The behaviour of the woman, identified as Wang, has also triggered a heated discussion about the mental health of senior citizens.

Wang lives alone in a flat in the Jiading district of Shanghai.

Over the past few years, she has spent more than two million yuan buying items from online platforms, according to the news outlet Kan Kan News.
