Q1: How will you celebrate Valentine’s Day today?

1.

We’ll go shopping, and then study.

Maybe not. We’ll probably go shopping and watch a movie.

2.

I’m single, so I’ve never really celebrated Valentine’s Day.

I got up very early this morning and we plan to walk around the shops at Xidan. I’ll just hang out with my good friends from school since I don’t have a boyfriend.

3.

Have dinner together.

4.

I’m married so I don’t think I need to celebrate Valentine’s Day any more.

5.

We celebrated our last Valentine’s Day in Tianjin. He set off many fireworks for me. Today we are going to watch a movie and go shopping. In the evening we’ll invite my Mum and Dad to join us

The four of us will celebrate together, because my parents are the two people I love most in the world and he is the third, so the four of us will be together.

6.

This is my son and this is my daughter. My wife is at work now. I think I’ll buy her a rose this evening. Nothing too romantic. It’s just that I’ll do more at home because today is Valentine’s Day

7.

I’ll buy her a huge beautiful bouquet of flowers to make up for last year, because I was too busy at that time.

8.

Buy some nice stuff for my mum.

Q2: What does Valentine’s Day mean to you?

1.

If I wasn’t single, I think it would be romantic: To be woken up in the morning by a text message from my boyfriend telling me how he plans to spend the day. And when you’re not expecting it, he’ll give me a big surprise.

2.

For me it’s not a very important day.

Just so-so.

It’s an opportunity to enhance relationships between couples and to preserve family harmony.

3

Maybe you are shy of telling her something, but it’ll be easier to find a time to say it on Valentine’s Day

4.

It’s the day for couples to be together and happy.

5.

It’s for lovers, and to be happy.

6.

(Woman) My feelings about today are warm, soothing and romantic. He didn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day until he met me.

(Man) But after a while, I enjoyed celebrating it.

7.

I think it’s like an anniversary. Happiness is all over the place.

And lots of people celebrate this special day.

For me selling a rose is kind of like sending out a blessing of happiness

Q3: What’s the most important thing in a relationship?

1.

Love?

2.

First comes love

But sincerity is very important too.

3.

I think we need to trust each other.

That’s the foundation and assurance of love.

4.

The most important…is that the two of us work hard together…well to be honest, to make money in order to raise two children.

5.

(Woman) I think it is tolerance and trust. It’s honest feelings that I think is most important.

(Man)I think it is trust.

6.

You should have each other in your hearts and commit yourself to your lover sincerely.

7.

The family love between us. That’s the most important in my opinion. That’s why I chose my husband. The feeling of being with him is quite different from being with others. So the romance of Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean as much to me as the ordinary daily life with him.
