i really have no position to speak against this prevailing service while gaining benefits from it. first of all, the moment i taught my father how to send chinese messages by mobile phone, a 24 hour communication is maintained between school and home which performed as a best therapy to homesick (to help me adapt well to the college life at the beginning of the semester). quite beyond my belief, the charge for every piece of sm has become a money unit functioning something like a weighing apparatus to help decide whether a bargain is good or not.for instance, scarcely did my roommates and i know asking for a doggy-bag at school canteen costs another three jiao when an e
quation consequently reflected upon our minds which told "a doggy-bag is three short messages".
no doubt that it`s wonderful as it makes your life colorful.but do remember not to spoil your fingers with too much freedom, or your money and heart will be captured tenderly.
