Do you remember last year’s event 🔥【已结束】TiDB 社区为你准备好了给另一半的“七夕节”礼物，回复“我要挑战”参加吧！ - TiDB 的问答社区?

Last year, everyone went all out to get gifts for their wives for the Qixi Festival! As you can see, those who spent time and effort contributing to the community mostly received “Qixi Festival gifts” as rewards for their wives!

What were last year’s gifts like? Let’s reminisce!

This year’s gifts might surprise you too!

Why organize such an event?

Because I know the hardest part for everyone isn’t encountering technical issues with TiDB, as asktug can help solve those without worry! But when it comes to preparing holiday gifts for “wives,” it’s a real headache!

Among many holidays like Valentine’s Day on 2.14, 520 Day, dating anniversaries, and wedding anniversaries, Qixi is a special one:

Ancient poets wrote about beautiful love in their poems, “When golden wind and jade dew meet, it surpasses countless encounters in the human world.” Qixi is the most romantic day of the year.
On this special day, we believe:

The deeper the love, the more stable TiDB is

The theme comes from @h5n1’s idea!
Before Qixi arrives, we’ve prepared Qixi gifts for your wives!

Single friends, don’t leave yet! You can also take on the challenge! According to internal statistics (from TiDB’s female operators), the acceptance rate for confessions with this Qixi gift is as high as 99.99%! Come win this confession buff and confess to the girl you like!

“Why is work so busy?” “Another overtime for a project,” do you sometimes find that work inevitably takes away time from your significant other?

This time, you can take action to win a unique gift for your loved one.

If the love is long-lasting, why worry about the daily moments? And believe that this gift, earned through your hard work and dedication, will surpass any store-bought gift because the process of challenging yourself is invaluable.

Let me introduce the Qixi gift set:
