Difference in Spring Festival

  
Water dripping down the withered and wet hair along the cheek , the body and the feet , down to the sink. Let the water rinse my whole body, feel the flow of hot water wander around my body, up to down, to wash the filth away, I am totally refreshed and reborn as a baby in the conceived mom's womb. It's easy to drive the filth out of the body , but how to drive the filth out of soul. Definitely not by water, by wisdom probably, not sure of it,at least in the conceive of the resonance of the nature.   

Due to saving the bus tickets, to pile several things together in a time, to withdraw the currency and check the automated EI deposit in the bank, which is not yet, I am puzzled in wonder, flashing the idea in mind that Revenue of Canada probably detained it. I update the address information in order to get the T4 in time,unfortunately ,which is still late in expectation or unexpectedly delayed action behind the consciousness of mind due to my laziness.   

Chatting with the office lady about the difference of spring festival in Chinatown of Canada and in China, immerse the question for quite a while on the way home since I haven't had a clear thought on the issue which she blurted about . The basic instinct is the huge difference, but what the difference in deed is somehow not as clear as it is supposed to be. She inquired if I had watched the parade in Chinatown for the Spring Festival celebration. Last year, I had watched the parade, which is the most significant event to have a parade in western countries, such as, New year parade. I have got a contagion of the festival circumstance in a certain degree, but I am still a kind of isolation, since the Spring festival is not the formal and legal holiday in Canada, it is not day off at that day which greatly diminishes the pleasant occasion of the festival. In China, it is the most important holiday in a year as the Christmas in the west .   

The holiday in China lasts for a week, everyone is obviously involved in the Carnival, relatives and friends exchange the festival greetings and bring the presents around the family and friend circle. Friends gather together to dine out or participate in certain activities such as parties , KTV etc. People have the traditional national entrainment performance which is televised through the nation, have the Chinese dumplings and prodigious meal in the eve of the Spring festival, watch the fireworks and crackers during the period.   

The most important thing in the Spring festival is not only the thing to drive the evil away people as the heritage says, but the family reunion to cherish the sincere affection and benefit the harvest in a year of hard work.
