As time goes by, we are always distracted by the trivialities of life and forget about the festivals that have left their mark on our hearts. The Spring Festival, as the most important traditional festival in China, is now quietly facing a grim reality.
Have you noticed that the post-50s and post-60s generation is getting older? They are the bond of our family, the protagonists of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the old people who sit around and tell stories. Whenever the Spring Festival comes, their familiar smiling faces can always evoke our childhood memories. However, such a scene is about to become history, as if it were a silent teaser that makes us have to face the impending empty nest.
When we repeatedly neglect the interaction with our elders and rush to celebrate the Spring Festival year after year, perhaps one day, when we suddenly look back and find that our lovely and kind grandparents, grandparents and grandparents are gone, the sense of loss will be indescribable. At that time, the empty chair in the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was not only a quiet scenery, but also a regret that could not be filled in the bottom of my heart.
The meaning of the Spring Festival is not only to eat and drink well, but also to the strong emotions when the family is reunited. Just imagine, without those hands that prepare a sumptuous dinner for us, and without the family affection in those laughter, will the once lively Spring Festival become deserted? And how can our children understand the true meaning of this holiday?
So, maybe there's something else we can do now. While they are still around, you might as well spend more time with the elderly and listen to their stories when they were younger. Let them feel our care and love, so that our Spring Festival will become more abundant and fulfilling with their participation.
In the future, the Spring Festival may no longer be a lively party, but a lonely memory. If we don't cherish the present, then what we lose becomes our irreparable regret. The Spring Festival is not just a festival, it carries the memories and emotions of several generations. No matter how the times change, may we all live more warmth and memories in this long river of tradition.
Seize the time with your family and let the Spring Festival become the eternal warmth in our hearts.
