Many an online shopper stayed up until 2 am on Sunday, looking through the Internet to buy products being sold at half price before they could be snapped up （be bought）by other shoppers. Tens of millions of the Internet users were crazy to take advantage of the half price promotion(促销), started by the ecommerce(电子商务) giant Alibaba Group on Sunday, Nov. 11, which is known as Singles’ Day in China, and is the Chinese answer to Cyber Monday in the United States.

By 7 pm on Sunday, 14.1 billion yuan’s worth of sales was made on tmall. com and taobao. com. That could make Singles’ Day the biggest ecommerce sales day on record.

Paparazzi（狗仔队）camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.
