Today is May 20, which may seem like a normal day for you. But for Chinese people, it is a special day for showing their love! ❤❤❤
5.20因为谐音我爱你，成为了现在信息时代的爱情节日。
When Chinese write May 20 in numbers, they write it as “5.20.” The pronunciations of the numbers “5,” ”2,” and “0” in Chinese sound very close to that of “I love you” in Chinese.
“520,” originally started as a slang word used by the Chinese online as a shortcut to say “I love you” in Chinese, like ILY in English, was gradually associated with the date May 20.
So for the Chinese, today is like a day for lovers. During this lovely day, couples may go on a date and spend time together. For those who are single, well, it’s a perfect time for them to be brave and show their love!
