Red envelopes (relate) to the Chinese Lunar New Year for long. I myself have had plenty of (experience) both receiving and giving out red envelopes in the past, and generally speaking, it's been fun. I mean, who doesn't love free money?

Moreover, I've always believed that it's human nature to want free stuff, regardless of whether you actually need it or not. This may not be a good quality, it's not against the law, so I won't get all judgmental here. (consider) these reasons, I really can't fault anyone for their enthusiasm in grabbing virtual red envelopes. I would have done it too, I not thought linking WeChat to my bank accounts was too much trouble.
