Valentine's as it is,February 14th happens to be our traditional Spring Festival

I wish you have a Happy Valentine's Day and also A Happy Spring Festival. In my country here, we called it "Happy Chinese New Year" and we will celebrate it together with our family. As for my Valentine's Day, i will celebrate it together with my family as threesome. But, since this year it fall on the same time with celebrating " Spring Festival", then i think will be busy visiting my relatives houses and even go sight-seeing with them. Since this is the only time, i am able to visit them, as they are always travel to overseas on business trips.

yes, it's very interesting.some people like basketball.there is also an important competition of basketball of NBA on that day.so ,it's difficult for a man to choose what's to do is best.to company your lover or to watch TV of the excellent competition or to spend the spring festival with your parents?

Hi William!^^ I have always wanted to see how Chinese celebrate their Lunar New Year. I only see it on TV. I think it would be fun to witness it personally. We would have gone to Hongkong to see their celebration of the Lunar New Year but we were not able to avail of the cheap promo tour package so we didn't push through. The only tradition that we follow here during February 14 is the celebration of Valentine's Day. Schools commonly celebrate this. They put up Valentine's Day decorations and sometimes hold a program and some would conduct a valentine's day fair. And then of course, lovers would be celebrating this and would make time to go out on this day.

Oh that's great, william, having a double celebration. Here in the Phils. Feb. 14 is a happy day being a Valentine's day. This time is a double celebration too being the Chinese New Year. It's a festive mood for everyone. Since there are so many chinese here filipinos join them in celebrating. For sure, Feb. 14 would be a very grandeous, happy day for us.

Thanks for the greetings williamjisir. In our country this is only the biggest event celebrated every 14th day of February. All are happy in this day together withn their love ones, relatives, friends and neighbors. That is good for you then, you have similar day of celebrating that event. So glad to hear it from you to have double celebration. I'm sure all is happy and glad all the time.

compare to valentine's day, i value the chinese new year more as i am a chinese and i am a single. but there is always difference between the chinese culture and western culture. western culture always have something romantic while chinese culture always highlight the value of realstionship. by the way, wish you a happy valentine's day and chinese new year

Hello William! February 14th in the UK is Just St.Valentines Day, I am a cynic I don't celebrate or acknowledge it, for me Valentines Day is just an ordinary day, nothing different, I neither send or receive cards. It must be the Chinese New Year Soon? What animal is it for this year please my friend, I am very interested. I was born in the year of boar. Kind regards. Wolfie

As it is spring is the season of love and youth so its double celebration time for you. Yes, I too heard that its Chinese New Year on that day…we have a medium Chinese community in my city and every new year, they take out huge processions with dragon dance and all..definitely worth a look and the entire city goes there to watch them perform and gorge on sumptuous home-cooked Chinese food.

Hi William! How are you doing? Sorry, to have missed your discussions. Was little busy, hope you understand. So, come September 14 is the starting of the Spring festival? Great to know that. I had no idea whatsoever. Here, we don't have any traditional festival on that day. Valentine's Day is also not a big thing with the general population and only recently people are celebrating it. Even though, I have been celebrating it since my school days but there are many who did not. In villages, people have no idea at all.

hello sir, yes valentines is also a special day here in our country its already a culture though others don't celebrate. May I ask if in your country you have red valentines and white valentine? here in philippines we celebrate it just once.only feb14. I just learn it from my chinese classmates that they celebrate it twice..Happy new to all the chinese..

as a Chinese ,it also surprise me while i came to know the Valentine's day happen to be the same day with China's most important traditional day. Of course ,it's just a coincidence. in other counties ,there were once some similar coincidences.

double happiness. this year, there will not be a lonely Valentine's day for singles =)

Aha,you are chinese?Me too.i'm a single,so i dont need to celebrate Valentine's Day. i like the Spring Festival,because i'll have fun with my friends and my relations,also i'll get enough money to buy anything i like.but on valentine's day,most people cant get money while wasting many money.for the lovers,everyday should be valentine's day.

I'm also a Chinese. I think it is difficult to decide whether to enjoy the Spring Festival with family, or spend a romantic Valentine's Day. But in my view, Spring Festival is our traditional festival, Until now, it is not just a festival to the Chinese, but a symbol of culture and familial affection. So I think it's much better to enjoy the Spring Festival. What's more, We have our own valentine's day--Double seventh festival, haa, it's also very romantic and moved.

Most Chinese South Africans celebrate Chinese New Year by attending huge dinners or balls at our community centres. The date of the Lunar Spring Festival changes according to the phase of the moon but Valentine's Day is always on 14 February. Happy New Year and Valentine's Day to all.

This year the Chinese New Year is much more special because the Valentine's Day is also on the same date. We will go to my husband's hometown during this holiday. Namely I will be absent in Mylot for about a week. I hope you will enjoy this special holiday and Gong Xi Fa Cai! I love China
