Your chance to break free of the chains of clutter

The Chinese are considered masters of storage. From odds and ends of sewing to used electrical appliances, from primary school and university textbooks, to New Year greetings cards－we do love to collect and then efficiently squirrel away everything related to our lives. But a new generation of consumers could be moving away from this traditional attitude toward hoarding and possessions. The New York Times 2014 bestseller, written by Japanese tidying guru Marie Kondo, has been translated into Chinese and has been selling like mooncakes. During the first three months of this year, retail sales of consumer goods reached 7.07 trillion yuan, a year-on-year growth of 10.8 percent, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
