Felicity Miller, a 32－year－old British woman, has a Chinese husband, still remembers the (excite) when she first learned to use the "red packet" function on WeChat in 2015. She sent and grabbed some red packets in her Chinese family's group. The rule in her family was that the person who grabbed the (high) amount sent the next.
Attracted by the unique way of communicating, many foreigners (join) in sending and grabbing red packets so far. Usually, the money in each packet is random. Thus the amount of money one can grab (large) depends on his or her luck, from 0. 01 yuan to less than 200 yuan. Many foreigners get more familiar Chinese culture through "red packets". Two years ago, when Felicity Miller was sent 5. 20 or 8. 88 yuan red packets, she had no clue about the (hide) meanings. Now, she has not only known about (they), but also has sent a few.
However, the popularity of virtual red packets doesn't stop people sending paper red packets (contain) real cash during the Spring Festival. It is called lucky money. In Chinese tradition, people take giving children lucky money as blessing.
