Going home for the New Year is a ritual for every Chinese
The world's largest annual migration has begun, with this year's Spring Festival travel lasting 40 days from January 26 to March 5. According to the ** period, there are about 9 billion people traveling, visiting relatives, leisure, etc., which may create a record high.
Although every time I go home for the New Year, I have to experience a torturous moment when it is hard to find; There are also crowds in the train station, and all kinds of smells in the carriage are mixed; The red envelopes sent out when you go home will spend your year-end bonus for a year of hard work; is busy visiting relatives for the New Year, and always comes back after eating fat three laps; had to deal with the fancy marriage urging and birth ...... of the seven aunts and eight auntsHowever, all people are still happy to go home for the Spring Festival, because going home for the New Year is a ritual for every Chinese, it is the DNA engraved in our bones, and it is the persistence and belief that we always want to go home for the New Year, whether they have money or not. Because, no matter how far away the journey is, how late you return home, there is always a family waiting for you under the lamp, someone setting up dusk for you, and someone preparing a table of good dishes for you.
When I was watching the news that day, a reporter interviewed an uncle who was in a hurry to go home. The uncle showed a sincere smile at the camera, he said that he was a plasterer, and this year was okay, he missed his wife and children at home, and was anxious to go back to see them. When the reporter asked him what gifts he brought home, he replied loudly without thinking: "Bring money." That tone is really a joy and pride that can't be hidden.
I think most of us are definitely doing easier jobs than uncles, at least the office is heated in the winter and air-conditioned in the summer, but why don't many people have the simple happiness of an uncle? Are we asking too much? Lust can be a source of motivation, but too much desire can sometimes be the last straw that breaks a camel's back. Let's take advantage of this Spring Festival holiday to reunite with our families, escape from this endless desire for a while, empty ourselves, recharge our energy, and make persistent efforts next year.
Go home for the New Year, once a year, you can't be absent.
