to pray to the gods without leaving their homes.
The life of young people in China is like Groundhog Day. Most often, the daily routine of a young company employee consists of the road to work, work, the road home and sleep. In between, young Chinese eat and chat with colleagues. Young people don’t have enough time for anything else, so they have to get out.
In the Chinese segment of the Internet, sites and applications have appeared that allow you to perform digital prayers for money. There are already several types of such prayers in the country: broadcasts from temples, burning of digital incense, screensavers with the God of Wealth Tsai-Shen.
