In China, Double Eleven Shopping Day comes every year. And there is a similar day in the United States-Black Friday. It has been considered as the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Although it's not an official holiday, millions of workers have the day off, and many people buy things on that day. A similar day in Canada and Great Britain is called "Boxing Day".
Black Friday has become somewhat of a marketing sensation (感觉) in recent years. Since 2005, it has been the busiest shopping day of the year. To lure shoppers, retailers (零售商) usually open their doors as early as 4 a.m. and offer special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive early.
But why is it called Black Friday? Historians (历史学家) believe the name started in Philadelphia in the mid-1960s. Bus drivers and police used "Black Friday" to describe the heavy traffic that would block city streets because of too many shoppers there the day after Thanksgiving.
Businesses, however, didn't like the bad influence about the "Black Friday" name. In the early 1980s, a more positive explanation (建设性的解释) of the name began to spread. According to this explanation, Black Friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit (获利) for the year. In accounting terms (会计行业), operating at a loss (亏本经营) is called being "in the red" because accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts (亏本账目). Positive amounts (盈利账目)were usually shown in black ink. Thus, being "in the black" is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit (盈利经营).
Recently, for those who are too busy to shop on Black Friday or who just don't want to fight the crowds (人群;拥挤), the Monday following Black Friday has become known as Cyber Monday (网络星期一) for the many online deals (交易).

Louis Cha Leung-yung, one of the most influential(有影响力的) Chinese novelists and better known by his pen name Jin Yong, passed away on Oct.30th, 2018, in Hong Kong. Cha was most famous for his wuxia novels.
During his lifetime, Jin Yong wrote 15 martial arts novels. Over 300 million copies of his works have been sold in the Chinese-speaking world. He also created some of the most well-known characters in the history of Chinese literature, including Guo Jing, Wei Xiaobao and Linghu Chong.
Jin Yong was not the first person to write about the martial arts world known as jianghu, but no one can deny(否认) that he has written some of its best stories. His works were not only a joy for people to read, but also helped to shape Chinese people’s spirit and values in recent decades(十年). Jin Yong once said, “Wuxia (martial arts novels) is not so much about wu (kung fu), but mainly about xia, a combination(结合体,联合体) of courage, justice(公正) and self-sacrifice(自我牺牲).”
These values have been passed on to generation of Chinese through his books, as well as a large number of movies and TV shows that have been adapted from his novels.
“Jin Yong turns novels into an encyclopedia(百科全书) of Chinese history, medicine, geography, mathematics …” Boston University professor Petrus Liu told NPR.
Jin Yong once said that he hoped people would still read his books even 100 or 200 years after his death. We can say as long as the noble(高尚的) qualities that are mentioned in his stories never die out, neither will his great works themselves.
