On November 11, Singles' Day, how did you spend it? Did you flaunt your love and happiness with your significant other on social media, stirring up envy all around, or did you simply turn off your phone, huddle by your computer, and mope alone? When Singles' Day dons the beautiful disguise of Valentine's Day, it naturally brings joy to some and sorrow to others. The former celebrate their successful "getting un-single," while the latter feel sorrowful and pitiful over their lack of romantic attention. To the former, reporters offer their blessings; to the latter, while consoling them, reporters also have a few more words to say: getting out of the singles life isn’t something you can achieve just by staying at home. Going out, exploring, is the ultimate way to "get un-single."
Visitors tie blessing ribbons for love and romance
Reporters learned that to help young men and women leave their single lives behind, the Taiji Lake Ecological and Cultural Tourism Area launched a series of special Singles' Day events from November 8 to November 14. These activities gave singles the chance to encounter that special someone they’ve been looking for and find sweet love in the scenic Taiji Lake area. According to staff, the events have attracted enthusiastic participation from many visitors since they began. Especially on Singles' Day itself, there was a noticeable increase in young visitors compared to previous days. People bonded through the activities, made new friends through chatting and joking, and some even had exciting breakthroughs—like one young man who successfully confessed his feelings, held hands with his girl by Taiji Lake, and received blessings from both staff and fellow visitors.
Among the many visitors, three young men caught the reporters’ attention. In interviews, they revealed that all three were single, and their parents had been pressing them about settling down, so they came to Taiji Lake to try their luck. Asked if they had met any girls they liked, the trio said with slight regret that they had been too nervous during the activities, focusing on calming themselves down and didn’t get the chance to chat with any girls. Seeing the blessing ribbons fluttering along the paths, each of them tied one. One young man even tried to hang his ribbon as high as possible, hoping a potential sweetheart in the distance might receive his message of love. As they left, the young men gazed out over the lake, seemingly entrusting their feelings to the endless waters, asking the lake to be their messenger and carry their love to the girls of their dreams.
