Pop Chinese:有情人终成眷属。

yǒuqíngrén zhōngchéng juànshǔ.

有情人 终成 眷属。

All shall be well, and Jack shall have Jill.

A:他们两个终于能在一起了。
B:是啊,有情人终成眷属。
A: They finally become a couple.
B: Yeah. All shall be well, and Jack shall have Jill.




In China, as well as in other countries, people love to hear and see those who love each other get together and be married. And there is a classical saying to describe this certain situation, it reads as ” yǒu qíng rén zhōng chéng juàn shǔ(有情人终成眷属)。’’qíng rén(情人)’’ means valentine or valentines, “juàn shǔ(眷属)”means couple or partners. What’s more, in China we have a special festival called “qīxī(七夕)” which is on Jul 7th every year on Chinese lunar calendar. Chinese “qīxī(七夕)” day ,just like the western valentine’s day, is set for those couples to express their love with each other.
