The much-awaited Spring Festival is getting closer and closer to us!
However, on the days when we should have returned home for a reunion, because the epidemic was still spreading, many places across the country issued notices encouraging local New Year's Eve.
Because of the sweep of the latest virus "Aomi Kerong", there is even a group of children in Tianjin who want to spend this special Spring Festival at the isolation point. The youngest of them is only 5 years old, in order to let parents understand the child's situation for the first time, the hospital specially arranged for children to video call with parents. In order to let the children recover as soon as possible, the hospital also adopts an integrated Traditional Chinese and Western medicine program to carry out a one-person,1-strategy treatment plan for the children. In order to make the children eat well and sleep well, the staff at 7 o'clock every day as always brought breakfast to the children. Lunch and dinner are all meat and vegetarian combinations.
At the same time, in order to enrich the children's learning life, the isolation point also carries out a variety of interesting courses for children, including music, handicrafts, technology, indoor sports and so on. Seeing this scene, netizens shouted: "The isolated life of children has become a different kind of winter camp across the Spring Festival!" What is even more touching is that when the reporter came to the isolation point, he happened to meet a mysterious "gift package" in the breakfast in the hands of the children. In addition to reading books, colored pens, colored paper, board games, shuttlecocks, jump rope... I also received a unique "greeting card".
They expressed their good wishes to the children at the isolation point in innocent words: "Your bravery and strength make us proud, come on!" "Believe in yourself! Trust the healthcare workers! "We believe that the road ahead is bright and the haze will eventually dissipate." "Wash your hands frequently and drink plenty of water during this period of quarantine."
The children who received the gifts smiled one by one, the memories of their parents, the full rescue and treatment of medical staff, and the care of all walks of life, bringing full warmth to the children in the isolation point, and also making the children ignite their determination to defeat the new virus again and again.
No matter where you are, full of happiness and security, it is also the best New Year's gift for children.
Every transmission of love is a different expectation for the New Year
In order to thank the help and support of all walks of life, some children in the isolation ward also picked up colored pens and colored paper to seriously create cartoon paintings.
Under the brush, the doctor is holding a large needle to defeat the virus, and under the blue sky and white clouds, there is a smiling face full of hope.
At this time, the heroic medical staff has long become the most solid backing in the hearts of the children, with this strength and optimism, the children are more confident to defeat the virus as soon as possible and reunite with their parents as soon as possible.
The sudden outbreak of the epidemic has also quickly turned Henan into a "hard-hit area", and medical workers in the frontline are still fighting in the frontline of the fight against the epidemic before the Spring Festival. Some of them are parents and some are children.
In the face of the severe epidemic, they are determined to carry out this perseverance to the end.
Just as Zhao Ning's head nurse had not left the hospital for several days, between breaks, she took off her mask and turned on the surveillance video in her mobile phone. Through the video, she saw her ten-year-old daughter incarnate as a mother. While taking online lessons, he took care of his sister, who was only 4 years old. Put shoes on your sister, comb your hair, feed your sister, coax her to sleep... Everything is on the line!
At this time, seeing that her eldest daughter, who was still a child, had already shouldered the burden of life, Zhao Ning burst into tears of sadness in an instant, and felt sad that her daughter had endured the hardships and difficulties of life at a young age.
Instead, the daughter comforted herself, asking her mother to pay attention to protection, and the daughter would take good care of herself and her sister. The mother uses her modest efforts to escort the patients, and she also has to fulfill the responsibility of being a sister for her young sister.
Although the day of the Spring Festival reunion is getting closer and closer, we carry this two-way love to make the day of waiting for the reunion more worth looking forward to and meaningful.
Every package hides the "flavor of the year" of childhood
Because of the epidemic, many college students also choose to celebrate the New Year on the spot. At this time, the love and thoughts of parents have also become heavy express delivery, coming from all directions. 60 pounds of large packages; 17 pounds of dumplings, chicken, duck, goose, pig, cow and sheep; steamed sauce of fried wax... In order to let their children eat the taste of their hometown, parents are eager to move the refrigerator directly over.
Some parents, in order to make it more convenient for the children of the "handicapped party" to cook, these parents have packed and processed the New Year goods in advance, labeled them, prepared them with ingredients, and even sent them green onions and coriander.
The love of the family is always delicate and warm, and the taste of the hometown contains the full love of the parents. As long as the child casually loves to eat, they will remember it in their hearts, even if they can't go home, they must give the child a full taste of the New Year.
These packages, which are thousands of miles away and span the north and south, are full of parental love and concern, and also soothe the tired and lonely hearts of children.
Overseas New Year, my heart is still full of the taste of my hometown
Recently, a friend's circle of friends said that he had to spend his third year in the UK this year because of the epidemic. Returning to China for the New Year has long been on the list, but at the end of the year, it has failed again. In particular, the child's enthusiasm for his hometown has decreased, and the degree of intimacy with his parents has decreased, which makes friends inevitably feel a little sad.
But fortunately, video communication has also inadvertently brought each other closer. The parents in the camera often look at their children and grandchildren on the other side of the world and laugh, but their eyes are full of tears when they laugh and laugh.
The epidemic has blocked the opportunity for relatives to meet each other, but it has cut off the worries and thoughts between relatives.
When the clock rings at twelve o'clock in the morning, the video phone rings on time. With the sound of firecrackers, it must be a ding, a promise and an expectation of parents.
Although it is impossible to go home for the New Year, the "New Year's taste" has long flowed into the hearts of children.
Tang Xuchen, who also studied in the UK, has not returned to China for the New Year for two years. In order to let yourself be in a different place, you can also find the traditional taste of the year in a foreign country.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, she will meet her classmates to come home, knead the dough, make the noodles, roll the skin, mix the stuffing... This made Tang Xuchen, who had never pinched dumplings, a little busy for a while.
Although the dumplings are not as beautiful as those wrapped by his mother, the dumplings he finally ate made Tang Xuchen find the feeling of being at home for a while, and also found the sense of ceremony for the Spring Festival.
Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, this is not a luxurious and sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve meal, but in their eyes it is a very delicious feast, and they have also experienced a Spring Festival with a different flavor of the year.
No matter where the New Year is, happiness can not be less
The pandemic is in its third year, and our lives have changed to a greater or lesser extent. But no matter how it changes, as a traditional festival in China, the Spring Festival cannot be changed in its expectations and significance. It is especially important to create a happy way for children to celebrate the New Year.
1. In the New Year, there must be a sense of ceremony to bring the children to clean up together.
In addition to the old and the new, let children participate in family labor, not only can increase the Atmosphere of the New Year, but also through labor to exercise children's ability to live.
Bring your children to buy New Year goods together. Let the children truly experience the process of buying and purchasing New Year goods together, so that the children can feel the joy of the Spring Festival on the street and the expectations of people.
Dress up the Chinese New Year home with your children. In the process of pasting the Spring Festival, parents can also tell their children about the origin of the Spring Festival customs, so that children can know more about the Spring Festival. The child's hands-on work also adds a New Year's flavor to the family.
Prepare Chinese New Year's Eve meals with your child. The whole family gathers around the table to prepare Chinese New Year's Eve meal, and such memories are very precious to children. Chinese New Year's Eve night the whole family eats a reunion dinner together, picks up red envelopes, chats, and watches the Spring Festival Gala. In the atmosphere of "family reunion", we will welcome the arrival of the Lunar New Year together.
There is a saying in "The Little Prince": "The sense of ceremony is to make a certain day different from other days, to make a certain moment different from other moments." "The sense of ceremony can make ordinary days shine, and it can also make ordinary life tasteful."
Children who grow up in a family that is ritually rich, emotional, and taken seriously by their parents are also more capable of creating happiness.
2. Bring your children online to visit the New Year.
The epidemic has made it an easy thing for the whole family to reunite, but a kind greeting and a warm blessing have made people feel full of vitality and affection in an instant. Friends and family, five brothers and sisters, because of the epidemic can not return to Hebei for the New Year, can only stay in their respective cities for the New Year.
When I was a child, I would eat Chinese New Year's Eve meal with my younger siblings around my parents. On that day, the hot-tempered father will become extremely gentle, and the mother will spoil everyone even more. Even the large balls of meat in the dumplings are not seen on weekdays.
In the eyes of friends, that Chinese New Year's Eve meal is not only dumplings, but also "Nian"! In order to find the feeling of eating the New Year meal, at this time, when the family is ready to open the banquet, they will click on the group chat video in the mobile phone, and then look at the dishes on the table of each family, or the dishes prepared by the parents when they were young, even the process of eating the New Year meal is the same, the first bowl of dumplings is offered to the gods.
After the whole family eats the lucky dumplings, there will be good luck throughout the year. The mother said, "Let's eat!" "Five tables Chinese New Year's Eve the meal across the screen is lively! The whole family said their blessings together, and at the moment of raising the glass, the friend quickly froze the picture.
A few years later, whenever a friend sees this warm photo, an enviable smile will rise on his face.
Feelings need to be constantly maintained. New Year's Greetings is one of the most ways to connect feelings. In order to narrow the distance between children and relatives and friends, the New Year must not be less!
3. Create a unique Spring Festival memory
I once saw on the Internet that a netizen shared the scene of the New Year when she was a child: the family gathered in a circle to draw lots to see the fortunes of the coming year. Every year she prepares many signs and waits until she has finished Chinese New Year's Eve meal to start. In the coming year, they will come up with new tricks, write new year's wishes on paper, exchange each other's wish notes, or small ideas on how to make each other laugh.
Whenever she sees her parents' wishes, she will always inadvertently hide her New Year's message, which makes her enjoy the happy time with her family. It is also these interesting words that narrow the distance between parents and children, so that the warmth of home enters each other's hearts.
Sometimes, your inadvertent praise and expectation may become the child's love of life and courage to move forward. No matter where you are, as long as the family is together, it will be full of happiness and sweetness. Even if you grow up, as soon as you recall the scene of the New Year in your childhood, you will have infinite familiarity and beauty in your heart. These warm pictures are the most beautiful marks on the road of children's growth.
The cohesion of the family has also become closer and closer in this small blessing again and again; this unique taste of the year will be passed on from generation to generation.
Write at the end
Zhang Wenhong said: "In the next year, through the establishment of immune barriers and then to the listing of therapeutic drugs, this year may be the last 'cold winter' of epidemic prevention and control, and the future days will only get better and better." ”
Nowadays, because of the epidemic and the problem of distance, many people feel that the taste of the year has changed. In fact, many things have been changing, but year after year, the strong family relationship between us and our families has never changed.
The Atlanta Daily newspaper in the United States found that the happiness brought about by "gathering stories and memories" at home is far better than material satisfaction and even academic achievement.
Therefore, love the child, just give him a little touch in every ordinary day, which will become the brightest light on his growth path!
No matter where you are this year for the Chinese New Year, let us have a Spring Festival full of happiness with our children!
