    So I was searching 520 meaning because even though I knew it meant i love you I got confused with 1314.

    Then I realised may 20 and may 21 are online valentines days.
    So happy online valentine's day.

    Who knew about it? and who would now plan to celebrate it?

    520 in China means I love you and 521 started meaning I am willing.
    And 5201314 means I love you forever, 1314 meaning forever

    So in the end May (5th month) 20 became online valentine's day because it's usually in online relationship that 520 is used. Ig?

    Qixi (or is it qiqi) festival. 7th of 7th. Cowherd and I forgot the ladies name (maybe magpie) meet once in year using bridge made of stars (milky way).
    Mooncake festival or mid autumn festival is in September.

    Spoken like a TRUE foodie.
    You know you get sweets and chocolates and cake on valentines or is it that you are partial to mooncakes.

    They are so hard to make T-T

    I think she was weaver girl

    but man I didn't know 520 is such a big affair, I only knew it from the novels I read, didn't expect many people outside of China to know about it since its chinese online slang...

    eh chocolate on Valentine hmm isn't that because of commercial propaganda? like diamond is forever stuff~ hardly connect any food with Valentine, mostly it on flowers~ there really not special food for Valentine... the chocolate stuff this cat know from manga aka jp culture similarly whiteday.... duh~ the Valentine culture more on giving lover a gift not really about food despite love associate with sweet hence the sweet, cake for dunno feminine girly stuff?

    on practical side the event mean discount on some type of item these day~

    1314 sounds like one live one death, 520 love you and together it means some3like I'll live you forever or in life and death
