作品：《Chinese New Year around the world》

作者：金子涵（Elina）11歲 進才實驗小學五（8）班

Chinese New Year is a traditional festival. It is on lunar January first.

It is the most important festival for Chinese people, just like Christmas in the west. All the people living away from their hometowns go back. Railway stations are crowded with people going home. For some people, the Chinese New Year is the only holiday they have. In Beijing, there are some people called Red Caps, they help people load their luggage on the train.

In Harbin, people embrace sub-zero temperatures. During the winter months, some people go for winter swimming. Winter swimming is a sport for the brave people. You need to have some resilience. Every year people in Harbin use ice to make an ice city. Every year there are different themes. The ice castles are all made of ice. 12500 tons of ice are cut to build the ice city. In the evening, the lights in the ice bring the city to life. It looks flawless and high technical. People put the LEDs in the ice and use the water to make two ice blocks stick together.

Every New Year in China, thousands of motorcyclists go back home by motorcycles. They don’t take the plane, because they don’t have enough money.

During Chinese New Year, everyone celebrates with their families and have a delectable dinner together. But this year, because of the coronavirus, we didn’t have dinner together. Although we didn’t have dinner together, our hearts are still together.
