The New Year is the most memorable thing in people's lives, every New Year's Day, Chinese no matter how far and how difficult it is, they have to rush home to reunite with their families.
Last year, the houses on the old homestead were rebuilt, and according to the custom, they must spend three years in the old home. So, years ago, I returned to my birthplace with my family.
In the mid-1990s, when my mother died of illness, my brothers and sisters all went to the city to do business, and the houses in my hometown were empty and unoccupied, and I could only spend the New Year in my hometown every year. Although the number of times I spent the New Year in my hometown was not as much as outside, I had a special love for the new year in my hometown and never forgot it.
The taste of the year in memory is that it snows, wears new clothes, sets off firecrackers, and goes from village to village before the tenth day of the first year, and adults take their families and relatives to visit the New Year. Despite the snow outside, people who worship the New Year are endless, and when they meet, they greet each other, and they have all the good words and full of New Year's flavor.
Nowadays, once low-slung adobe houses have become high-rise buildings, sheep gut paths have become wide cement or asphalt roads, and the roads are full of cars and cannons to greet relatives.
All in all, after decades of absence, back to the birthplace for the New Year, except for the bridge built during the Republic of China period, which is still lying on the Steaming River, the rest has changed, become very fast, very good.
