just a boy and a fairy walking ACROSS A MURDER IN THE MIDDLE OF SPACE TO MEET EACH OTHER and that’s why I like Chinese valentines day

please tell me more of this amazing tale

Basically, there is this old legend about a cow herder and his fairy wife who is the goddess of weaving colorful clouds or something like that. The queen of heaven went “This mortal is not cool enough to hang out with my daughter.” So she takes her fucking hairpin and carves a goddamn river which is the milky way to separate those two. The cow herder is absolutely devastated bc they have two children and he is now a single parent. Some magpies take pity on them and once a year on Chinese Valentine’s day they form a bridge via magpie bird powers, and the cow herder and his wife meet.

I know all of this bc I’m Chinese and had to do a school project. Also a murder is for crows, not magpies.

Thank you for sharing this poignant, classic tale with us.

also i’ve met magpies and they could make a murder if they really wanted to
