The atmosphere of Spring Festival

Hot 2471 views. 2014-2-18 00:32 | recognized, continuous, difficult, available, childhood


It is well recognized that Spring Festival is never expected with anxiety as before. It won't bring us pleasure we enjoyed many years ago in childhood. Some said that people could only eat good food at Spring Festival during the difficult times. Now with the continuous improvement of our living conditions, we can eat any delicacy that is available any time. As for wearing new clothes, we are no more subject to any restrictions. In my view, the flavor of the festival is gone with people's laziness and inaction. They prefer to purchase ready-made goods rather than do it themselves. Therefore they lose the chance to taste the pleasure hidden in laborious preparation  for the most important festival.

The Spring Festival does truly reflect the changing times of our materialistic world. Previously, we would be overjoyed with the visit of friends and relatives holding a small basket of oranges or even a live chicken. Kids would have lots of companions to play with them, receive red packets and have plenty of sweets.
Adults would talk heartily about their life and times. Gone are those days when families take efforts to prepare for food and decorations. It was so nice standing by the frying pan waiting for mom to fry those sweet brown puddings and fried treats. Everyone is relaxed and each new year is memorable.

These days, it is just a mere long holiday with visits from a few friends or relatives. Some don't even bother to visit and just well wish by telephone. A box of gold sand chocolate or cookies is the standard gift. By the 10th day of the lunar new year, decorations are removed and and all the frenzy is back to usual.

I can't understand why despite of the abundance of stuff and food, the feel of the Spring Festival is not memorable as it used to be.
