Best Answer

Chinese do not have three birthdays. What might be confusing to some is that many of the Chinese will celebrate their lunar calendar birthday instead of their western calendar birthday. Some may even celebrate both.

The lunar calendar is based on the moon and it's cycle so the date is different each year in correspondence with the western calendar.
