Speaking solely about Valentine's Day, it was introduced from Europe and America, and during the Japan-China friendship period, it was further promoted. However, in Europe and America, people exchange gifts mutually, not only men proposing marriage but women proposing as well. Japan is even more so; on Valentine's Day, girls give chocolates, and on White Day, boys return the favor. In China, it has become a day for men to spend money—chocolates are not enough, they want this and that. The 80s and 90s were just about having an extra date. What has postmodernism become—like a grandma?
