Abstract

The article reports that China is having a record number of text messaging on cell phones as they celebrate the New Year in 2007. The fifteen-day celebration of the New Year traditionally involves visiting family and friends. The practice of "door hopping" is centuries old. However, some people claim that their circle of acquaintances is so large, that text messaging is the best they can do to honor their obligations.
