1. Singles’ Day is an entertainment festival popular among young people in mainland China. It is held on November 11th every year. “Singles” refers to single people. It originated from Internet culture and campus culture, is popular on the Internet and among the people, and is an unofficial, informal and non-traditional festival.

At the same time, it is also a period when major merchants (especially online shopping) offer discounts and promotions on the grounds of stripping.

2. As for the origin of Singles’ Day, there are different opinions. The most widely accepted theory is that it originated from Nanjing University in 1993. At that time, there was a dormitory called "Mingcaowuzhu". Four senior students held "bed talks" every night. For a period of time, the theme of the talks was how to get rid of the bachelor state. During the talks, they came up with the following idea. The upcoming November 11th (the number 1 symbolizes "single", it is also said that the shape of "1" is like a bare stick) will be organized as "Singles' Day". Since then, Singles' Day has gradually developed into a campus fun culture in Nanjing universities and even universities around the world. As batches of students bid farewell to campus, this festival was gradually brought into society. With the large group of adult single men and women, as well as the spread of group activities and online media, Singles' Day became popular in society and developed from Singles' Day. The "Take Off Festival".
