International Online Report (Reporter Wei Yu): The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. This traditional festival, which carries the profound historical and cultural connotations of the Chinese nation, embodies the reunion expectations and broad state of mind that are shared between ancient and modern Chinese. How do friends from all over China understand the far-reaching meaning of the Mid-Autumn Festival? What kind of unforgettable experience did you have in China during the Mid-Autumn Festival?
It's been five years since The American lad Kenton came to China. In the past five years, he has worked and lived in Henan Province, made many good friends in China, and opened his own video production company. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, he wants to spend time with Chinese good friends who are as good as his own family. He said: "I like my Chinese friends very much, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I can rest with their families, with the people you love the most, chat, eat, drink and play." I feel that all my Chinese friends are particularly loyal to their families, and have worked hard all their lives, not just for themselves, but for their families. I feel like it's a place where we can learn. ”
Although there are many Chinese good friends who are like relatives to accompany him, in this festival of Chinese family reunion, Kenton also has his own homesickness, "At this time, I especially think about my hometown, and I will also miss my family." But I've also recently learned to spend the holidays with my Chinese 'family' and learn how to get along between your Chinese. ”
Kenton feels that Chinese prefer to express their thoughts and love with actions than Westerners, for example, parents may not give their children a big hug every time, but they will especially look forward to making a meal for their children. Although it is not declared in the mouth, the strong sentiment can be felt by everyone. "So, I thank China for teaching me another way to express love."
