November 11 is also known as Singles' Day, Guang Kun Day, Double Eleven Day... This is a spontaneous holiday of Chinese youth.
On this day, single people often spend time working and going out to create joy for themselves while still not finding their "other half".
Le Tuong Van (21 years old, Hanoi) shared: "I have not had my first love even though I am 21 years old. Normally, I feel this is quite normal because I have many other jobs to take care of. When I focus on work, I will no longer have free time to think about random things or be sad.
However, during holidays, special occasions or even free time, I still feel lonely and empty due to the lack of someone to be by my side and share happy moments during the year."
Hoang Tung Lam (26 years old, Hanoi), a bank employee, said that on Singles' Day, he still maintained his daily work and took time for himself at the end of the day.
"I have been single for over 2 years now. Sometimes, I feel quite sad because after work or on weekends I have no one to talk to, confide in, go out with, or wander around the city with.
Especially when winter comes, when I go out, I feel a little jealous of other couples walking hand in hand on the street. On Singles Day, after work, I went for a run around the lake for a while, then came home to eat dinner with my family and played games to quickly finish the day to prepare for the new working day," Hoang Tung Lam expressed.
Meanwhile, Le Pham Quynh Nhu (23 years old, Hanoi) said that she is not too worried or sad about her single status. Quynh Nhu believes that young people will always live to the fullest with ambitions and plans, and love affairs are arranged. What she is waiting for is enough "fate".
"Each person will have a different choice and perspective on love. At each stage and age, I think people will have different thoughts in choosing their "other half". Therefore, I believe that if there is enough fate, two suitable people will find each other.
Our job is to focus on cultivating and enhancing our own values and prepare everything to be able to enjoy happy moments when a new relationship comes. Singles' Day is also an opportunity for young people like me to have more things to "gossip" about with my friends. I went to a coffee shop and enjoyed today very much," Quynh Nhu said.
