URUMQI, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Internet users are vigorously discussing their unfulfilled dreams and reflecting on the meaning of life, as the date of so-called "the end of the world" is drawing near.

December 21 marks the conclusion of a 5,125-year-long Mayan calendar, a point associated with the apocalypse.

A post by Netizen "Sao Congcong" which simply said "1999.05.28-2012.12.21", indicating his date of birth and predicted death received immediate popularity, as millions of Internet users have imitated the format on Chinese Twitter-like microblogging site Weibo.com in the past week.
