Скачать или смотреть Chinese Homophones 520 谐音文化 520

520 originated as a slang word used by the Chinese online community as a shortcut for “I love you”. Over time, it began to be associated with May 20th, and thus China’s online day of love was born! The trend on this day is for the post-80s and post-90s to express their intimacy and love for significant others, or perhaps someone they wish to be romantic with.

When you pronounce the number 5, 2, 0 in Chinese, 五二零 wǔ èr líng, they sound very close to the words 我爱你 wǒ ài nǐ. See? They don’t sound exactly the same, but they sound quite similar, and that’s enough!

Have a sweet and lovely day full of love!

Share your love, as much as you can, today, and every day by using 520!
