Wa Heaven was launched in 2009 to provide a digital means of paying homage to deceased family members
ZHANG SHIMO is popular in the afterlife. He died in mainland China in January 2012, a few months shy of his 100th birthday, but he has not been forgotten. His profile on Wa Heaven is one of the most visited on the Chinese online-memorial website. He has had over 10m mourners and reached Level 7 on the platform’s “Affection Index”.
But with many such places closed to visitors because of covid-19, officials are encouraging the use of online options. Wa Heaven is busier than ever. “Last year we had around 30 people registering a day, this year it is thousands every day,” says Jia Yongqing, the portal’s founder.
