Friday, January 4th 2013 was a very special day. Hundred thousands of Chinese couples were married that day. Can you guess why?

Friday = 5 (Day number 5 in a week)

January 4th 2013 = 201314 (when Chinese write dates, they start from year, to month, to day)

So, Friday, January 4th 2013 would be written as 5201314 in Chinese.
