Chinese New Year is one of the most important traditional festivals of the Chinese nation, and it is a warm dream in everyone's heart to reunite with relatives and share the joy of family. However, as time goes on, the traditional custom of pressing money seems to have become more complicated unconsciously.
Aunt Zhang in the story may represent the voice of many people. My mother's home is a place full of childhood memories and family ties. However, every Chinese New Year, it seems to have become a stone in Aunt Zhang's heart, which makes her unable to let go. The difference in New Year's money between the brothers not only put Aunt Zhang in a dilemma, but also caused unnecessary conflicts and disputes in the family.
The different practices of the third brother's family and the second brother's family highlight the awkward position of money in family affection. For the elderly, family ties and emotional bonds are far more precious than money. However, in real life, money seems to have become a yardstick to measure family affection, making getting along with family members complicated and tangled.
What's even more embarrassing is that after trying her best to weigh up, Aunt Zhang encountered unreasonable accusations and excessive criticism from her third brother and daughter-in-law. In the traditional concept of family affection, mutual understanding and tolerance are the cornerstones of family harmony, but in reality, money disputes often mask this.
However, New Year's money is supposed to be a way to show love and blessings. In this Chinese New Year, perhaps we can re-examine this tradition and change the New Year's money from an exchange of money to an expression of warmth. Among family members, it may be advisable to have more care and understanding, and less money consideration, which may make the family more harmonious and happy.
Therefore, in this special Chinese New Year, let's redefine the meaning of New Year's money. Instead of seeing it as an exchange for money, it is a way to express affection and care. May all families be treated with warmth, happiness and laughter in the new year.
