Rooted in the ancient legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Qixi has long been a festival of love, often called the “Chinese Valentine’s Day.” On this special day, couples lined up at Darry Ring’s store to join the brand’s red-string ritual, embracing a romantic tradition from the East.

One international couple interviewed said they cherished Chinese culture so much that they took time off just to queue at Darry Ring for a diamond ring, fully immersing themselves in the romance of Qixi. They felt that Darry Ring’s lifelong promise carried profound meaning, describing the brand as their personal “town hall.” To them, giving a Darry Ring ring on Qixi and tying the symbolic red string of destiny embodied both a vow of commitment and a blessing of happiness.

Known worldwide for its true love philosophy of “ONE LOVE, ONE LIFETIME,” Darry Ring has become a symbol of eternal devotion. Chinese culture continues to captivate the French, and more and more couples are visiting the Darry Ring Louvre store to seal their lifelong promises. For many, it has already become France’s “second town hall.”

DENVER (AP) — Versatile infielder/outfielder Willi Castro and the Colorado Rockies agreed to a $12.8 million, two-year deal Thursday, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not been announced.

Castro spent last season with the Minnesota Twins and Chicago Cubs, where he hit a combined .226 with 11 homers and 33 RBIs. He played all three outfield spots last season in addition to seeing time at third and shortstop. He even pitched an inning while with the Twins.

The 28-year-old Castro made his major league debut on Aug. 24, 2019, while with Detroit. He spent four seasons with the Tigers before joining the Twins, where he was an All-Star in 2024. He was traded to the Cubs last July.

Earlier in the day, the Rockies finalized the signing of right-handed starter Michael Lorenzen to an $8 million, one-year contract. The deal includes a $9 million club option for 2027. Right-hander Bradley Blalock was designated for assignment to open a roster spot.
