Hi,I am Li Ming.I am from China.I love my country and I love our traditional festival — the Spring Festival. As we all know,the Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese and it's my favorite festival,too.Like Christmas in the West,all the people living away from home go back about half a month before the Spring Festival.Airports,railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees. The Spring Festival falls on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month.On the Eve of the Spring Festival,my family watch the Spring Gala together and eat dumplings in the evening;we set off firecrackers to ring out the old year and ring in the new one. My grandmother told me that Year is a monster so that people play firecrackers to drive it away.I also pay a New Year visit to my grandparents and they always give me some gift money.As a result,I like the Spring Festival very much. Nowadays,more and more people in China begin to celebrate foreign festivals.But I think we shouldn't forget our traditional festivals.They are the culture and custom of China.As a Chinese person,we should know them well and pass them on to the next generation in the future. 1
