<p>A Chinese friend sent me a birthday card , on the card they wrote:</p>
<p>感谢你如此精彩耀眼，做我平淡岁月闪耀星辰</p>
<p>A quick Google and this phrase pops up where people are discussing the meaning , but I can't find an origin.</p>
<p>Is it from an ancient poem, a modern song, a book, something a celebrity said once, ... ?</p>
<p>Now it seems there are different ways to say it. For example 多谢 instead of 感谢, and another variation with 岁月里的星辰.</p>
<p>Anyway can anyone shed some light on the origin please ?</p>
<p>Also , I welcome simple translation/interpretations.</p>
<p>&quot;Thank you for your brilliance, be my shining star throughout my ordinary days&quot;</p>

做我平淡岁月闪耀星辰 appears to be ungrammatical, even though Chinese doen't have much of a grammar... minimally it needs a 的: 做我平淡岁月````的````闪耀星辰

The quality of Chinese lyric writers has been in decline for many decades. Can't expect much from them

A Chinese friend sent me a birthday card , on the card they wrote:

感谢你如此精彩耀眼，做我平淡岁月闪耀星辰

A quick Google and this phrase pops up where people are discussing the meaning , but I can't find an origin.

Is it from an ancient poem, a modern song, a book, something a celebrity said once, ... ?

Now it seems there are different ways to say it. For example 多谢 instead of 感谢, and another variation with 岁月里的星辰.

Anyway can anyone shed some light on the origin please ?

Also , I welcome simple translation/interpretations.

"Thank you for your brilliance, be my shining star throughout my ordinary days"

It is originally a song lyric, although at this point you might as well view it as its own quote-- which is why you will see variations and what not. The song is 遠辰 by 陳粒。

As for a basic meaning, it is usually a love word. I am not going to pigeon hole your friend to say it *has* to be a confession though, as it could maybe be platonic or meme-ing etc-- just note it is common for the phrase to be used as a love confession. Regardless, the biggest point of the phrase is to address how special it is to meet someone important to you, and how they are shining among the sea of people in the world.

As for a basic translation, you could say something like "I am so grateful for you to shine so brightly, adding a dazzling light to my life over the years, just like the stars."

Common responses are addressing how love or fate drew you together to meet, although if it was a platonic vs romantic statement, you would want to make sure the reply sounded romantic or platonic in turn. As a note on a birthday card and actual direct reply may not be needed the way you would respond in an actual face to face conversation. Hope this helps (◐‿◑)
