Value of Family Commemorated on Chinese Valentines

Aug. 4, 2008 - PRLog -- California – An educational website that provides Chinese-English education materials is celebrating Chinese Valentines Day (or “Qi Qiao Jie”) to promote appreciation for family.  This year, Qi Qiao Jie falls on August 7, Thursday.  

“Chinese Valentines is not just about ordinary love, but about the appreciation of having our family with us,”  says Ray Ritchey, owner of ChildBook.com.  Chinese Valentines is based on the legend of a Heavenly princess who marries a mortal.  When the princess is taken away by her parents, her family crosses the Heavens to get to her.  

Ritchey adds, “In this hectic day and age, we can celebrate family by having simple together-time at home.  Have a story-reading session.  Listen to music.  Watch DVD movies together.”  

In commemoration of Chinese Valentines, Childbook.com is featuring special Chinese books and CDs for kids – with special prices - that will reinforce one’s appreciation of family.  

“Even though some of us may consider legends as children’s tales, these old Chinese legends still have the power to remind us of what is really important in modern-day living.”
