Beijing, March 28 (IANS) As iPhones and iPads are getting more popular in China, some people are choosing paper-made Apple goods as offerings to their deceased relatives.
Many shops on Taobao, a major Chinese website for online shopping, sell paper digital devices, including iPhone4 and iPad2, China Daily reported Wednesday.
On sale were not only the paper-made devices themselves but a full range of accessories such as chargers, earphones and data lines. The prices vary and can reach several hundred yuan.
"We hope the deceased can also feel the progress of our society," said a customer who did not give his name.
Many Chinese families visit cemeteries to mourn the death of their beloved ones and ancestors on Qingming Festival, which falls April 4 this year.
