Make a thorough cleanup
In Chinese tradition, we would clean our house before the two days of Chinese lunar New Year so that we have a brand-new outlook in New Year. But this year is very special. I surprised to find my childhood recollection——a box which's stored in my drawer for a long time. All in it is my favors, my treasures.
It is a music box. When I turned the spiral spring, three Hello Kitties started to dance and the music resounded with my memory. I took my treasures one by one and tried to search all the stories about them. They gave me a lot of happy memory. Though the cleaning make me so tired, I still feel so happy.

Make a thorough cleanup
A Chinese tradition is to clean one's home before the Chinese Lunar New Year so that we may have a "fresh start" to the New Year. Normally, this is a thankless burden, but this year's cleaning was truly different. The reason being that, while cleaning, I found my childhood music box, which was long-stored and forgotten about in my drawer! Inside of it were all of the favorite items and treasures of my youth.
When I turned the box's spiral spring, the three Hello Kitties still danced and, the music still played just as I recalled. I then took out my treasures, one by one, examined them carefully, and tried to remember all the stories of their acquisition. That provided me with a lot of happy memories. Thus, despite the fact that the house cleaning caused me to be so tired, physically, that was more than off-set by the emotional joy I felt in "re-discovering" my "lost" music box in the process!
Tracy, as always, another good essay! Apologies for the quick (and late!) correction, but as you know, I've had little free time recently. As always, should you have questions as to my choice of words/wording, please feel free to ask me. - J.
