Chinese Spring Festival Hello everybody, nice to meet you on italki. This is my first time to write a composition. Hope your guys can help me to polish it. As you may know, this is Chinese New Year time, and it is family reunion time. Many Chinese people work at the east of China, such as Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing et al, where there are well developed and have large job opportunities. During the spring festival season, many people will go back to their hometown for family reunion. Some young guys will reunite with their old parent, and some people will reunite with their couple/child. At the last day of the Lunar year, family member will get together to cook many dishes, and then enjoy them. People will say various kinds of wishes each other for the New Year, such us may you be happy, good health and prosperous. During the dinner, adults will give some red covers to the kids. Sometimes it would be a big burden for some low income migrant works considering they already have spent some money on the transportation. At the first several days, people will visit their relatives/friends’ home with some gifts/red covers to say happy New Year. Many people will be happy to do so, but there are also some awkward moments. For example, young people will be asked: how much do you earn last year? Do you have a girl friend or boy friend? If you don’t have a boy friend or girl friend, sometimes the relatives will arrange some blind date for you. Most of time, the leftover girl/boy are reluctance to participant this activity. But some young people are happy to do some since they have little chance to know other people in their workplace, and they hope they can find some new girls/ boys to be their partner or couple. Anyway, Spring Festival is a happy time for family reunion. Most of time you will laugh even though there are some embarrass moments.
