The day is Chinese Valentine day. Today, I still don't have girl friend with me. I just have a box of chcolate from my manager. So, let me tell about a love story. Why is Qixi, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, a day for lovers?! Well, it comes from an old Chinese story. A long time ago, a weaver girl lived in the sky and made clouds for her family. At the same time, on errth where a buffalo boy was talking care of his buffalo who is lonely. On day, the weavergirl was bored with life in the sky. She decided to go awimming in a river. The buffalo boy saw her and he thought she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He fell in love.While the weaver gilr swimming in thr river and tje buffalo boy took her clothes back if she would marry him. She agreed to be his wife. Ten years passed, and the happy couple had two children. The weaver girl like living on earth. but her familyin the sky were fed up with her absence. They needed her to star making clouds again. One day there was a huge storm. The sky was dark with rain and the weaver girl's mother was looking for her!! Suddenly, the weaver girl's mother grabbed her daughter. She took her back up to the sky. The buffalo boy caught up wiyh them abd the girl's mother said he could live in the sky and work. However, he and the weaver girl were so in love that neither of them did any work.The girl's mother got very angry. She decided they could not be together. So, she put the buffalo boy on one side of the sky, and the weaver girl on the other side. But every year, they allowed to meet for one short day. The day in Chinese call Qixi.
