[quote=BBQQ,511069]Is celebrating birthday a traditional Chinese culture? Wan, I can give you my answer. It's YES. I’d like to tell you something about my another colleague, a cute but shy young boy. He celebrated his girlfriend’s birthday three times a year. You must be surprised. A person just has one birthday, right? Why does she have three? When her parents registered her birth at the local police station, the police made a mistake when registering her birth date. The police registered Oct. 19 as her birth date. But her birthday on Gregorian calendar is November 11, 1980. Her birthday (Oct. 19) on Chinese lunar calendar falls on November 21 this year. You know, Chinese lunar calendar and Gregorian calendar are two different systems. Therefore, this girl celebrated her birthday three times on Oct. 19, Nov. 11 and Nov. 21 (which is her birthday on Chinese lunar calendar). My colleague bought a watch and sent to her on Oct. 19. His girlfriend told her she wished to celebrate her birthday on Nov. 11 again. Therefore, he bought a cake on that day. When Nov. 21 came, her girlfriend reminded him of her birthday celebration. Then he bought another cake and a bottle of wine. I couldn’t believe this when he told me.[/quote]
