Chinese New Year is one of the most important festivals for Chinese, and it is a traditional custom to go home and reunite. However, for many people, it can take weeks or even a month's salary to go home for the New Year. In this case, whether you will choose to go home for the New Year has become a very tangled question.
For many people, returning home for the New Year is a continuation of emotional connection and cultural traditions. Home is the source of emotion, and going home to reunite with your family can make up for the thoughts and concerns when you part, and get the warmth and care between your family. Such an emotional bond is something that many people cannot measure by money. Even if it costs more, they will still choose to go home for the New Year and experience the joy and warmth of family reunion.
However, on the other hand, with the cost of living and financial pressures increasing, many people also consider financial factors when choosing to go home for the New Year. Expenses such as tickets, transportation, gifts, food, etc., combined with a period of absence from work, can account for a significant portion of your monthly income. In this case, choosing to stay in the city or do other, more economical ways to celebrate the New Year has also become an option.
Faced with this choice, everyone may have their own trade-offs and considerations. Some people choose to stay in the city or spend the New Year in other ways, reducing the financial burden, but also sacrificing the quality time with their families. Returning home for the New Year, although they need to bear a certain amount of financial pressure, for them, being able to spend the joy of reunion with their families is also a value that cannot be measured by money.
Whether you choose to go home for the Chinese New Year or stay in the city, the ultimate key is personal values and emotional identity. No matter which way we choose to celebrate the New Year, when every lantern is hung high and every New Year's blessing is delivered, we can feel the thoughts and blessings for our families, and the joy and happiness when we get together with our families.
