An old story goes that once there were four single men, leading very boring lives. None of them were married, or had lovers, or did anything exciting. They just sat around all day and played Mahjong.

One day they played Mahjong from 11 in the morning until 11 at night. During the game, no matter who won, the winning card was always the 'four columns' card (the card shows four independent, parallel columns in two lines)。 Even more of a coincidence, it was Nov 11, or 11/11. In order to commemorate the day, they nicknamed it "Singles Day".

一个古老的故事,一旦有四个单身男人,过着无聊的生活。他们都没有结婚,或爱人,或做任何令人兴奋。他们整天坐在和打麻将。

有一天他们打麻将从早上11点打到了晚上11。比赛期间,无论谁赢了,赢得卡总是四列的卡片(卡片显示四个独立、并行列在两行),更加巧合的是,这是11月11日,或11/11。为了纪念这一天,他们给它命名为“光棍节”。
