Singles’ Day: when it was born
Singles Day (Guanggun in Chinese) was born in China in the first half of the nineties, when some students of the University of Nanjing chose November 11 as a day dedicated to lonely hearts and as opposed to Valentine’s Day.
The date 11/11 was not chosen at random: each number symbolically indicated one of the four single people who had conceived this anniversary.
In China it quickly takes hold and becomes the occasion for parties, events and karaoke in company, strictly forbidden to couples, but the Single Day is destined to become famous all over the world for much more …

Singles Day: when did it get famous?
Initially, during Singles Day, parties and events reserved exclusively for singles were organized while stores and shops tried to attract this type of clientele.
With the advent of social networks, the anniversary has spread more and more throughout China and beyond: in 2009, the founder of Alibaba, Jack Ma, chose to launch a discount campaign during Singles Day.
Given the great success of the initiative – just think that in recent years Singles Day is the day when you buy the most things in the world – Alibaba has transformed a celebration limited to China into a global commercial event.
