In the adult world, there is no April Fools' Day; instead, there is Q2.
Q2 stands for Quarter 2 in English, where "2" represents "Second," indicating the second quarter of the year. The word "Quarter" in English not only means "one-fourth" or "15 minutes" but also refers to a "quarter" or "three-month period" of a year.
In other words, a Quarter represents a specific three-month period within a year, as there are four quarters in total.
Generally, employee performance evaluations and assessments in the workplace are conducted on a quarterly basis. Therefore, for adults, there is no April Fools' Day because they are entering the second quarter, which is a time for striving for performance and achievements. This period is significant for adults as it relates to their salary, benefits, bonuses, future career development, and family life. For example, Q2 can directly impact whether someone will be driving a Porsche or operating a tractor tomorrow.
Please note that this explanation is metaphorical and not to be taken literally. It highlights the importance of the second quarter for adults in terms of their professional and personal lives.

It is advisable to avoid wearing clothing with prominently displayed brand names, especially in English-speaking countries such as the UK, USA, and Australia. This is because the pronunciation and appearance of these words can easily be associated or understood by foreigners as "teeny weeny" or "tiny wiener," or even directly translated as a vulgar term related to "yellow" or explicit language. For example, during the recent trend of mocking a certain individual named Wu, netizens directly referred to him as "toothpick" (牙签). In this case, the English term "toothpick" can be used. Of course, it is not meant to say that Wu is a "toothpick" as a person, but rather refers to a specific aspect of Wu being compared to a "toothpick."
Different meanings of "hoe" in different contexts:
A gardening tool used for digging - a hoe.
A derogatory term:
a) Referring to a person, usually a man or woman, who manipulates others using their appearance or attractiveness to obtain what they want, similar to the term "绿茶" (green tea) in Chinese slang.
b) Referring to a person who has had sexual encounters with multiple partners.
c) Referring to someone who actively seeks attention or flirts with others.
"Who cares?" In Chinese, "who" means "谁." In this context, "谁" can refer to "anyone," and it functions as the subject of the sentence in the third-person singular form. Therefore, the verb "care" needs to be conjugated in the third-person singular form by adding an "s."
In the phrase "I don't care," the subject is "I," and the auxiliary verb is "don't." Therefore, "care" functions as a verb and should be used in its base form. The verb following the auxiliary verb should be in its base form as well.
The third-person singular form of "care" is "cares" (who cares). The past participle is "cared" (as if I cared), and the present participle is "caring" (love is caring).
Earlier, Wang Leehom posted a picture with the caption "haven't seen you in forever." Actually, the "in" is not necessary, and it can be written as "haven't seen you forever." It means that it has been a very long time since the last meeting and expresses a strong desire to see the person. It can be replaced with "haven't seen you in/for ages" or "haven't seen you for years."
As for the phrase "hello stranger" in the picture, it doesn't literally mean a stranger. It is an affectionate way of addressing someone you know, a term of endearment. For example, in China, some wives call their husbands "死鬼" (dead ghost), but it doesn't mean that the husband has actually turned into a ghost.
In another picture posted by Li Jinglei, it says "hi there, how are you doing?" Some students asked why it is "how are you doing" instead of "what are you doing." In fact, "how are you doing" means "你好、你好吗" (hello, how are you). It is a way of greeting and does not necessarily reflect genuine concern about how you are doing. It is similar to the Chinese greeting "吃了吗?" (Have you eaten?). It is mainly used between people who are not very familiar with each other. Alternatively, you can use "How is it going?" or "How are you?" to greet someone.
The response is simple. You can politely reply with "great," "good," "nothing new," "very well," "doing well," "not bad," etc., followed by "thanks." Alternatively, you can ask the other person in return or shift the conversation to topics like the weather to ease any awkwardness.
Please note that "what's up" and "what's going on" are commonly used greetings between acquaintances or can be used provocatively towards someone. For example, in one of Jackie Chan's movies, "Rush Hour," "what's up man" is repeatedly used as a greeting or unfriendly provocation, and "what's happening" is also used as a way of greeting.
