Is the era of handwritten letters ending in china?

As technology transforms communication - even in the countryside - some say they miss the traditional mail

A sunny morning breaks in Shiquan, a mountainous county in Northwest China's Shaanxi province, as Zhao Mingcui begins to strap postal items onto the sides and the back of a motorbike ahead of her journey. Every second or third day in a week, she delivers mail to the villages nearby, a job she has held for almost two decades.

It's around 9 am. But Zhao, who often uses dirt bikes and boats to reach remote areas, is still fussing over a handwritten letter inside a sealed envelope. Either the intended recipient's address isn't clearly marked, or she wants to ensure that the person is available at a given time to receive it.
