Spring festival is coming soon; during these days, there are so many complex things in my mind, making me a little bit down in the dumps.
Spring festival, I used not to pay much attention to it. I thought it just a beginning of a new year, at those days, the whole family will get together to celebrate it. However things change this time. This year I can’t spend the spring festival with my family. %>_<%
When I was young, during the Spring festival, a picture will always come to my mind, a man seating in a train looking out side throw the window, in the cold winter go back to home to reunite with his family, in the last day in a year. I thought that man is really cool, drinking beers, feeling lonely, hoping to go back to home as soon as possible. However it turns to me now. I am out country and far away from home. I used to think it’s really cool a few days before! And even when my mother told me that she wanted to come here and spend the spring festival with me but I refuse her, not only for the expensive ticket, but also because I wanted to taste the experience of spending this most important festival myself.
However, with the spring festival coming soon, I am really regretted for my decision before. In these few days, there are so man pictures in my mind, showing those spring festival that I have spent with my family, and I suddenly realize that it’s such a wonderful thing to stay with family and spend the most wonderful night in the year together. However, at least this spring festival I can’t stay with them, I don’t know whether this will last in the next 9 years in Singapore. Now I really yearn that period time. But I don’t tell my parents that I miss them so much and how yearning I am to be with them during the Spring festival, because I know them miss me very much, too. If I tell them that, they will be more worried, so I choose to put yearn under my heart.
Now I have a better apprehend of that word: only when you lose it, you will know how to treasurer it. Now I have to face the fact that I will spend my 17th spring festival without my family. I think many people won’t have this kind of experience in their whole lives. It must be a most unforgettable experience in my life. Maybe both I and my parents will cry at that evening, filled with gladness and sorrow. Even I hope there isn’t spring festival at all, because I am so afraid that my parents and grandparents can’t have their spring festival as happy as before, maybe they can’t adapt to a festival without me being there with them. LET THOSE AGONISING THINGS GO WITH WIND. At least I am really proud of myself that I am so independent. And I believe my family will also think so.
I wish all of us can enjoy our spring festival in Singapore. It must be very interesting and unforgettable!

My first Chinese New Year without fimily......to be honest,I want to go back home to enjoy the great time,but the ticket is expensive and I have no time,I cannot see setting off fireworks,I cannot eat dumplings,I also cannot stay with my family.It is hard for me to adjust myself to adapt it.I have some words for both of us,"同是天涯沦落人，相逢何必曾相识“
ReplyDeleteGosh...can't control my tears!
ReplyDeleteAnyway all of us should learn to be without our dear families.This is only one kind of pain of growing up.
The first time away from home during the most important festival is always a time of reflecting and a feeling of home sickness. However, it is also a new experience, to learn how other Chinese communities celebrate the same festival. Yuor thoughts are with your family, call them and chat with them, and as you rightly said, do not worry them. HAPPY SPRING FESTIVAL or as the Singaporeans say, Kong Xi Fa Chai.
