Libras lick contest for red e-envelopes

Libras were the most generous among the 12 signs on the Western zodiac in terms of giving cash-filled red envelopes online, Alipay, the nation's most widely used online payment tool, said on Tuesday.

Alipay is a unit of Zhejiang Ant Small & Micro Financial Services Group Co, an affiliate of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

More than 100 million people in China got into the red-envelope game via Alipay during Spring Festival, which ends this week, with Libras giving the most online, the company said.
