Lighting Festival A day­trip away from South Korea's capital Seoul，the Garden of Morning Calm is a must­see during the Festival.

In a neighbourhood mostly consisting of non­Chinese residents，more than half of the households complied the tradition as well. Interviewing her for the story provoked my own memories of celebrating Lunar New Year. The holiday was a big deal for me as a kid growing up in Jiangsu. Legend says the holiday originated with the fight against a mythical beast called Nian，who came down from the mountains to hunt people on New Year's Eve. Villagers discovered that Nian feared the colour red，candle light and loud noise. So they began to decorate with the vibrant hue，light their homes with lanterns and set off firecrackers to prevent its return. On New Year's Eve，my family would come together to celebrate with food prepared by my grandma. Moments before the countdown，the sound of firecrackers would fill every corner of our apartment and the celebrations continued into the next day. For breakfast，we would eat yuanxiao，a kind of glutinous rice ball，which symbolizes the idea of reunion. Then，it was off to visit my grandparents，who were already awaiting us and my other extended family with lucky money and more traditional delicacy! My favourite part of the holiday came after the adults were playing mahjong. My cousins and I were finally freed from our parents. With all the lucky money，we hit the streets and bought more snacks and more firecrackers! Having immigrated to Canada for years，I further lost touch with my Chinese culture as I gradually dived into my new life in a new country. Maybe it's time for me，like her，to reclaim Lunar New Year. 4．What can we infer about Elaine Su from Paragraph 1? A．She missed her family in China very much.
