A PhD student who sells crayfish is a paragon of the entrepreneurial age
A few weeks ago I received a phone call from a girlfriend who asked me out. We met in a restaurant, and after a few minutes' chitchat she breathlessly served up this morsel of news: her former boyfriend had gone into business of selling crayfish.
Her ex, fast approaching 40, is studying for a doctorate in philosophy in Beijing. At the same time he has been looking for work, and a month ago he opened an online shop on WeChat, the mobile messaging service.
