In China we will celebrate our 10th, 20th, 30th birthday warmly. We think it is a very important moment in our life. At my 20th birthday my grandmother gave me ten thousand RMB for a present but my parents told her that I will not remember the money when I spend them, so they used the money to buy a diamond for me. Last week they sad I am old enough so they told my uncle to make a ring for me. Now everyone asked me are you married when they saw my ring.

In China we will celebrate our 10th, 20th and 30th birthday warmly. We think it is a milestone. On my 20th birthday my grandmother gave me ten thousand RMB for a present, but my parents told her that I will not appreciate the money when I spend it, so they used the money to buy a diamond for me. Last week they said I am old enough so they had my uncle make a ring for me. Now everyone asks me if I’m married when they see my ring.
