for wrongdoings, love letters and breakup letters. Her story has spread on social media, triggering wide discussion on the lost art of letter writing. It has been viewed more than 14 million times on Sina Weibo.
The idea of writing letters for others came when Feng tried to draw and write on her iPad to beat boredom during CO VID-19. Then, she opened an online store for letter writing.

The doctor contacted Feng to help him write thank-you letters to the Wuhan Red Cross Hospital and the hotel he stayed in for their care and support during his time in Wuhan. As mailing rvices were stopped during the lockdown, Feng wrote the letters on her iPad and emailed the letters. "I told him that I wanted to write the letters free of charge, but he insisted on paying. " Feng recounts.
Since then, her business has taken off. As of January, she has written more than 700 letters , with each letter ranging from dozens of words to thousands. Depending on the length of the letters, each letter can cost from dozens of yuan to less than 100 yuan.
"Letter writing is a meaningful thing, and I want to make it into a lifetime career. "says Feng, smiling. She resigned from her design job and became a full-time letter writer from June.

We all know cameras. But have you heard of Google's new camera? It is a small, smart device, called Clips. It comes with a ca that has a clip （夹子）,but it's not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it us artificial intelligence to take photographs out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.

The only way to e the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.
Did people think it was strange? Yes, but Payne said nobody need worry about safety. A green light on the front shows that the device is on. Besides, it is not connected to the Internet.
“This product is only possible becau technology has advanced. " Payne said. It was only in the past year that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. “Going forward, we're likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps. " He added.
