More Information:

In Chinese, we have a special term for the person whose birthday is today~
We use "寿星(shòu xīng)" to refer to the person whose birthday is today.

"寿(shòu)" means "Age"
"星(xīng)" means "Star"
So we can translate "寿星(shòu xīng)" into English as "Birthday Star"

For example~
Today is 4 / 28.
Momoko's birthday is 4 / 28.
So Momoko is "Shou Xing" today.
