It's that time of the year, isn't it？ It's time for a Valentine's, no, anti-Valentine's Day special.
又到了一年的情人节或者说是反情人节特辑, well love it or hate it, it happens every year.
Just about as soon as the calendar turns over, love is in the air; or to be more precise, in the shopping centers, restaurants, bars, on all sorts of e-commerce platforms and all over social media.
Throughout early February, you can't turn around without seeing boxes of chocolate, Teddy bears holding a heart and all sorts of Valentine's Day decorations.
Loved by some, loathed by others, Valentine's day is widely regarded as the ultimate day of cheesy, unapologetic romance.
So whether you go all out, splurge on the luxury Valentine's Day experience for you and your sweetheart, or you prefer to go low key, just ignore the holiday together; or if you are hopelessly single.
I'm sure at some point, you've wondered about the origin of Valentine's Day where did it come from？
Now I know a lot of people in China would say it's a western holiday, but where in the West and when, and most importantly how?
While some may be vaguely aware that the occasion takes its place from a famous person called Valentine or Saint Valentine, they may not be acquainted with the full history of Valentine's Day.
可能有人知道西方的情人节是圣瓦伦丁节, 就是有一个人叫圣瓦伦丁.
The history of Valentine's Day actually finds its roots in ancient Rome and it's not as rosy and romantic as you might want to believe. So in today's episode, let's dig deeper into the un-romantic history of Valentine's Day.
So one thing to keep in mind, saint Valentine actually could refer to several people. We don't really know which saint Valentine the holiday technically celebrates.
The Catholic church has records of at least three different martyrs named Valentine or Valentinos.
