China Many online stores take advantage of the snow cover in northern provinces to provide a love writing service for just a few yuan.

On the e-commerce site Taobao, customers can order a 6-word message for about 5 yuan (US $ 0.7). If you ask to draw more hearts or images, guests have to pay extra.

After receiving the application, the store owner will go out and write a message on the snow, then take photos or video and send it back to the customer within an hour. Many more creative people build more snowmen or travel far to find context.

"We will take a taxi to a park or find a clean snow to write for you," a shop owner said. "We don't just randomly write on the snow around our houses or on the side of the road, because it's often dirty or discolored."

A shop owner in Heilongjiang Province said she received more than 100 orders in just a few days and most customers who lived in the south had never seen snow.

A woman said she initially started the service just for fun but then was surprised to receive 20 orders in just three days. Most customers demand that the snow be clean and the text beautiful, so she spends a lot of time looking for white snow and no footprints to write.

Temperatures in northeast China plunged over the weekend and a number of provinces experienced snowstorms. In Heilongjiang, the government has issued a snow alert of level 4, the lowest level in the system.

In Inner Mongolia, many sections of the highway were closed and bus service was interrupted when the temperature dropped to -20 degrees Celsius. On November 17, when it snowed in Guilin province, the students ran out. It took off and sing.

The personal messaging service has been available on Taobao since before. In 2018, some shops sold custom-designed videos featuring African children singing happy birthday and disco dancing, raising concerns about child abuse.
