New Year

Chinese New Year was coming. All my friends were excited and active. They planned to do something interesting to enjoy themselves in the special time. I was also very happy to ring the New Year, even though there was an indistinct emotion hidden deeply in my heart.
On New Year’s Eve, I was invited to have dinner in my uncle’s house. When I went to his house, I was surprised by their warm reception and incomparable hospitality. Even though the food was delicious and we did our best to eat, there were still lots of food left. When we were eating, we did some interesting games, we also watched the Spring Festival Party at the same time. It was really interesting. At about 11 o’clock, I had to return back to Eton Hall. On the way home, I felt that I had forgotten something important to do, but I couldn’t think it out. When checking the time on the mobile phone, I just found that I had forgotten to call my family. As soon as I got though the phone, a familiar voice appeared, “My son, happy new year!” “Happy new year!” I said. My father seemed to be very excited and told me many things about family and the New Year. After that, when I was talking with my mother, I found that she was crying. I was shocked and didn’t know what to do. In my memory, that was the first time my mother cried. I suddenly realized that my parents cared about me all the time. But I nearly forgot to call back. I felt compunctious and wanted to tell them that I missed them very much. But I couldn’t, because I know if I told them that, they will worry about me. I had to tell them I was happy to live there and there was no need for them to care about me. Finally I said “goodbye” on the verge of tears. At that time, I just wanted to fly back home to stay with my family but I couldn’t, what I could do was just reviewing the past. I thought many things which had happened in the New Year’s Eve in the past. I missed the time I stayed with my family. Eventually, I knew the indistinct emotion was the sentimentality towards home. It was hidden deeply in my heart and I just didn’t want to touch it. But finally I had to face it, which was really cruel. “Tomorrow maybe a sunny day but tonight must be a sleepless night.”
