The foreign festival "Valentine's Day" has become an annual reserved festival for Chinese lovers, which is far more important than our traditional Chinese Valentine's Day - Qixi. Probably not many people can blurt out the specific date of this year's Qixi Festival. However, February 14 has become a day for lovers to remember. It is a day for routine inspection of love. It is sweet, it is important, it has many patterns, and it is more particular.
Although this year's Valentine's Day overlaps with the Spring Festival, it does not diminish the special emotions and intentions of lovers at all. On the contrary, the long holiday of the Spring Festival provides enough time and space for the grand appearance of Valentine's Day, and the stage of Valentine's Day is built more meticulously than in the past. Flowers, chocolates, candlelight dinners, and more have become old-fashioned ways, and Valentine's Day in China seems to have encountered "aesthetic fatigue". Therefore, both lovers and businesses are struggling to use tricks to stimulate this repeated but important "love annual inspection day", which not only pricks the nerves of passionate people's love, but also stimulates consumers' desire to consume Valentine's Day. Due to the emphasis on form, this collective love festival will not become more tedious. For example, the pure gold foil rose produced by a commercial building in Jinan in response to the market is eye-catching; Some businesses in Wuxi have launched "Wishing Walls", where couples have bought wishing cards and concentric knots, written blessings and pasted them on various "heart shaped" walls, hoping to convey romantic messages to their loved ones; In a shopping center in Huzhou City, a "courage wall" has been erected in a newly cut area, allowing passersby to write love vows on the wall in public and express their love to the people they love... These romantic things that can be imagined seem more fresh and genuine, more bizarre and deeper.
Since ancient times, expressions between couples have emerged endlessly, both imaginable and unimaginable. And when love must be expressed in a "show" way on a designated day, the annual "love show", of course, is as lively as possible, the more ostentatious and dignified. I really like the lyrics of an old song: The most romantic thing I can think of is growing old with you. Every time I hear it, I feel old-fashioned and warm. All the bizarre, fresh, and exciting romantic things that happened on February 14th can be completed perfectly in just one day's time and care. However, this one thing - slowly aging with you - is unimaginable and the most difficult to accomplish, because that kind of romance requires a lifetime of time and care. On February 14th, this romantic Valentine's Day, which emerged from the 15th century, was finally transplanted from the West to China. Will it soon evolve into a "love fair"? On the fair, various bizarre love ideas are sold, with men and women chasing the fair, lovers loving people, and spending money to chase a love scene on the same day to earn various vain love faces? And one day when we really get old, will the only thing left in our memory be the golden rose?
