w88 casino News Network (provided by International College)International students from w88 casino in China feel the warmth of the Chinese Year.
1. Benoît Sentenac (France):
First of all, I wish all teachers and students a happy Spring Festival and all the best! I feel like spending Spring Festival in China is like spending Christmas in France. Although it is winter and the temperature is very low, the people are very warm and friendly. They looked happier than usual and more impatient, looking forward to that time of year when they would be reunited with all their families. The Spring Festival is also a festival filled with cultural traditions, activities and food. I really recommend foreigners to experience Chinese New Year at least once in their lives!
2. SER CHEE KANG (Malaysia):
Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is the most important traditional festival in China, symbolizing reunion, celebration and new beginnings. The Spring Festival usually starts on the 29th or 30th day of the twelfth lunar month (New Year's Eve) and ends on the 15th day of the first lunar month (Lantern Festival). This period is filled with rich traditional customs, such as posting Spring Festival couplets, hanging red lanterns, setting off firecrackers, and eating New Year's Eve dinner to ward off evil spirits, pray for blessings, and welcome the New Year. During the Chinese New Year, families gather together to spend the New Year's Eve dinner together. Dishes that symbolize wealth and auspiciousness are often served on the table, such as fish (meaning plenty every year) and dumplings (shaped like ingots). Elders distribute red envelopes to children, which means blessings for peace and health. The Spring Festival is also accompanied by activities such as paying New Year greetings, visiting relatives and friends, watching dragon and lion dances, and temple fairs, which add to the lively atmosphere of the festival. The Spring Festival is a wonderful time for families to spend time together, pass on culture and look forward to the future.
3. NONG THI HOANG NHI (Vietnam):
The Spring Festival is a festival that represents auspiciousness and happiness. In China, I saw the streets and alleys decorated with lanterns and bright red concentric knots and round lanterns hung on the street lamps. Before the holiday, our classmates from various countries gathered together like a family and received lovely red envelopes from the teacher. Back in Vietnam, we make rice dumplings during the Chinese New Year (different from China, in Vietnam, rice dumplings are square in shape), release golden carp, and worship the Kitchen God.
“The mountains and rivers are in different places, but the wind and moon are in the same sky.” Although the customs in the two countries are different, the beauty brought by the festival is the same. I wish you all a happy New Year and all the best in the Year of the Snake!
4. Mohammed Khalid (Sudan):
In my eyes, the Spring Festival is a grand and wonderful celebration. It is the most important traditional festival in China. The streets and alleys are decorated in red, with red lanterns and couplets symbolizing good luck and prosperity. People reunite with their families and prepare a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner. Dumplings seem to be an essential delicacy. Dumplings are shaped like ingots, which symbolize wealth. Children can receive red envelopes containing money, and their faces are filled with happiness. The lively lion and dragon dance performances are also very unique, and the performers' wonderful skills are amazing. This holiday is filled with prayers for a better life that crosses cultural boundaries and fascinates me.
5. Tang Chakriya (Cambodia):
My name is Chen Miaorong, from Cambodia. For me, the New Year is reunion, joy, inheritance, and the beginning of hope. In my family, the Spring Festival is still a festival that everyone looks forward to. Every Spring Festival, the elders at home start busy cleaning the house, which means getting rid of the old and welcoming the new, and sweeping away the fatigue and worries of the old year. Some families also have the custom of worshiping their ancestors. People express their longing for their deceased relatives through ancestor worship. On New Year's Eve, everyone will prepare a table of delicious food. The whole family will gather together to have a reunion dinner. Everyone had a happy smile on their face, and there was constant laughter. At that moment, the hardships of the past year turned into infinite longing for the future. The New Year began warmly with hope and beauty, surrounded by family love.
In the peaceful atmosphere of the traditional Spring Festival, the w88 casino carefully organized a series of unique cultural activities, allowing international students to immerse themselves in this feast full of traditional Chinese cultural charm. In the joy of pasting the word "福" and making dumplings, the students had close contact with and experienced the Chinese Spring Festival culture. In this New Year full of "blessing", the international students gained not only happy memories, but also a deep friendship with Chinese culture. On the one hand, the International College of the w88 casino is committed to providing high-quality educational resources and a good living environment for international students to help them better adapt to study and life in China; on the other hand, w88 casino also hopes to allow international students to immerse themselves in the charm of Chinese culture through a series of colorful national education experience activities and enhance their emotional identification with China. As the lanterns are gradually lit on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, these young people studying in foreign countries already understand that the Chinese New Year is not only a festival, but also an invitation to the world, inviting all people who love life to jointly write a new chapter of mutual learning among civilizations.
