Chinese valentines' Day

This is a love story about Cowherd and Weaver girl.

There are seven fairy sisters bathing in a lake. A young cowherd named Niulang (牛郎) didnt know they were bathing, and pick up their clothes. when fairy sisters finishing bathing, they cant find thier clothes, they are looking for help.

i cant really remeber the whole story, at the end it seems like the youngest and most beautiful sister Zhinü (織女) to retrieve their clothing. from Cowherd. And she fall in love with Cowherd at the first signt, and same as Cowherd. Like all the love stories, they are married.

But this is not the end of this story, unfortunatly, ZhiNu's mother, the Goddess of Heaven disagree with their marriage, she thinks it s rediclous that one of her fairy daught is married a guy who jusr a mere mortal. so she taking out her hairpin,  scratches a wide river in the sky to separate the two lovers forever.

But magpies take pity of them and organize all the magpies in the world to fly up as a bridge between mortal to heaven, so that the lovers can get together for a singel night.

This is called Qi Xi (七夕)- Chinese Valentines' Day. Anyway happy Valentines' Day to everyone.
