Q: What happens to someone's Weibo page when they pass away?

Honest question. Do mods take it down or does it stay on forever?

Could ask the same thing about Facebook, actually.

This is common sense it remains. A facebook page, weibo page or myspace page they all remain. All you need is the persons password to log on. If the person passes it is like a person's personal belonging they don't get rid of it. I knew a guy that passed his mother found his password and added something to it so all of his friends could remember him.

All info you input in sites like facebook or weibo are stored in a database forever, so even if relatives have the account closed, the info will still be saved somewhere so it will always theoretically exist and float around cyberspace. That's why, when you delete your facebook and rejoin a few months later, all your previous info and pics are still there.

I don't know about weibo, but for Facebook, immediate family can request the account to be deleted, or they will memorialize the account, settings set only to current friends and the decesed is no longer a "People you may know." Facebook will not give the password to the account to anyone, nor will anyone be able to log in to the account. Only current friends will be allowed to post to the wall to leave memorials.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
