It is always painful to see something useful being turned into rubbish, and that may be the tragic fate shared bikes are embracing.
A young colleague of mine told me the other day that one thing he is most proud of is his decision to buy an apartment in Beijing in 2012, two years after his graduation from university.
I had never expected that I would one day try my hand at running a store on social networking app WeChat.
