雙11係咩日子?

11月11日唔係咩購物日，喺英國，呢個係紀念第一次世界大戰完結嘅紀念日，亦係紀錄喺戰爭中死去嘅軍人。

有一種紅色花叫Poppy，D人會掛喺心口做紀念，揀呢種花係因為佢喺第一次世界大戰嘅戰場上出現，而當時有個加拿大醫生因為失去摰友，有感而發寫咗首詩。

In Flanders Fields by John McCrae

In Flanders' fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place: and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders' fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe;

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high,

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders' Fields.

今朝萬母送小妹返學時，都昅到老師個大screen寫住Remembrance Day，呢個應該係英國學生必學嘅日子。
