It is just past five o'clock on the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the dinner table is already covered with white china plates and bowls, full of all sorts of dishes: chicken, duck, pork, fish and vegetables. Luo Yan, 29, lifts the cover of a large bowl to breathe in the rich smell of the soup his wife and mother have prepared. Luo Yan's son,Bofeng,happily takes a bite of the chicken his grandfather has selected for him.
除夕刚过五点钟,饭桌上已经摆满了白瓷碗碟、鸡鸭鱼肉和蔬菜,满满当当的各色菜肴。二十九岁的罗言掀开一个大碗的盖子,嗅着母亲和妻子煲的汤所散发出的浓香。他的儿子博峰美滋滋地咬了一口爷爷给挑好的鸡肉。
