5,000 years of eclipse
Dumplings, an ancient food, are now popular all over the world, but their origins are little known. In the land of China, it has long become a symbol of the Spring Festival, the taste of home, and the bond of family affection.
A ball of flour with white flowers becomes vivid in skillful hands. No need for superb skills, just a sincere emotion, can create cute dumplings. Although the dumplings are small, they contain countless blessings and expectations. Every fold is like a trace of time, recording the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the past year.
I still remember when I was a child, every Spring Festival, my home was always lively. Mom and grandma were busy in the kitchen, and my grandpa and I were playing. The moment the lid was lifted, a scent came to my nose, and that was the moment I was most looking forward to. The family sits around and savours delicious dumplings and shares stories of the past year. At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and only warmth and happiness permeated the air.
Now, I am in a foreign land, and I miss my relatives every Spring Festival. Although I can't reunite with my family, whenever I see dumplings at the supermarket, I always bring back endless memories. The taste of those dumplings, the warmth of home, and the time spent with my loved ones have become my most precious treasures.
Now, I have learned how to make dumplings. Whenever friends come to my house, I make dumplings for them. Watching them eat contentedly, my heart was filled with joy. Because I know that this is not just a meal, but also an emotional transmission.
Dumplings, this small food, carry too many emotions and memories. It is not only a food, but also a cultural inheritance and an emotional bond. No matter where we are, no matter how far away we are from our families, as long as we have home in our hearts and the thoughts and expectations of home, we can feel the warmth and happiness of home.
