Chinese saying

Today is 5.20 May the 20th. It may seem like a normal day for you, but for others, especially in China, today is a very special day! It’s a day of love.

In Chinese internet slang, 520 (wǔ èr líng) sounds similar to 我爱你 (wǒ ài nǐ), which means “I love you.” Because of this, May 20th (5/20) is celebrated as a modern, unofficial Valentine’s Day in China. People use the number 520 to express their romantic feelings online or through text messages.
