The day of Nov. 11 (11.11) is the so-called "光棍儿节 (Guānggùnr Jié) Single's Day," because the four number "1" in the date look like four sticks with smooth surface.
On this day, many single people choose to go to a bar and join in a single's party.Maybe you will meet your Mr.or Miss Right there,right?
In Chinese the phrase "光棍儿 (guānggùnr)" first appeared in ancient China, and referred to those people who were not mindful of their own work and had no family or children.
Nowadays, the phrase just means bachelor. "光棍儿 (guānggùnr)" refers to a man, so how does one address a single woman? You can say "单身 (dānshēn)" to address a single woman. "单身 (dānshēn)" can also be used to refer to a single man.
Are you still single? If so, how do you want to celebrate this day?
