Before the main body,I'd like to ask you a question,"do you know the festival Singles' Day?"If not,it might has brought you nothing.Even if you know something about it,it might hasn't brought you anything,either.Let's begin with the origin of Singles' Day.
It's commonly accepted that Singles's Day derived from campus culture of Nanjing University in China.There was a dormitory with four single men,who talked about how to get rid of the single state every night during a period.When talking,they imagined to organize an activity on the base of upcoming November 11th,which they called Singles's Day later on.From then on,this festival was widely spread and became more and more popular.Why they chose November 11th?Because there were four "1" on the day 11/11,which were like singles.
As time went by,the Singles' Day has been celebrated by more and more people,but Chinese only.
Firstly,the young hold parties for ridding themselves of single states,or to make new friends preparing for saying goodbye to singleness.Young people show their happy desires.
Secondly,so many shopping websites discount to promote sales on Singles' Day,since Taobao and Tmall being the first in 2009.It now has become the largest shopping day in the world.
There is no doubt that we benefit a lot from the Singles' Day.However,problems always come along with the benefits,so there are some problems meanwhile.
This festival,with strong atmosphere getting rid of singleness,makes some singles feel more alone.On the other hand,crazy shopping activities have some bad influences,such as busy work for couriers.What's worth,it has serious impacts to some other countries.It's reported that there is a shortage of milk powder in Australia because of the panic buying of many Chinese,which makes some local parents can't buy milk powder for their children.And there are some other problems,too.
What's your opinion to the Singles' Day?What has it brought us?Welcome to share your thoughts with others.
