The Spring Festival, a festival with a strong cultural heritage, has long been deeply imprinted in the hearts of every Chinese. It's not just a simple celebration, it's a cultural tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years. The meaning of the Spring Festival is far more than the festival itself, it represents the memory of an era, the reunion of a family, and the pride of a nation.
Whenever the Spring Festival comes, Chinese, no matter where they are, will leave everything at hand and embark on the journey home. This is a kind of homesickness that cannot be parted, a kind of attachment to home, and a kind of love for the homeland. The Spring Festival seems to be a powerful magnetic field, attracting hundreds of millions of wanderers to return to their hearts like arrows. They crossed the mountains and rivers, just for that sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, only for that cordial greeting, only for that long-lost family affection.
The atmosphere of the Spring Festival permeates every corner. The streets and alleys are filled with red lanterns, and festive couplets are pasted on every house. The sound of firecrackers and the laughter of children fill the air, with the aroma of dumplings and the smell of gunpowder from fireworks. It is a festival full of joy and peace.
As we get older, the Spring Festival seems to have gradually lost its original joy and liveliness. As adults, we are burdened with more responsibilities and pressures, and the Spring Festival seems to have become a heavy burden. We need to buy New Year's gifts for families, gifts for the elders, and those unavoidable red envelopes. Every expenditure is like a mountain, and it is breathless.
And those frequent dinners are even more exhausting. The gathering with relatives seemed to become an endless "interrogation". Those who are unmarried have to face the pressure of urging marriage, those who are married have to face the pressure of giving birth, and those who have children have to face the pressure of giving birth to a second child. Every gathering is like an inescapable battle, and there is nowhere to escape. What's even more embarrassing is the endless comparisons. Neighbors always like to show off their home and show their superiority at this time. They talk about their children's grades, jobs, cars, houses, as if all of this is a sign of success. And in this comparison, we always seem so small and powerless.
Despite all the unsatisfactory expectations, the Spring Festival is still our traditional festival. It represents reunion, harmony and hope. No matter how much stress and hardship we face, we should cherish this moment to reunite with our families and share each other's stories and joys. After all, the Spring Festival is not only a festival, but also an emotional sustenance and inheritance. February** Dynamic Incentive Program
