Further thinking

 

    According to the Civil Code (民法典), it states that “inheritance (继承) is the legal personal property left by a natural person upon death.”

   There is no doubt that valuable virtual coins and coupons (优惠券) can be inherited. But whether social media accounts, like WeChat and Sina Weibo, can be inherited is still questionable (有争议的), because they are highly personal.

    So, there is still a long way to go in dealing with our digital legacies.
