If you have money or not, go home for the New Year! This is a common saying we have heard since childhood, and it is also the belief of many Chinese during the New Year. At this time, no matter where we are, whether we have money or not, we will try our best to return to that familiar place and spend this important moment with our families.
Speaking of going home for the New Year, I can't help but think of a joke a few years ago. A man queued up at the train station to buy a ticket, and after waiting for a long time, it was finally his turn, and he said to the conductor with great anticipation: "I want a train ticket to Beijing." The conductor looked at him and asked him, "Is there any money?" The guy was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Yes." The conductor smiled and said, "If you have money, don't go home for the New Year, why do you go to Beijing?" The guy was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Go home for the New Year." The conductor smiled and said, "Don't go home for the New Year if you don't have money, go to Beijing to work hard." ”
Although this paragraph is a bit funny, it also reflects a practical problem: many people do have to go home when they go home for the New Year. This is because, for Chinese, going home for the New Year is not only a custom, but also an emotional sustenance. On this special day, we can temporarily put aside the pressure of work and life and enjoy this rare time with our families.
However, going home for the New Year is also a rather "money-burning" thing. First of all, tickets are a big issue. At this time, train tickets, bus tickets, and plane tickets are hard to find, and the water is also rising. Some people, when they can't buy a ticket, will even choose extreme methods such as "cycling home" or "walking home". Secondly, the expenses after returning home are also a large expense. It costs a lot to buy gifts for parents, give New Year's money to relatives and children, and gather with friends for dinner. Some people even joked: "After the New Year, the savings of three lifetimes are gone." ”
But, even so, we are willing to go home for the New Year. This is because going home for the Chinese New Year brings us far more than the money we spend. We can reunite with our families and feel the warmth of home; We can let go of the stress of work and enjoy a relaxing time; We can reminisce about those familiar flavors of the year and find those good memories. Money can't buy these things.
So, if you have money or not, go home for the New Year. This sentence is not only a belief, but also an attitude. It tells us that no matter how difficult life is, no matter where we are, never forget the place that worries us, and don't forget the people who make us care. Because, only when we go home for the New Year, can we really feel the strong flavor of the New Year and the strong family affection.
Finally, I wish everyone who has money or no money can go home for the New Year and spend a happy Spring Festival with their families.
