In China, maybe you have heard about "双十一" (Double 11), if you haven't, then you will soon get the chance to see how crazy Chinese people get on that day.
在中国,你一定听说过11月11日这个特殊的日子。也许你没听说过,但是你即将亲眼见证这不可思议的一天。
Since this day has four "1", and this number looks like a stick, in Chinese, people use "sticks" to describe single people. So this day was regarded as Singles' Day by young people.
11月11日,因为全部都是“1”,而“1”的形状与光棍相似,在汉语里,“光棍”用来比喻“单身汉”,所以最开始被年轻人奉为“光棍节”。
However, in 2009, large Chinese online shopping platforms such as Taobao, Tmall, Jingdong, to comfort the lonely "Bachelors" on 11.11, decided to offer special prices, and the promotion turned out to be far more popular than they expected. After that, this day has become the national online shopping day of the year. This is quite similar to America's "Black Friday", Russia's "Cyber Monday" and South Korea's "Grand Sale" Plan. Thus, on November 11th, people will not only think of the "Singles' day", but also the "Shopping Festival".
然而,在2009年,中国的电商巨头们突发奇想。为了安慰这些孤独寂寞的“光棍”,各大电商平台如淘宝、天猫、京东等利用这一天来进行商品促销,从而掀起了全民双十一购物的狂潮,类似于美国的“黑色星期五”、俄罗斯的“网购星期一”、韩国的“星星Korea”计划等。由此,在中国,说到11月11日,人们想到的不仅是“光棍节”,更是“购物节”。
