On November 8, 2019, in the lake of Yuyuantan Park in Beijing, hundreds of mandarin ducks foraged in the cooling air of late autumn, providing onlookers with plenty of joyful moments.

In Chinese literature, mandarin ducks are representative of faithful love, as the male and female of a duck couple always stay together. Therefore, some people joke about watching mandarin ducks on the upcoming "Single's Day" (November 11) is a great torture as it's like the ducks are showing off that they have lovers.
