QR codes come into use for wedding cash gifts in China

The application range of QR codes just keeps getting wider in China. For Chinese people, giving cash gifts in red envelopes to newly-weds is a centuries-long tradition. But it appears the practice is about to get subverted as QR codes are being brought into the picture. As QR codes, which are square-shaped versions of bar codes and stand for Quick Response Code, have become a part of everyday life for hundreds of millions of Chinese people, a wedding party has devised a new interesting application for the codes.
