A Memorable Spring Festival
The Spring Festival is the most significant traditional festival in China, symbolizing the reunion of families and the beginning of a new year. It falls on the first day of January in Chinese lunar calendar, usually lasting for 15 days .
During this Spring Festival, we had a variety of celebrating activities. First of all, a few days before the festival, my family and I cleaned our house thoroughly to sweep away bad luck. In addition, we also decorated the house with red couplets and paper-cuttings, which added a strong festive atmosphere. Most importantly, on New Year's Eve, all family members sat together to have a big reunion dinner with a wide range of delicious dishes on the table. After the dinner, I watched the Spring Festival Gala with my parents, discussing on the excellent performances of the actors. Last but not least, children set off fireworks, lighting up the night sky and filling the air with joy.
This Spring Festival was really unforgettable and meaningful to me. I felt the deep love and warmth of my family. I hope our family will always be healthy and pleased, and that our traditional culture can be passed on from generation to generation.

Just at that moment, many memories came back into my mind. When I was ill, she was always the one taking care of me. When I had trouble with my studies, she never lost faith in me and encouraged me to keep going. When I arrived home during the weekend, she always prepared my favorite food. All her kindness came back to me. I should be grateful for all (she had done for me). I just realized that all the scolding from my mother was due to the fact that my mother really cared a lot about me. Tears rolling down my cheeks, I made my way home immediately.

When arriving home, I saw my mother sitting at the dinner table, worried and tired. She must have been looking for me everywhere. I was ready for her anger and shouts. However,before I could apologize, my mother saw me and gently said, “Oh, honey! You're back! Come inside. You are probably very hungry? I cooked your favorite noodles...” No longer able to control myself, I stepped forward and cried in her arms. “I'm sorry, mom. I should make an apology for my rudeness to you. I shouldn't quarrel with you. Mom, I love you. Thank you for all the things you have done for me.” “I am very happy that you can understand me. My dear, I love you forever." Mom said warmly. We hugged each other as tightly as possible, our eyes filled with tears. That night, I grew up.
