On the day of Lidong in Jiangshan City, Liang Chen had to go on a business trip to Shanghai for about a week.
He left the day before November 11th, which happens to be Singles Day.
That day was a Friday.
This holiday, which first rose to popularity on the internet, is a festival for single people. In recent years, more and more people have been celebrating it, even those in relationships have joined the ranks of Singles Day celebrants.
Out of the eight colleagues in Jing Haohao's office, six of them either had boyfriends or were married.
On Singles Day, Jing Haohao and another single colleague were the only ones not celebrating, while the other colleagues had received gifts and flowers from their boyfriends or husbands.
