The annual Spring Festival is here. I believe that except for ignorant teenagers, most people are like me. They have so much to say about 2020 that they don’t know where to start.

I have always hated "forcing myself to express sorrow in order to compose new words", but after experiencing 2020, I can better understand the depth and breadth of "It's a cool day, it's a good autumn".

Thank you 2020 for giving us such a long period of silence and blank space.

Thanks to 2020 for giving us a copy of "Eighteen Years of Legendary Waves" that we have worked together with.

Thanks to 2020, with your support and companionship, I have more courage and determination to move forward.

In any case, the lunar calendar year 2020 is about to pass, just like every Jiazi year.

In a few hours, 2021 will arrive as scheduled with the blessings and hopes of all the Chinese world.

The Spring Festival is the highest sense of ritual in the Chinese world. With the Spring Festival, you will never lose the direction of home.

Lu Xun wrote in his novel "Blessing":

“After all, the end of the lunar calendar is most like the end of the year. Needless to say, villages and towns also show the atmosphere of the approaching New Year in the sky.

From time to time, there were flashes of light among the heavy gray-white evening clouds, followed by a dull sound, which was the firecrackers set off for the stove; the ones set off nearby were even more intense, and the deafening sound had not yet subsided, and the air was already filled with faint gunpowder.

fragrant……

Kill chickens and geese, buy pork, and wash it carefully. The women's arms are red in the water, and some even have twisted silver bracelets. After cooking, some chopsticks are inserted here and there on such things.

, but it becomes a 'blessing gift'. It is displayed at the fifth watch, and incense and candles are lit, and the gods and blessings are invited to enjoy it..."

For as long as we can remember, these scenes have become so grand that we have become accustomed to them...

From the words of a child, to the word "Fu" on the wall, from having more than enough every year to the sound of auspiciousness.

Anything that is cold will become warm at this time.

There are too many scruples, too many blessings, and too many conventions in this sense of ritual.

This is not superstition or pretentiousness, it is the warmth and expression in everyone's heart, and it is the unique spiritual civilization of the Chinese world.

In the coming year of 2021, I hope that together, we can say to all our friends through the small screen at this moment: "Happy New Year!"
Chapter completed!
