| A salesgirl arranges flowers for customers ahead of the Qixi Festival, or Chinese Valentine's Day, in Yinchuan, capital of northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Aug. 12, 2013. The Qixi Festival, which falls on Aug. 13 this year, originates from a folk tale about a fairy named Zhinu who marries a mortal named Niulang. The marriage allegedly enraged the Goddess of Heaven, who created the Milky Way to separate them. Supposedly, the pair of lovers are reunited for a single night each year by magpies that fly into the heavens and form a bridge for them to cross. (Xinhua/Peng Zhaozhi) |
