HOHHOT, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) — In bustling Chinese cities, urbanites use social media for chat and work; in the vast grasslands of north China’s Inner Mongolia, nomads depend on it to sell cows and search for lost horses.
It is badly needed, as spreading information is very difficult in loosely populated areas where herdsmen would live dozens of kilometers apart.
Na Sutu, a Mongolian herder of Ujimqin Grassland in Xilin Gol League, regularly posts cattle information on Moments, an information-sharing function embedded in the popular instant messaging service WeChat, which he says brings much better businesses.
“In the past, I had to contact retailers to sell cows, but now business comes to me,” the 32-year-old man said.
