The New Year's bell rings, and the festive atmosphere fills every cornerPeople ushered in the most important festival of the year - the Spring Festival. Every house is lit up,Family reunion,But behind this celebration, there are some distressing realities.
In a corner of the countryside, there was a middle-aged woman named Auntie, but her face was full of sadness. Every Spring Festival, she has to face a double pressure of psychology and economy. The couple is not in good healthAround 60 years old,Life is barely maintained by growing vegetables and raising pigsAnd the three daughters have long been married and cannot provide for them.
During the Spring Festival, my aunt's house was very livelyRelatives and friends are in an endless streamFrom the first day of the new year to the fifteenth day of the new year, every day is a scene of reunion. However, behind this gathering is a huge pressure. Preparing exponential dishes for each meal is a huge expenseAnd the biggest headache for my aunt is the New Year's money. There is an endless stream of children from relatives' families, and everyone has to take red envelopes, which is a huge expense.
The aunt has repeatedly advised relatives not to bring their children to visit the New YearAs long as everyone gets together for a simple meal, but few people listen. For her,New Year's greetings are supposed to be an exchange of heartsand not the exchange of matter. She believes that the Spring Festival has increasingly lost its original meaning and has become a feast for the people and money.
Some people may think that a few thousand dollars is just a small amountBut for the average rural family,But it's a lot of money. Money is spent, people are tired,But you don't get real happiness. Young people are reluctant to go home for the New Year, and they are reluctant to visit relatives and friends, not for no reason, but because the Spring Festival is becoming more and more meaningless, just a virtual bustle.
We can't help but ask,What is the essence of the Chinese New Year? It's family affection, it's reunion,Or is it New Year's money and excitement? Maybe we should reflect on itReturn to the original wish and truly appreciate the meaning of the Spring Festival.
