May 20th / 520 – “I love you” day

520 is a short form of the day of May 20 and this date is another Valentine’s Day holiday in China. But why is this date Valentine’s Day? It may sound funny but “520” sounds phonetically very close to “I Love You”, or “Wo Ai Ni” in Chinese.

We have produced a couple of videos with a bit more information on this special day. The first is different ways of saying I love you, whilst the second is about the cultural expression of love in China.
