It is that time of the year again when the most popular online shopping event in China, Tmall's Double 11, is going to be held.

The event, organized by Alibaba's Tmall platform, has become synonymous with shopping mania in China. This year is no exception, with over 60 major brands offering their products on the streets of major cities from October 20th. The promotion is being heavily promoted on Weibo, with many netizens expressing their excitement and anticipation for the event.
One particular post by a cat with a big head has been gaining a lot of attention. The post says, "Bigly inform you, my cat's head has more material! From October 20th, 60 major brands with big name cat heads will land on streets in major cities! Remember to walk down the street and check if my big head is impressive enough ~ Don't miss the live pre-sale of Double 11 at 8 PM on October 24th! Big brand goodies are super touching! Save money, I am a cat with skills → Turn + Follow, draw 20 prizes to give away a big package of added ingredients."
It seems like the use of a cat with a big head as a promotional tool has been successful in piquing people's interest. Netizens are excited about the live pre-sale of Double 11 and the chance to save money on big brand goodies. Many have expressed their eagerness to participate in the event, with some even planning to follow the cat account for a chance to win a big package of added ingredients.
Other posts on Weibo are providing information about how to save more by shopping at Tmall during the Double 11 sales event. One post encourages users to view a link and get a coupon code, while another video challenges people to see how many red envelopes they can get from checking out the post.
The live preview for Li Jiaqi's double 11 sale is also generating buzz on Weibo. Li Jiaqi, a popular Chinese livestreamer, is known for her beauty product lists and this year, she has shared her list for the Double 11 Beauty Festival on October 24th. Her live preview of the sale cautions, "Even if you don't buy anything, you still have no money. Even if you buy something, you also have no money. This means that buying things are free of charge. Why not buy when it is free?"
While some netizens are excited about the prospect of shopping and saving money during Double 11, others are more skeptical. One post reads, "Nothing worth buying." However, this sentiment does not seem to be prevailing as most people are actively searching for deals and planning their shopping strategy.
In addition to the live broadcasts by popular livestreamers like Li Jiaqi, there are also lists of products that people can add to their carts during the sale. One such list includes oil payment persons, which suggests that users can use certain types of payment methods to get additional discounts or benefits
