Even before the day of February 14th, candy, flowers, and gifts have already started to be presented among romantic messages between the couples in love, all in the name of St.Valentine. Valentine’s Day, originally a western holiday, has enjoyed increasing popularity in China, especially among young people.

However, it seems the traditional celebrations, with a candle light dinner and roses are no longer sufficient to meet the romantic demands of the ‘trendy generation’. More and more people are trying to create their own way to spend this day for wooing and cooing. So, on today’s show, let’s follow our reporter to get a taste of a special way to spend Valentine ‘s Day: making a cake designed and made by your own hand!

“People always buy roses, jewelries and something beautiful for their lovers. I myself always enjoy a romantic dinner with my loving boyfriends on that special day. But this year, I’m trying to give him something new, though I am still thinking about it. ”

Just like many other people, 20-something Fang finds it’s boring to spend the Valentine’s Day the usual way. She is trying to figure out a new way to celebrate: giftst? – so cold! Traveling? Too time-consuming! Candle light dinner? Too ordinary!

However, Wang, a stylish tourist guide, has found a satisfying way to express her love, making a cake all by herself. In a DIY cake-making workshop called “Ziwei Wuyu”, we found Wang busy making a black forest cheesecake.

Wang tells us, “It’s the second time I’ve come here, DIY cake making is so interesting. I enjoy the process very much. You know, firstly I’ll bake a fine cake base, and then I’ll apply different colors of cream on it, lastly, and also my favorite part, I’ll decorate the cake with fruits or chocolates carved in the shape I’ve designed. For me, the most exciting part is the designing, I mean, it’s wonderful to design a cake all of my own. I’ve made a cake for my boyfriend once for his birthday, and I’m preparing for another for the coming Valentine’s Day. I plan to decorate it with chocolate reflecting the features of his face, and put different colors of heart-shaped decorations around it. You know, the heart shape is used as a symbol for love. I hope he’ll like this sweet cake made by his sweetheart.”

Su, Shop keeper of “Ziwei Wuyu” tells us that, like Wang, many people, from various age groups have visited her DIY shop since it opened three months ago. Most of her clients have been young people, especially lovers or couples. Some of them come together to enjoy the experience. Boys always voluntarily take on the more laborious part while girls make beautiful decorations. The scene is always sweet. Sometimes, just like Wang, they come here alone in preparation for a big surprise.

Su has her understanding of the popularity of DIY cake.

“Nowadays, when people can easily just buy a cake, how come DIY cakes are becoming so popular? Personally, I believe it is the process that embodies sincere love and care, which is rare in the hustle and bustle of the city. I still remember the first time I made a cake for my husband. He was so moved. More than just a cake, it’s a touching way of expressing your love, no matter whether for lovers, parents or even friends.”

As a trendy young girl, Wang also shared one of her most romantic Valentine’s Day. Like many young people she managed to flavor that day with excitement and novelty.

“The most romantic Valentine’s Day for me must have been the time I spent in Australia. My boyfriend and I hired a helicopter to visit the famous Heart Reef, a place naturally-sculpted as a perfect heart shape. You know, the heart represents love and romance. It was really amazing to spend the special day at that very special place!”

Although Wang can’t be together with her boyfriend on this year’s Valentine’s Day, she has found a way to entertain herself, Wang tells us, “My boyfriend will not be in Beijing at that time, but I’ll send him a picture of me, along with this beautiful cake. On the day itself, I’ll enjoy myself anyway, doing something like hanging out with my friends.”

For Lee, a 20-something media man, it’s not the first Valentine’s Day he will spend single, but he seems to be doing quite well anyway. For him, being alone never means being lonely.

“For me, Valentine’s Day as a bachelor can also be meaningful. I’ve gotten used to it. I mean, after all, it’s only a day. And it’s also a weekday. I’ll have dinner with my friends, perhaps, but no special plan!”

Though DIY is a good way to express love, Su believes true love has always been the key. The best Valentine’s gift she has ever given was telling her husband of her pregnancy. It will also be remembered as an unforgettable moment for both of them. She concluded that every day can be Valentine’s Day for those who cherish love.

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance.

This day’s important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddha’s body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central Plains to the whole of China.

Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. “Guessing lantern riddles”is an essential part of the Festival.

Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged during people’s enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

People will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also called the “Yuanxiao Festival.”Yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling. Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes sweet and delicious. What’s more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar pronunciation with “tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family. joozone.com
