Scene: In front of a home door (贴春联)
Reporter:
Hello, everyone! I am the reporter from Group **. Now I am in front of a home.
In China, before the New Year, many people put up spring couplets on their doors.
Look! The family is putting up red couplets together. The red paper is written with black characters, expressing good wishes for the new year. Many people choose red couplets because red is the colour of happiness and good luck in China.
So, putting up couplets is not just about decoration. It is a way to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one with hope and joy!
Scene: In the kitchen (包饺子)
Reporter:
Hello, everyone! I am the reporter from Group **. Now I am in a warm kitchen.
In China, before the New Year, many families gather together to make dumplings.
Look! The family members are making dumplings together. Sometimes, they will hide a clean coin in one of the dumplings. It is a symbol of good luck, and whoever finds the coin in their bowl is believed to have good luck and happiness in the new year. The shape of a dumpling also looks like yuanbao, showing wealth and prosperity.
So, making dumplings is not just about preparing food.
It is a way to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one with hope, joy, and sweet surprises!
Scene: At a Changzhou railway Station(在常州站) 春运
Reporter:
Hello, everyone! I am the reporter from Group **. Now I am at a busy railway station.
In China, before the New Year, many people travel back to their hometowns. It is called "Chunyun".
Look! The station is full of people carrying suitcases and gifts. They are all hurrying home to reunite with their families for the New Year's Eve dinner. This journey home is a symbol of family reunion and deep love for one's homeland. No matter how far or hard the trip is, it cannot stop people's wish to go home and celebrate the New Year with their loved ones.
So, the Spring Festival travel rush is not just about transportation.
It is a way to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one with hope, joy, and the warmth of family reunion!
Scene: In a living room(压岁钱)
Reporter:
Hello, everyone! I am the reporter from Group **. Now I am in a family's warm living room during their New Year reunion.
In China, during the New Year, it is a tradition for the elders to give red packets with money to the young. It is called "giving lucky money" or "Yasuiqian".
Look! The grandparents are happily giving red envelopes to their grandchildren. The red envelope itself is a symbol of good luck and protection. It is believed that this money can keep bad things away from the children and bring health, safety, and good fortune to the children in the coming year.
So, giving lucky money is not just about giving money.
It is a way to pass on blessings and love.
Scene: In front of a house(放鞭炮)
Reporter:
Hello, everyone! I am the reporter from Group **. Now I am outside, in a neighborhood ready for the New Year.
In China, during the New Year, many families set off firecrackers to celebrate.
Look! The family is lighting up a long string of red firecrackers! The loud popping sounds and the red paper flying everywhere are believed to scare away bad things. This tradition can bring happiness and a strong festive atmosphere to everyone.
So, setting off firecrackers is not just about making noise.
It is a way to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one with hope, joy, and a bang of good fortune!
