Why do we all like to go home for the New Year?
When I was a child, the year seemed to be an anticipation, until the afternoon of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when the motorcycle waddled down the path in front of the old house.
Despite the fact that the parents were wearing thick clothes and had strong knee pads wrapped around their knees, their bodies could not help but tremble the moment they got out of the car.
The cold wind along the way, only by being down-to-earth, can the family's heart settle down.
The family sits around the dining table, this is the real New Year.
Not to mention the various snacks and toys in those large packages, the whole year of joy seems to be condensed in that moment.
At that time, I always complained about the endless sound of firecrackers all day long, and I felt that the streets and alleys were filled with bad smells from morning to night.
Even so, everyone still throws guns all day long, and the fireworks are more beautiful than who sets off.
I still remember that night when I set off fireworks and accidentally ignited the haystack of my uncle's house, that night was really thrilling, but I left a scene full of fire in my memory.
A few days later, the motorcycle started a new journey.
When I grew up, when I was playing with my mobile phone, I saw the Spring Festival army, people with large bags and small bags, driving large and small vehicles to their homes.
Even if there may be traffic jams on the road, I am still willing to go home for the Chinese New Year next year.
I suddenly remembered the sentence: "The meaning of separation is for every reunion." ”
But many times, even such a simple purpose becomes extravagant.
Everyone says that the current Chinese New Year doesn't feel as good as before, what is missing?
Do you miss a whole year's worth of food?
Is it the pride of wearing new clothes on the first day of the new year?
Or is it the joy of finally being reunited after a desperate amount of longing?
Or is it something else?
Is it the guilt of not achieving achievements in the past year, facing the guilt of your family?
Is it the embarrassment of being concerned about marriage as you get older?
Still restless, with unfinished work ?..
The more satisfaction you get, the less you expect.
The more trouble you have, the more responsibility you have.
But for me, Chinese New Year is all about keeping my family safe and healthy.
Every day without worries is the best.
Today, I am a grown up** living in a bustling city and busy with all kinds of things.
However, when the Chinese New Year approaches, the sense of anticipation to go home is still the same.
Maybe it's because of the good memories of childhood, or maybe it's the deep thoughts of my family.
The journey home, no matter how far away, could not stop us from moving forward.
On the way home, I always meet familiar faces, and those childhood playmates have now started their own families.
We talk to each other about our lives, our joys and sorrows.
At this time, you will find that no matter how wonderful the outside world is, there is no substitute for the tranquility and family affection of home.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the family once again sat around the table, tasting food and talking about the past year.
At this time, you will feel that the Chinese New Year is a kind of inheritance, a yearning for a better life.
Although the development of modern society has allowed us to have more and more material comforts, the warm atmosphere during the Chinese New Year is something we always miss.
Perhaps, the meaning of going home is to relive that good memory, feel the love of family members, and let us find our own peace in this fast-paced society.
The Chinese New Year is not only to eat a bite of hometown and put on a new dress, but also to let go of the trivial things in your heart and spend a good time with your family.
Now that I'm an adult, I understand what it means to go home.
In this world, nothing is more important than family, and nothing is more precious than companionship.
Whenever I return to my hometown and see the vicissitudes of my parents' faces, I always feel a sense of guilt in my heart.
I know that time waits for no one, and I want to cherish every opportunity to go home and cherish every moment with my family.
Chinese New Year has a different meaning for each of us.
But in any case, we should cherish this opportunity, go home for the New Year, accompany our families, and feel the warmth of home.
Because in this world, there is nothing more worthy of our cherishing than our family, and nothing makes us feel happier than going home.
In 2024, let's go home for the New Year together. What about you, this year's Spring Festival is in **New Year? I'm Mrs. Li, and I'll meet you with a better version of yourself!
