Blog 5(2) White Day


Yesterday, Zhaoyou run out of charge of my itouch. Therefore, after school in the school bus, I couldn’t get entertainment from my itouch as usual. But I didn’t want to waste time. It occurred to me that I hadn’t logged in RenRen for quite a few days. Curiously, I took out my phone and began to kill time.
It was so strange that in the column of “What’s up”, all my classmates in my previous university were posting “matrimonial notices” for their roommates. And it didn’t take long before I saw their cheers and celebrations for the “White Day”, or “White Valentine’s Day”.
Just now, via baidupedia, I clinched the definition and origin of it, and now I’d like to share with you.
During Valentine’s Day, which is celebrated by lovers all over the world,
boys show their affection to their secret lovers. While Valentine’s Day stands for the beginning of the relationship, White Day, when girls send presents to their admires, tells boys the final results of whether their sweethearts accept their proposals or not. White is the symbol of respect, and purity. On the White Day, if a boy gets a gift from the girl he sent gift to on Valentine’s Day, he also obtains the indication from the girl that she is willing to be in love with him.
Abounding with romance, this peculiar day expresses people’s expectation for true and everlasting love. Compared to the vehemence on Valentine’s Day, White Day is quieter and emphasizes more on sweet feeling between love parties rather than resonant promises.
If we look deep into the period between Valentine’ s and White Day, a month, which is often neglected by lovers, we will find that it is of great significance to the love parties. Young people nowadays are not very sensible. Once one takes a glance at one’s lover, one deems he/she is supposed to be her/his permanent company. However, this kind of imprudent conduct leads to nothing other than separation. After a month’s inspection, a young person will be able to recognize the strengths and weakness of his/her prospective lover and then decide whether to join hands or not. A relationship based on mutual recognition is certain to be solider than without acquaintance.
Anyway, both two valentine’s day encourage people to pursue for true love and both of them have their own features. Today is not White Day. It’s International Day for Consumers' Rights and Interests. A little abrupt as I may seem, I still want to show best wishes to all lovers: all shall be well, jack shall have jill. Especially, hope all SM3 20th Batch students find their true love in the near future.

  1. Oh,I did not know there is a White Day before. I also found many of that kind of messages which is aimed at finding a lover for your roommate. And I agree with you on that we can not find a lover just by one galance. Is there any success sample that someone found a lover with the help of his or her roommate? Haha.

  2. One month's time between Valentine's Day and the White Day indeed provide a good opportunity for boys and girls or lovers-to-be get to know each other.Sometimes young people just have good impressions of appearance rather than inner characters.And that is why many lovers break up in a short time after get together.They may find each other not so perfect as imagination.So to set aside enough time to let them think calmly is necessary.

  3. Aha,I should admit it is not easy to find my love in the NEAR FUTURE. It is said that there are totally 12 Valentine’s Days in a year, but they even seldom know 14th March is Valentine’s Day.
    ________Inner characters are too mysterious.

  4. This Valentine stuff is a commercialism in disguise. And thanks for introducing this White Day. I'll have never heard of it. Another commercial scheme?It is rightly we shouldn't take it seriously. However, when you are in love, the world is perfect and there'll somehow be roses and chocolates everywhere.Banish the thought for now but have as many friends of both sexes as possible. Choose wisely and sensibly your life partner, if you must; otherwise wait till you are financially independent. Sorry for being so un-romantic.
