In May,we celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month,or AAPI Heritage Month.My family comes from the country of Bangladesh,a country in South Asia.Tens of years ago,members of my family moved to the United States.They lived in New Jersey,where some other relatives had already lived.
While family members have got used to American ways of life,the Bangladeshi culture is still alive through our food and culture.Traditionally in May,we go to my grandmother's house and make homemade paratha,fresh mint tea,aloo tikki,khichri,and phirni,all of which are delicious Bangladeshi foods.
When my mother was growing up,she often asked my grandma to make paratha.“Even now,I ask my mum to make paratha.Having my mum's paratha brings back something from my childhood,” she says.
Often,we start our morning by picking fresh mint from my grandma's garden,which we later use in our tea.We then collect what is needed for—the star of our breakfast,paratha.Some simple things include flour (面粉) water,and salt.The most important part is kneading the dough (揉面团).Many things can go wrong,such as adding too much water or not adding enough flour.With practice,the end result is fried bread that is thin.
Shortly after our light breakfast,we prepare aloo tikki.It starts with mashing (捣碎) potatoes.My grandma often uses pink salt and lemon to make the potatoes taste better.Next,the potatoes are shaped into small round pieces and fried in oil.The final thing on our menu is phirni,a rice pudding.It's the perfect way to end a Bangladeshi meal.
My grandmother moved to the U.S.as a teenager.It's a gift to learn about her experiences,and to learn from her about the tastes of Bangladeshi culture.Although Bangladesh is a lesser known Asian country,through people like my grandmother,Bangladeshi culture and traditions will continue.

On the traditional Chinese calendar,Qingming,meaning clear and bright,falls on the fourth or fifth day of April.Across China the arrival of Qingming is accompanied by rising temperatures and frequent rain.Like other solar terms,Qingming is to guide the agricultural affairs and farming activities.Besides,it is also a time for people to enjoy spring and get closer to nature as trees turn ever greener and flowers bloom.
Besides being one of the Twenty-four Solar Terms,Qingming is also known as Tomb Sweeping Day,when people honor their ancestors and deal with the feelings of losing loved ones.Qingming is the only Chinese public holiday that is also one of the Twenty-four Solar Terms.
Though the solar term Qingming was first recorded in the Western Han Dynasty,it was not until the Tang Dynasty that it was declared a national holiday to honor ancestors.People celebrate the festival with customs from another traditional Chinese festival,Hanshi,meaning “cold meal”,which falls two days before Tomb Sweeping Day.
On that day,families get together and visit their ancestors' tombs.They have the tombs cleaned,replace withered flowers with fresh ones and place snacks,fruits and drinks to the ancestors.Special food is served on Tomb Sweeping Day.Qingtuan with sweet fillings is one of the most popular foods.Boiled eggs are also associated with Qingming,with some areas following the tradition of egg painting.
“Qingming shows the traditional Chinese value of honoring the dead,” says Zhang Bo,a secretary-general of the China Folklore Society.“We miss the dead family members.We show our respect to them,honor them and will always remember them.Though the celebrations of the particular festival have gone through many changes,the spirit of the festival never changes.”

Whatever the size or location,I love going to book festivals. 1 They give me the chance to connect with my favorite authors and readers who care about books as much as I do.There is a magic in being surrounded by people who have read my favorite books and can recommend the next favorite book.
If you're thinking about attending a book festival,there are a lot of factors to consider to make sure you have the best experience possible. 2 Some of these festivals can be pretty expensive,especially when you factor in hotel and travel costs.You can put money away each month so that you don't go into debt when the time comes.
Another factor you want to look at is: What do you want to get out of the event? 3 Do you prefer mostly sitting in the audience of more interactive activities? Start looking for events that fit your criteria (标准).Check out event listings on your favorite authors' websites.Once you've narrowed down your list,reach on social media and ask about previous attendees' experiences.
4 It can help reduce stress and anxiety.You can look at pictures of past events to decide what to wear.Many long-running festivals will have Facebook Groups for attendees where you can ask questions and gather additional details.
Finally,when it's time for the event,have fun! It can be so easy to get caught up in schedules and planning.However,if you can take things as they come while you're there,you'll probably enjoy yourself more.I've found that something I expected to be the main draw of an event for me could turn out to be a disappointment. 5
