   My View of Lunar New Year
选项
答案                                   My View of Lunar New Year
     To Chinese people, the Lunar New Year is undoubtedly the most important festival of tile year. Dating back 3000 years, it celebrates the passing of a peaceful year and to welcome a new one.
     The reunion dinner, eaten on New Year’s Eve, was derigueur, with members of the extended family gathering for the most significant meal of the year. Even the absentee members would endeavor to return home in time for it.
     It underscores the supreme importance of the family in Chinese culture, and aimed at strengthening the sense of togetherness and cohesion.
     However, with rapid economic expansion and growing westernization, over time, there has been a noticeable erosion, if not abandonment, of the New Year traditions and customs, which are perceived to be out of step with modem lifestyle.
     Increasingly, more Chinese would hold their reunion dinner in posh restaurants, despite the exorbitant costs. They find it more enjoyable and physically less demanding.
     Going away during the New Year is now commonplace, sometimes involving whole families or extended families. In extreme cases, some would even seek temporary refuge in a local hotel so as to avoid being visited by relatives and friends, or having to visit them.
     What’s more, most of the cities celebrate it quietly without fireworks and firecrackers, which used to be part of the celebration.
     Will the Lunar New Year survive modem living? I do not doubt that it would gradually lose its significance. In a few or more years the Chinese New Year will be taken as a common holiday and fewer people celebrate it. Modem Chinese do not need it any more.
