The Mid-autum festival is upcoming

Hot 3855 views. 2015-9-23 21:32 | festivals, families, specific, meaning, family

  The mid-autumn will be upcoming at the end of this week, as the one of the traditional festivals, it has the specific meaning to most families of China. We supposed to be return hometown with my family to celebrate the short reunion time with other relatives, but, two days holiday seems too tight that I couldn’t arrange all things that I would like to do. So I was considering if I need to apply for several days of  annual leaves for this.
    I would like to take this opportunity to visit my friends or relatives. After all, I have left hometown for a long time. Even, I didn’t go home during the last New Year. Because of this, some of relatives have alienated each other, especially, as the growth of age, the communication between the cousins was becoming less and less, even though, we had how happy times together in the childhood. Sometimes, I wanted to give a phone call to others, but, when I picked up the phone, the feeling of what I should say occurring to me. The reason is that the common topics didn't exist anymore. So most time, we needed to accept the changing which already happened around us.

The Mid-autumn festival is the best chance to meet family relatives and friends. Everyone is in a colorful and happy mood. Try to go home and visit them if you can get a longer holiday. Yes, sometimes we don't know what to say to old friends which we have not seen for a long time. Lifestyles and attitudes change with time, so those relationships would need to be refreshed and cultivated again. With your experience, you should be able to strike up a conversation with friends and relatives. Don't let this chance go away. Tell us your experience when you return. Good luck my friend.

Yes, if you can't go back to hometown during the coming holidays, you can still spend the holidays here. I heard from others that it is a real nightmare to travel back to hometown during the holidays. First, you have to beg or fight for the transport tickets, then have to endure the crowded, tiring and long journey back home and then come back again repeating the same thing. I agree that sometimes friends don't connect with each other frequently, but they can remain friends through contacts through the phone and internet. Just don't forget your family, parents and call them to say a few warm words and well wishes. The holidays are quite long, so make a short trip to see nearby places is also a good idea. Have a happy holiday.
