That's gibberish! Said Bender out of Futurama, when he was asked to decipher a row of 'zeros' and 'ones'. Do those numbers sound gibberish to you? Than you don't know Mandarin!
520 is actually today's date, May 20. The numbers written out (5, 2, 0), are pronounced wu 五 er 二 ling零, which almost sounds like ‘wo 我ai 爱ni 你’= I LOVE YOU.
The more passionate and romantics among you can add the numbers 1314 - yi 一 san 三 yi 一si 四, which sounds like ‘yi 一sheng 生yi 一shi世= ALWAYS AND FOREVER.
There you go. Love and numbers. Now u can finally tell your partner what s/he's been longing to hear...
A tidal wave of romance and marriage registrations swept China today, as couples couldn't resist the phonetics of love.
As a celebration initiated by Chinese netizens, "I Love You Day" first gained popularity among college students who use the day to show their feelings of love and affection. Now the "cyber Valentine's Day" is emerging as a day of romance for more Chinese couples.
The day not only added extra significance to tying the knot but causes a rush at marriage registration offices. Couples make online appointments for this day, and queue up as early as 3am in order to get married. By the end of the day, several thousand couples will have said, Yes, I will!
I love you - formed with Mahjong stones.
If you would like to read more by me, here are my novel and my diary from Ar'ar, in the northern Saudi desert. Both available on Amazon as soft and hard copy.
