several ideas explaining the creation of the S Day festival. The
most widely accepted idea is that the holiday grew out of
Nanjing University's dorm culture.
One origin story is that in 1993, four male students of the
university discussed how they could break away from the
monotony of being S and agreed that 11 November would be a
day of events and celebrations in honor of being S. These
activities spread through the university and eventually made
their way into wider society.
