Mature Chinese women are “renting” themselves to younger counterparts to listen to their worries and share life experiences.This service, commonly known as “sister commission,” has gone viral on social media platforms after some women in their 30s and 40s advertised such services.According to the posts, they offer “younger sisters” a listening ear, advice drawn from their richer life experiences, or simply companionship in a cosy atmosphere.Some women charge a commission fee ranging from 150 yuan (US$22) per meeting to 300 yuan per hour. Others provide their services for free, asking only that clients cover the cost of meals or activities they enjoy together.Fees for these meetings range from 150 yuan (US$22) to 300 yuan per hour or per meeting, while some offer their services for free, asking only for meal costs during their time together.
