As one of the most important traditional festivals in China, the Spring Festival is a core activity for family reunions and food sharing. At times like these, young people often want to get involved and add a youthful touch to the family's traditional activities. But at the same time, their fashion choices can become a discordant note in family events.
In Zaozhuang, Shandong, Ms. Li and her sister encountered such a scene. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the sisters excitedly joined in as the family sat around the dining table to make dumplings to welcome the New Year. However, their elaborate manicure was awkward in the traditional activity of making dumplings. The long nails not only make it difficult for them to pinch the stuffing and pinching the skin, but also leave visible nail marks on the dumplings.
Faced with this scene, the mother's expression became complicated and indescribable. She may be both helpless and confused. Helplessly, she understands her daughters' desire for fashion, but wonders why these fashion choices are inconvenient in traditional family activities. In the end, she chose a relatively subtle way to express her attitude, telling her daughters to stop and do something else.
Ms. Li and her sister may have felt a little embarrassed by their mother's reaction, but they also felt their mother's tolerance and pampering. This kind of understanding and tolerant attitude allows them to be more calm and confident in the face of netizens' doubts and ridicule.
The reaction of netizens was more direct and sharp. Not only do they question the nail art itself, but they also challenge women's aesthetic standards and lifestyles. Some netizens believe that nail art is only a woman's preference, and men don't like this kind of dress. Some netizens believe that women with long nails give people the impression that they are not diligent and do not do housework.
