Going home for the New Year is a struggle. For us in China, the biggest taste of the Spring Festival is reunion, and going home for the New Year is an idea branded in our hearts. But in recent years, more and more people don't go home for the New Year, and it is a struggle to go home for the next New Year.

I should go home for the Spring Festival, because the Spring Festival is the most important day of the year in China, and it is a day for family reunion. Parents don't want their children to earn much money outside, but as long as they can spend the Spring Festival with their parents, they will be very happy and satisfied. If you really can't go back, take your parents over for the New Year.

There are no special circumstances. You should go home for the New Year. After all, this is a day for every family to get together. Not going home will make your family sad and worry about what problems they have, and deal with them later.

How does it feel not to go home during the Spring Festival?

The Spring Festival is a family reunion festival. Because I once had the feeling of being alone outside for the New Year, I made up my mind from then on that no matter how much money I could earn during the Spring Festival, no matter how far away from my parents, I would return to them. I remember that I just became a full-time employee of the company in my second year of college graduation. Because no one worked overtime during the Spring Festival, the unit gave me six times the extra-cardiac salary and a lot of Spring Festival subsidies.

Because the normal holiday is to rest for 7 days, I calculated it carefully later, and with these 7-day classes, I can probably earn about 5,000 yuan. This amount was really a lot 65,438+00 years ago, and I was short of money when I first joined the work, so I signed up to stay at work overtime.

I clearly remember that on New Year's Eve, the weather in the northeast was very cold. I dragged my tired body back to the dormitory of the unit. Basically, all the shops downstairs in the dormitory are closed, except a small supermarket. Because the boss is in the store for the New Year, the supermarket is not closed on New Year's Eve. As a bachelor, I can't buy food and cook at all. I just picked some lunch meat and vegetables in the store and prepared to go back to the dormitory to make a delicious hot pot with our small pot for cooking instant noodles.

After I turned on the TV at home, firecrackers outside had covered up the sound of the Spring Festival Gala. Although it is very lively outside, it is extremely bleak inside. When the water was about to boil, because the short-circuit pot could not be used normally, I survived by chewing instant noodles on the 30th of that year. I called my parents to report my peace, but my tears flowed downwards. This is also the worst Spring Festival I have ever experienced in my life, and that feeling is still fresh in my memory.

It's so tangled to go home for the New Year. 2 Going home for the New Year or not?

It's the Spring Festival.

At this point, not surprisingly, we will repeat what we did last year:

-prepared a pile of books and a long list of movies, and planned to make up the debts during the holiday. As a result, I slept late in the morning and didn't get up until my parents knocked on the door to urge me to eat.

-Visit seven aunts and eight aunts regularly and take pains to answer the question that is asked every year: "How much is a month's salary"? ""Do you have a boyfriend? " "How old are you going to get married?" "When do you want to have children?" "Did you buy a car or a house? " ……

Get together with classmates I haven't seen for a long time, talk about the past of youth and the present reality. "Do you know who is divorced?" "Do you still have contact with your first love?" "Hey, let me tell you, my husband made another profit from his latest investment."

……

Finally, I was tired of these entertainment activities, so I just hid at home and watched TV for fun. However, domestic dramas still don't give Chinese people a long face. As always, the Spring Festival Evening is a large-scale spit scene.

This year, I look forward to it every year, but when it comes to Chinese New Year, I feel extremely bored. You think it will be a new look with joy, but in fact it is likely to be copying and pasting the old year.

Can the Chinese New Year really escape the routine of sleeping, eating and visiting relatives and friends? Not necessarily. I have a few friends who don't take the usual path. Whether they go home or not, they all give a year a different texture.

Take some time

success

Go to Africa to participate in volunteer activities.

@ qingqing

......

I don't think Chinese New Year should just be about eating and drinking. I hope to do something more meaningful on this special day. For example, give yourself a challenge and bring warmth and care to others. Last year, I signed up for volunteer activities in Africa and became an ordinary volunteer.

During the days with deaf-mute children, we cleaned the refugee camp, offered condolences and went to Hope Primary School to repaint the paint. Get along, only to find that communication is not by language, but by heart. What we can give may be really insignificant, but at least we can let them know that there are so many people in the world who still care about their lives.

During the Chinese New Year, I came to a strange country separated from Wan Li's home, and spent three weeks in difficult adaptation and homesickness. I have no regrets. Here, I discussed the plan of caring for refugee camps, experienced various customs and habits in Egypt, and was glad to meet people and things here. I will miss the thousands of miles of yellow sand and lonely smoke in this desert, the time of cooperation with members of various countries and the smiling faces of children, and the fearless myself these days.

When you are young, you should be brave enough to break through, so as not to leave regrets. A year with quality in mind should be defined as a memorable year. Before the start of the new year, I achieved what others called "impossible" and brought warmth to others with my own efforts. This is probably the year of texture in China.

Watching spring happily.

Spend the holidays with them

When the department is on duty, decorate the ward and deliver it with the patient at the end of the year.

@ Sugar

Pediatrician

......

I remember it was another Spring Festival, and I was assigned to be on duty in the department. I don't want to have a recurring New Year, so I take out the prepared New Year pictures and put them in the departments and wards.

Sticking Spring Festival couplets finally brought a touch of jubilant red to this single white hospital, and finally had a little New Year atmosphere. Many family members waiting for their families in the ward took out their own Chinese New Year snacks and shared them with jiaozi Tangyuan. The ward is no longer silent, people are laughing and have more expectations for the coming year.

Looking at their smiles, it is also interesting to be on duty during the New Year. Texture does not necessarily mean high material consumption. A little effort may be insignificant, but it is enough to make our year full and affectionate.

on the road

Go to Japan to collect folk songs and travel to shoot.

@ David

Travel photographer

......

I seldom stay at home during the Spring Festival, either at work or on the road. This Spring Festival, I happened to take a job as a travel photographer for a magazine. I will go to Japan for a week-long cultural collection.

I have been to many countries in the world because of my work. I have always had a special feeling for Japan. This trip is not only a purely urban streetscape shooting, but also hopes to visit the history of matcha workshop, have face-to-face communication with sushi masters, stroll through the small streets and alleys of Niding, Japan, and warm a cup of mellow sake.

I can take into account my interest in Japanese culture in my work, and I will gain a lot this new year. You can taste the most authentic matcha, learn about the oldest tea ceremony culture, and take the most tasteful cultural photos. The so-called textured New Year should be like this.

Share dishes with ...

Share hometown dishes with comrades-in-arms

......

It's normal not to go home on New Year's Eve.

My permanent residence is the railway station. I can't envy the happiness on others' faces when they rush home with big bags and small bags, because I have my mission and this is my responsibility.

I eat with my comrades almost every year, and I feel a little different this year. I suggest that colleagues from all over the country make a hometown dish to share, which can not only enhance mutual understanding, enjoy the familiar hometown flavor, but also pin their thoughts on their hometown.

Reunion doesn't have to be together. Home is where the heart is. It's a wonderful New Year to convey my thoughts and share happiness in the rice porridge full of fireworks.

Time comes and goes,

Today is yours.

Accommodation and travel strategies for foreign friends

@ Jin

Operation and maintenance engineer

......

I am a member of AIESEC International Youth Organization. Last year, I was warmly received by local host families in Sri Lanka. The hostess there takes care of us teenagers like mothers. I feel very touched. This year, my parents and I agreed to take our family as a host family to provide reception for foreign AIESEC members.

Surprisingly, this year's reception was a little black brother named Joseph. He plans to prepare for university in Guangzhou in the second half of the year, so he will visit Guangzhou before 2008 to celebrate the Year of China. I feel a great responsibility to avoid any mistakes. I dug up the history of China to make up for it, made a good strategy for Guangzhou, and waited for the arrival of my little brother.

I hope this kind of enthusiasm with temperature can be continuously transmitted in each other's feedback, which will bring about extensive cultural exchanges between the two places. If both sides are willing to give the same warmth, it will form positive feedback and promote this cultural exchange activity to continue. I am very happy to do such a meaningful thing during the New Year. I hope my little efforts can make China people's good wishes for the New Year infect every foreign friend.

Love is thinking of others.

Before your needs

As a member of the volunteer team, visit the children in the orphanage.

@ Molly

Every New Year's Day when my family is reunited, I always think of those lonely children in the orphanage. They are like forgotten stars, shining slightly in the distant starry sky that people can't see.

Last year, I took part in a voluntary visit and lived with children in an orphanage for a week. Children in orphanages have some kind of defects, so it's hard to imagine what they really look like before they really get in touch. Our original teaching plan was completely broken, from the beginning of digital teaching to the later fun games. They learn things very slowly, and it takes half a day just to remember the number 1.

There are firecrackers outside the yard, but at the moment, there is no family in the yard. We try our best to conceive many interesting activities and try our best to make them have a happy New Year. On the last day when we were about to leave, a child named Xiaobai suddenly put something into my hand and ran away.

I opened my palm and saw that it was a candy, and my tears kept flowing out. The meaning of candy to children can be imagined, but now, he chose to give it to me. This is a weighty New Year. This candy bears the children's mourning for me. It is eaten in the mouth and kept in the heart, which brings us closer.

Don't wait.

Perfect moment

Take the initiative to work overtime and take a vacation

@ Xuan Bao Er

Product Manager

......

Maybe in the eyes of others, I am a woman who doesn't take the usual path. I apply for overtime if I don't go home during the Spring Festival every year. Ask me why? There is a simple reason. Too many people go out to play and have a bad experience. I'm too lazy to go home and deal with my parents' problems. Just go to work, have a rest and triple your salary. What could be happier than this?

Working overtime in the company during the Spring Festival, there are few people, so you can concentrate on your work. After the Spring Festival, the progress of the work plan can be advanced by a big step, and then I can take a vacation directly and have a high-quality holiday without interruption.

Family is everything.

Cooking for my family.

@ xiaodongge

Office Assistant

......

I am my brother's sister. Every time he comes home, he is as busy as a bee. Clean the house and cook for the whole family. I don't think there is any delicious food that he doesn't know. Sichuan cuisine, Guangdong cuisine and Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine are all good at it, and they are full of praise after eating them. He encourages us to have cooking competitions with him from time to time, such as boiled beef competition and jiaozi competition. Everything we do is dark, and everything he does is made by the chef.

Do you think he likes cooking because he cooks too much? No, he actually hoped that my uncle wouldn't force marriage. My brother is all right, but he can't talk, like a log, and looks like an honest man who has been dealt a good card. For my uncle's filial piety, he won't care so much about his marriage.

In fact, our New Year was very happy in my brother's busy schedule, but my brother is still single. ....

In fact, it is not difficult to have a textured New Year. The difficult thing is that we are willing to pay more attention to life. Make a different flavor dish for your family, make a different travel plan, do something meaningful, add flowers and illustrations to your home layout, and so on. It's no use complaining about the boredom of Chinese New Year. Most importantly, we can make some changes in the new year, and maybe we can have a different New Year.

It's difficult to go home during the Spring Festival. What can you do if you don't go home for the New Year?

"Celebrating the New Year on the spot" has become a common trend in cities and rural areas. Although "celebrating the New Year on the spot" does not go home, it has created a new situation. Many people in the city can't go home, which will create new problems. How to make the people who stay in the local area live a good life without affecting the prevention and control of the epidemic and reducing unnecessary gathering is also a problem worth thinking about.

"The Spring Festival is a complex in the bones of China people". No matter how far it is, going home for the New Year is the obsession of many people in China who have traveled for several days.

If I can't go home this year, I won't forget it in the city. We should have more communication and comfort with our relatives who have already moved away from home, especially when children and parents wait for the warm spring in bloom.

Go back and say how to celebrate the New Year on the spot.

At present, many welfare activities, such as shopping vouchers, movie cards and subsidies, have been held in various places for the local New Year. In this case, I think welfare vouchers are preferred. For shopping, you can watch movies or go to some exhibitions. After all, these benefits are time-limited.

Also, for office workers, the Spring Festival holiday is also a time to have a good rest and take a good rest from physical fatigue. Anyway, I don't have to go home this year. The extra time is to enjoy leisure and freedom.

This year's Spring Festival may not have much flavor, so I can finally sit in front of the TV and watch the Spring Festival Gala. I believe this year's Spring Festival Gala will be wonderful.

For me, it is to catch up with the recent TV series with good reputation and have fun. With the continuous improvement of the quality of TV series and movies, I am still willing to contribute some support to China's own movies.

For young people who are away from home, eating during the Spring Festival is really a new problem. In addition to going to restaurants and ordering takeout, I suggest that it is also a good thing to prepare some dishes in advance, try to cook by yourself and get together with several partners in the same city if possible.

For those who pursue a healthy life, they can go to some local parks or roads to ride bicycles and run when they have time. I believe everyone who has been exercising outside knows that the feeling of enjoying freedom in running is definitely not fatigue, but relaxation of the whole body.

In short, this year is a special year, and a thousand words can't replace our mood of going home for reunion. When the epidemic is over, we will return, and we will have a short pause so that we can spend more time with each other in the future.
