Called "520", which sounds similar to "I love you" in Mandarin, this celebration, which originated on the internet, falls on May 20 every year. Many people propose, register their marriage or confess their feelings to their partners on the special day, as they believe the day will bring them good fortune and a happy life. [Photo/dbw.cn]
