Zhinv soon fell in love with Niulang and came down secretly from the heaven to the earth and married him. They lived a happy life and gave birth to two children. Unfortunately, the Goddness soon found out the fact that her daughter married a human being（凡人）. She was very angry and took Zhinv back to the heaven soon. Niulang was very sad after his wife Zhinv left him. His ox began to talk and help him fly to heaven to meet his wife. When he was about to catch up with his wife, the Goddess found Niulang and used her hairpin to slash it across the sky and created the Milky Way to stop him. Then Zhinv became the star Vega and Niulang the star Altair. They were separated（分开）on the two banks and could only cried with tears. Moved by their love, lots of magpies（喜鹊）formed a bridge for the couple to meet each other. The Goddess was also touched by their love and finally allowed them to meet on the 7th of the 7th lunar month every year, which became today’s Double Seventh Day, the Chinese Valentine’s Day.
