Dear friend,
I would like to introduce you to one of the most important festivals that we celebrate in China, which is the Spring Festival. It is also known as the Chinese Lunar New Year. The date varies each year as it is based on the lunar calendar, but it usually falls between January 21 and February 20.
During the Spring Festival, customs and traditions that have been passed down for centuries are still observed. Families gather together and have a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve. We also decorate our houses with red lanterns, couplets, and paper-cuttings. In addition, children receive red envelopes with money from their elders as a symbol of good luck and blessings.
I still remember the joy and excitement of the Spring Festival when I was a child. The streets were filled with crowds of people who were all going shopping, eating delicious food, and watching fireworks. It was a time of happiness and warmth that brought all of us together.
Nowadays, the way we celebrate the Spring Festival has changed, but the spirit remains the same. It is a time for family, love, and hope. I hope that one day you can come to China and experience the joy of the Spring Festival with us.
Best wishes,
[Your Name]
