Q: What happens to someone's Weibo page when they pass away?

Honest question. Do mods take it down or does it stay on forever?

Could ask the same thing about Facebook, actually.

This is common sense it remains. A facebook page, weibo page or myspace page they all remain. All you need is the persons password to log on. If the person passes it is like a person's personal belonging they don't get rid of it. I knew a guy that passed his mother found his password and added something to it so all of his friends could remember him.

All info you input in sites like facebook or weibo are stored in a database forever, so even if relatives have the account closed, the info will still be saved somewhere so it will always theoretically exist and float around cyberspace. That's why, when you delete your facebook and rejoin a few months later, all your previous info and pics are still there.

I don't know about weibo, but for Facebook, immediate family can request the account to be deleted, or they will memorialize the account, settings set only to current friends and the decesed is no longer a "People you may know." Facebook will not give the password to the account to anyone, nor will anyone be able to log in to the account. Only current friends will be allowed to post to the wall to leave memorials.

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski.  ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ... Cost for the ME in HK was around HK$ 2000/200 EUR, and ME was kind of swift, quicker and way shorter than on the mainland ... -- icnif77
