Hey~ 11.11 is Singles’ Day in China, is there a day like this in your country?
Tomorrow is Singles’ Day in China. Is there a day like this in your country? Singles’ Day is called 光棍节 in Chinese. 1 just looks like a stick, and we call single man as lonely stick(光棍) in Chinese. Also 1 represents single, there are four 1s in 11.11, so it means huge loneliness. Haha.
single people may complain about their loneliness, or join some activities to find his/her love in this day, or just stay at home to continue his/her not too bad single status.
And i know it's Pepero Day in Korea on 11.11. It's called 빼빼로 데이 in Korean. But it's different from the Singles’ Day in China. I don't know it well but it seems to celebrate the friendship between friends. Who knows better?
I want to know what are you doing on 11.11?
I'm going to celebrate for my loneliness, wuuwuu~
Happy Singles’ Day! 光棍节快乐哦~

Your entry is well written. I have only two small comments .I would change a few wörds in the sentence, " single people may complain about their loneliness, or join some activities to find his/her love in this day, or just stay at home to continue his/her not too bad single status. "
I would say."Single people (or just singles) may complain about their lonliness or take part in activities to find his/her love on that day, or just stay at home to continue (or be content with) his/her happy single status
Singles life varies in this country from place to place. In my town it's great but other towns are more family oriented.
I eliminated the word some because it really isn't necessary and we don't use it in English nearly as much as you do in Chinese.
We join organizations, clubs and different groups but we take part in activities.
Not too bad single status sounds a little awkward to me.

We don’t have a “Single’s Day” as such. Our singles’ events and clubs all have their own agenda. In my town we have a singles Mardi Gras Krewe and we celebrate Mardi Gras with parties, dances and other events all year long.
We also have a “Sadie Hawkins Day.” The basis of Sadie Hawkins Day is that women and girls take the initiative in inviting the man or boy of their choice out on a date, typically to a dance attended by other bachelors and their aggressive dates. Sadie Hawkins Day does not have a fixed date, although the day originated in Al Capp's classic hillbilly comic strip, Li'l Abner on November 13, 1937. Sadie Hawkins dances, to which the women invite the men of their choice, are usually held on the first Saturday after November 9th.
This pseudo-holiday was popular when I was young. I don’t know if it is now.

I'm so glad that I found a Korean thing in your article,
on Pepero day, Young Korean couples give/take a specific snack which looks like chopsticks.
you know :) chopsticks are similar to 11.11
I like the idea of single's day, :)
takecare~

It´s the first time I hear of the singles day. Finally some meaningful celebration on the scene! Isn´t it a bit paradoxical, that the Chinese, the most populated nation, invented the Singles´s Day?
I think being a single is great in so many ways, except one little thing - the singleness. (I intended to find some more Wildean sentence, but sorry, it´s over my capacities!)
