High Life

“ 柔 情似水，佳期如梦，忍顾鹊桥归路。”牛郎与织女鹊桥之约，是感人肺 腑的七夕爱情。两情相悦时，不争朝暮，但愿在最美好的时光里都有彼 此的莞尔一笑。七夕情侣对表用时间告白爱意，于千万人中一见倾“芯”。 D ubbed the Chinese Valentine’s Day, the Qixi Festival celebrates the annual meeting of Cowherd and Weaver Girl in Chinese mythology (in western astronomy the stars Altair and Vega, on opposite sides of the Milky Way). According to legend, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, a flock of magpies form a bridge for one short day to reunite the lovers, who are separated for the rest of the year. Their unshakeable commitment, dating back some 2,600 years, is such that only ageless timepieces could encapsulate the spirit. 文秦晓东 by Qin Xiaodong
