It's Chinese New Year

We call it Chinese Spring Festival, because it symbolizes the end of winter and the beginning of spring.

People will temporarily put aside their work to return home and reunite with their families. Maybe foreigners will say that most Chinese people have no faith or something like that. We are believers in ourselves and our families, and we will work hard to live a better life. Believing in ourselves and believing in our families is also a kind of faith.

I know very little about foreigners, and relatively speaking, foreigners know even less about the Chinese. I am very willing to communicate with people of different cultures.

Do you have to leave your family when you become adults? Or can you always stay with your parents? What is the relationship between your parents and you? In the Chinese tradition, families will always be together. This has advantages and very bad disadvantages. Parents are always trying to organize their children's lives, from work to marriage. New Year doesn't make me happy because Chinese relatives love to rush you to get married during the reunion. I'm 30 years old and I still don't see any hope of getting married. This is a minority situation for China, although such people are still on the rise. We value our children's education and family environment so much that we would not get married if we could not provide a better physical environment. A house is very important and the first step to marriage is to buy a house, but that is too expensive. I don't know how foreigners feel about houses, and renting for life seems to be quite common. But in China, the house is very important. We usually stay in one place, for our whole life, in the same house. The Chinese love stability more than wandering around. 

How do you spend your lives? How is your relationship with your parents?

I would be very happy to hear responses from people of different cultures.
