520: a day of romance

Another Chinese love number: 1314

Chinese people have strong beliefs in numbers. There is another idea of communicating in numbers: 1314, which represent yīshēng yīshì (for a lifetime). So if you say 5201314, you're saying I love you for a lifetime.

When you say 520 to you loved one, be careful not to mix it up with 250 (二百五 èr bǎi wǔ), another number with a special meaning of "idiot and stupid". Trust me that your lover won't appreciate it.

Happy 520 China's Internet Valentine's Day!
