Nowadays, the day means more involvement in the afforestation campaigns.
Online advertisements invite couples and families to plant their own tree in that day as a witness for their love and happiness.
"Celebrity Forest" have become common in China's universities and enterprises, where notable guests are requested to leave trees, rather than their epigraph.
Long gone are the days when slogans written in white paint on a tumbledown wall in the countryside read "plant more trees and have fewer babies to get rich".
"Planting trees for the sake of the environment and ourselves" has been deeply rooted in common people's awareness.
"It is not only fashionable, but more importantly, it is meaningful for our descendants," said "Green Spring", echoing the Chinese idiom "The forefathers plant trees, where their descendants can find shadows to enjoy the cool".
