When the Spring Festival meets Valentine's Day, this is what cross-border people plan...

The time we spend together always passes quickly. In the blink of an eye, it is already the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the annual leave for most cross-border workers has quietly passed halfway.

Today is not only the third day of the Lunar New Year, but also February 14th of the Gregorian calendar. In the midst of the bustling Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day in the West has also come to add fuel to the fire.

Yesterday, "Valentine's Day copywriting" and "Valentine's Day emojis" were trending searches, and this morning, "Valentine's Day" and "couple outfits" were also trending searches . Netizens were discussing it enthusiastically on Weibo, and the Moments were also very lively. The editor was caught off guard and ate a wave of dog food...

In previous years, Valentine's Day would occasionally coincide with the busiest days of the Spring Festival, and this year's encounter between Valentine's Day and the Spring Festival seems to be extraordinary.

There is a saying like this: In 2021, February 11 is New Year’s Eve, 12 is the Spring Festival, 13 is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and 14 is Valentine’s Day. 11121314 means to love wholeheartedly for a lifetime . The editor really admires the imagination of netizens!

When the Chinese New Year meets the Western Valentine's Day, what plans do people traveling across borders have under the combined power of the two festivals?

Warning! The hurdle that singles can’t overcome has come

As age approaches, troubles also come one after another. Now a problem that many cross-border people are worried about is " being urged to get married during every festival ". Going home for the New Year is inevitable to receive warm greetings from relatives and friends. Some sellers complained that their mothers started nagging them to find a partner on the first day of the New Year, and this year is destined to be difficult...

Valentine's Day, Chinese Valentine's Day and other festivals have always been unfriendly to singles . This year, Valentine's Day happens to fall on the third day of the Chinese New Year. Single cross-border people have to deal with temptations from all sides while eating dog food in their circle of friends. Single people say it is even more heartbreaking!

However, there are also many cross-border people who really want to find a date, but they have not met the right person or are too busy with work . The elders are concerned about the life events of the younger generation, and opportunities like Valentine's Day are rare, so perhaps many blind dates have already been arranged.

Previously, a video analysis said that during the Chinese New Year, 80% of the people who saw a man and a woman walking slowly at a distance were on a blind date , which made many netizens call out the truth. Who knows what the scene will be like on the streets today...

On the other hand, the opposite of cross-border singles are cross-border people who are no longer single or married. Just like some people watch the Spring Festival Gala on time on New Year's Eve, while others resolutely do not watch it, these cross-border people also have different ways of celebrating Valentine's Day.

The editor conducted a simple questionnaire on the arrangements of cross-border people on Valentine's Day today. The results showed:

Some cross-border people are not interested in Valentine's Day and have no special plans for it;

Some cross-border people plan to send a red envelope to their significant other to express their love;

Some cross-border people attach great importance to Valentine's Day and plan to take this opportunity to ask their boyfriend/girlfriend to watch a movie together. Some cross-border people have already started making travel plans for Valentine's Day, and the sense of ritual is also complete.

In this way, this year's Valentine's Day seems to have a greater impact on singles of marriageable age who return to their hometowns for the New Year. The elders are already very concerned about their children's relationship problems, and the arrival of Valentine's Day is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire of urging marriage.

Why are so many cross-border workers suffering from pressure to get married? Putting aside the cross-border workers who enjoy single life, why are those who want to get out of being single still single? The words of an Amazon seller may hit the nail on the head: There is no love to talk about when doing cross-border business!

Do you have to be prepared to be single if you want to travel across borders? !

This Amazon seller is not making this up. A screenshot of a WeChat chat record resonated with countless cross-border sellers, and it also gave us a glimpse into the busy daily lives of sellers. The specific content of the chat was as follows↓

A: Let’s break up.

B: Why???

A: You analyze data during the day, you look at traffic totals at night, and you watch product conversions at midnight. All you can think about is Halloween, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas sales, and Valentine's Day. Just get over it with Amazon.

A: Why don't you speak? Are you mute?

B: I'll tell you later. I'm launching new products.

Some sellers see it very clearly: working on Amazon means devoting all their time to their brother-in-law. They don’t have much personal time to begin with, and after work they just lie around at home. It would be strange if they could still be single!

Even though they have returned to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year, the sellers are still concerned about their work. Some even said that they wanted to return to work right after the New Year .

During the New Year holidays, the seller groups have become visibly quiet, and the friend circles are filled with more warm and daily life. But if you think that all cross-border people are spending the New Year at home peacefully, you are wrong!

It is true that eating and sleeping at home during the Chinese New Year is the norm. Playing poker and mahjong are almost essential pastimes for every family, and cross-border people are having a lot of fun grabbing red envelopes in the group.

However, sellers are not indulging in the comfortable atmosphere of the New Year. Some are still packing goods on New Year's Eve, some are welcoming the New Year in flash sales, some are replying to emails while eating, some are reading books and charging at home, some are thinking about product selection, and some are studying short videos ...

There are also sellers who pay attention to the sales of their stores from time to time. During the Chinese New Year, they are still worried about the lack of sales of their products. However, some sellers have reported that the order volume of Valentine's Day products has increased significantly, which is really good news.

Seeing everyone being so diligent during the Chinese New Year at home, I feel really ashamed of myself. I will work hard to be like these sellers in the new year!

The Year of the Ox is here, have you set your New Year’s resolutions?

In the past year, we have had both gains and losses. The new year has arrived, and all cross-border people should also move towards new goals!

Couplets carry people's good wishes for the new year. Recently, a couplet exclusively for Amazon sellers has been circulating in the circle of friends. The upper line reads "Organic Well CPC well profit day by day", the lower line reads "ACOS less claim less order more and more", and the horizontal scroll reads "Jeff bless us" . Every word and sentence really touches the hearts of Amazon sellers!

Undoubtedly, everyone is looking forward to the new year, and cross-border workers have also set their own New Year's resolutions. For example↓

Many cross-border people are determined to find a partner this year, and some are planning to get married.

There are also cross-border people who want to exercise more in the new year, go to bed early and get up early, start fitness, and lose/maintain weight;

More cross-border people are looking forward to "making more orders", "developing more customers", "making more money", "saving money to buy a house", "achieving financial freedom"...

Regardless of whether you have any plans for Valentine's Day today, or what New Year's resolutions you have set, the day when cross-border workers leave their hometowns and return to work is getting closer and closer, and a busy year is about to officially begin.

Here, the editor wishes all cross-border people good health and smooth work in the new year. It would be even better if they can have a double harvest in love and career!

Valentine's Day

Spring Festival
