Chapter 4 3. Valentine’s Day is not a holiday

A few years ago, Cartier commissioned us to do a group of interviews on "Valentine's Day". Our plan was to interview more than a dozen celebrity couples or lovers, and ask them to choose a Cartier jewelry or watch as a gift for "Valentine's Day" other side.Most people are very cooperative, only a couple of very avant-garde and very respected artists were interviewed, but they just didn't cooperate. "Only people without imagination need jewelry to express love." This is the artist's answer. Our editor was very difficult, trying to persuade them back and forth, coaxing them to say something about "Valentine's Day" and asking them to order a simple gift, but the couple-especially the male-refused to cooperate.And his wife is the kind of husband and wife who follow suit, as long as the husband does not let go, she is not willing to help us.The editor really had no choice but to remember that I seemed to be a friend of the couple, so he could only plead: "Isn't Akira your friend? You say that, why does she have business with clients?"

"Don't think of Akira so vulgarly," said my uncooperative friend, "she'll understand." In the end, the editor had to come back very frustrated and report that the task was not done and that another couple would have to be found, and passed on to me all the words the artist had said about me being "not so vulgar". I was a little dumbfounded after hearing this. On the one hand, this friend still understands my attitude towards this kind of festival very well, and on the other hand, he can make things difficult for others.I finally decided to tell the truth and called the client.

"He said that only people without imagination need jewelry to express their feelings," I explained 151. "I can't change what he said, and he won't let it be deleted, or change someone else." "No need." The client's public relations manager thought for a while and said, "Just post it like this. This is also a point of view." I am very happy, it seems that the client is not so vulgar, not so commercial. I have been in love more than once in my life, but I have never had a "Valentine's Day".In my memory, when I was young, if I fell in love, I celebrated "Valentine's Day" every day.The world around me disappears, the lover in front of me is everything, and nothing else matters.I still remember that when I was in a relationship, I didn't want any interruptions. I didn't answer my phone, I didn't go to work, and I didn't see my friends.Running out to buy flowers, chocolates, or a big diamond ring in this situation seems a little superfluous.Any of my boyfriends who actually do this, I'll think that person is fake and just blow it off.Of course, this is just me.

After getting older, I have a very stable relationship, and I don't think it's necessary to buy something, go out for a meal, and go home with a bunch of flowers as soon as February 14th.At this time, it would be great if the two of them could cook a meal together in the kitchen, chat for a while, and make a fuss, even if they were busy.Of course, that's just me too. I grew up in a simple age with relatively simple expressions. It seems that love does not need a holiday, but only needs a holiday.For me, "Valentine's Day" is really redundant. But thinking about it the other way around, there is nothing wrong with having a festival to remind everyone to fall in love amidst the busy schedule.We live in the era of cartoons, everything needs form, exaggeration, and a little festival to plan everyone's life.Today is the day to have a party, tomorrow is the day to go home, and the day after tomorrow is the day to fall in love.Go home to cook on Monday, go to bed on Tuesday to have sex, and even find a PALM to write it down, so as not to forget, it’s okay, it’s okay.In my eyes, "Valentine's Day" is a cartoon festival, and every action is planned out.But it's better than being too busy to fall in love.
