With the Spring Festival approaching, Chengdu, a city with a long history, is once again immersed in the joy and anticipation of the festival. At this time, whether it is the people who go home from all directions, or the strugglers who stick to their posts and can't go home, they are looking forward to a New Year's dinner that can warm their hearts. As a beloved traditional custom, the reunion dinner is not only a meal, but also a symbol of family reunion, family and friends sharing family fun.
In the streets and alleys of Rongcheng, the preparation of the reunion dinner began early. Chengdu people's love and attention to food is reflected in every culinary detail, whether it is home-cooked mapo tofu, spicy chicken or more flavorful hot pot and string of incense, each dish is a summary and gratitude for the past year's life, and wishes and longing for the coming year.
And for those who can't go home, the city is their home. Frontline workers such as doctors, police officers, and sanitation workers, as well as migrant workers from far away, are doing their part to make the city more welcoming and harmonious. For them, the meaning of the reunion dinner is not only material satisfaction, but also spiritual comfort.
In this emotional festival, communities, businesses, charities and other forces have also joined in, and they have organized one after another heart-warming reunion dinners, specially prepared for those who stick to their posts. Table and table delicacies, not only local traditional flavors, but also innovative dishes with modern elements, each dish carries the deepest respect and gratitude to these strugglers.
