      Origins
      Singles' Day was first celebrated at various universities in Nanjing, capital city of Jiangsu Province during the 1990s. It got the name Singles' Day because the date consists of four "ones". Each one symbolizes an individual who is standing alone.
      光棍节发源于90年代的江苏省会南京的各所大学，光棍节定于11月11日是由于这一天的日期由四个“一”组成。每个“一”都暗示了一个单身的人。

      These college students have since graduated, and carried their university tradition into society. Singles Day is now a special day for all fashionable youths.
      这批大学生毕业后就把学校的传统带到了社会中，自此光棍节流行于潮男潮女年轻人中间。

      The main way to celebrate Singles Day is to have dinner with your single friends, but it's important that each person pay their own way to show their independence. People also hold "blind date" parties in an attempt to bid goodbye to their single lives.
      庆祝光棍节的常见的方式是朋友聚会，也有些人会在这天举办相亲聚会，以借机告别单身生活。但不管怎   样，最重要的是在这一天秀出自己的独立个性。。

      Creative Celebration
      For breakfast on Singles' Day, singles often eat four deep-fried dough sticks representing the four "ones" in "11.11" and one steamed stuffed bun representing the middle dot.
      广大单身男女早餐通常会吃四根油条和一个包子来纪念这一特殊日子。
