tomorrow,aug 7,chinese calendar Jul 7, a festival day of couples,just like valentines's Day Feb 14.
the festival from a beacutful old story of a couples,they are Niulang(cattle grazing child) and Zinv (a fairy live in sky ,her work is textile)although they live in different world,but one day they met,and love each other at first sight.from that day,Zinv never back her home,she marriaged with Niulang.some years later,they have their kids. but this thing angried king in the sky,and his wife came to Zinu's home and take her back.they could not meet again. Nulang and Zinu' love story was so touching,and tens of thousands of magpie for a ride of bridge ,the queen finally agreed they can meet just Jul 7 everyday.now,they are also two star's name in night sky.they are still see each other with shining.
so,every chinese calendar Jul 7 ,couples turning their head to look night sky if there is a bridge with many magpie,hope they can meet and chat for a long time.
but i still no lover now,and tomorrow,if you will tell your lover you love him/her?
