Creative celebration 新奇慶祝

For breakfast on Singles Day, singles often eat four youtiao (deep-fried dough sticks) representing the four "ones" in "11.11" and one baozi (steamed stuffed buns) representing the middle dot.

光棍節(jié)的早上，單身青年們會(huì)吃四根有條，代表11.11的四個(gè)“1”，再吃一個(gè)包子，代表11和11之間的那個(gè)點(diǎn)。

Many singles also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on this day. Many attend 'blind date' parties and many people choose to marry on this day. In addition to meaning 'single' the four 'ones' of the date can also mean 'only one' as in 'the only one for me.' Some people will use this date and this meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only 'one' in their heart.

很多單身朋友選擇在這一天告別單身，一些人參加相親會(huì)，一些人則在今天結(jié)婚。四個(gè)“1”不僅可以代表單身，還可以代表“唯一”，這也成了一些人的愛情告白日。
