Since Chinese culture has a very long history, there is a very traditional way of celebrating the New Year. They also developed their own calendar system called the Lunar Calendar. The Chinese New Year appears very changeable from day to day every year, because it is based on this calendar. A long time ago, most of the people in China were farmers. Every day life followed the cycles of planting and harvest. The New Year s festival was held after the fall harvest and before the start of the spring planting season. The Lunar Calendar, based on the moon, begins in a month with a new moon. The Chinese New Year is the first day of the first month of the Chinese calendar, and it lasts for fifteen days until the full moon. Each year the holiday falls sometime between January 21 and February 19. This year, the Chinese New Year is going to be on February 16. Chinese people also developed twelve different animals to stand for each year. After twelve years, the cycle of animals begins again. The animals are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. A week before the New Year, every Chinese family starts to prepare for it.

...Chinese New Year: Why many will travel home for good Every Chinese New Year as people board trains, planes, buses, cars and mopeds to head home for the warmth of the family reunion, they arrive battered and beleaguered, each with their own tale of travelling woe. The 20-hour journeys with standing room only. The pickpockets. And just the sheer overwhelming numbers of people, thronging every platform, forming every queue. So when the whole country seemingly becomes one large crowd it might seem unlikely that China would be shocked by pictures of a large crowd. But then the Guangzhou Railway Station crowd was a particularly special one. The snarl-up began on Monday with bad weather further north causing the cancellation or delay to some services out of Guangzhou. As word spread of the increasingly large throng of waiting passengers, even more people began turning up extra early for their trains and the problem only intensified. 'Dumplings in a bowl' At the peak, 100,000 people were crammed shoulder to shoulder on the giant square in front of the station, spilling out into side roads. "We are like dumplings in a bowl," one man told me. He faced a three-hour wait to clear security and then, once finally aboard his train, an eight-hour journey home. "I am very tired," another young woman said "but when I think about my mother and father at home I feel warm and I want to be with them sooner." Despite the extraordinary scenes...

...Essay of” New Year’s day” The short story “New Year’s day” is written by a female writer Fay Weldon. In this story there is a man called Alan, and two girls who are called Clare and Amy. Clare is in a relationship with Alan, and Amy is Alan’s ex-girlfriend. This text gives us an example of how difficult it is to find the love. The message in this story is that could be difficult and hard to find the one and only, the person you have to live the rest of your life with, and the one you love and who loves you. When you see messages like this, there is a big probability of, that it is a girl that is the writer, because often write girls about love, and boys about war. Clare is a thirty-two years old woman, who is Alan’s girlfriend. On the surface Clare is a happy person, who lives the life with her boyfriend, but internally she is an unhappy person, who is unaware of what she wants out of her life. What is nagging on Clare is that Alan has an ex-girlfriend called Amy. Alan has retained some of Amy’s things in his house, for example her bathrobe. Amy is kind of a role model to Clare, or Clare looks up to Amy. You can see that Clare looks up to Amy in this quote “Clare put on a pink silk wrap Amy had left behind and went down to answer the door” (P.53 l. 1-2). A girl would normally not see any of her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend things. It’s normal to just be jealous on the ex-girlfriend, but Clare looks up to Amy, by wearing her things. As I said earlier Clare is an unaware person and...

...A toast to a new beginning Growing up in suburban Lahore, New Year’s eves used to be a quiet event. Yet excitement for the New Year was evident in the spirit of every child and adult. New Year’s Eve was the celebration of a new beginning. Something to be jubilant about. It was a time for a simple gesture of wishing health and wealth to all, and the best that life could give to all. Indeed, the New Year promised a bright future. Even today, the charm of the New Year’s Eve continues to thrill. Despite the face paced life, it offers a chance for friends and family to come together and celebrate a joyous occasion. It is a new hope harbored into an old fashioned cheer. It is here, as the clock approaches midnight that spirits are rekindled. However, standing united, facing a new beginning, my peers do stop for a moment and remember the past floating by. True, the year 2009 saw numerous challenges, many battles and much heartache. The economy painted a bleak picture. The woes of a common man mounted to new levels. Our land was in constant grip of terror. We lost many fellow countrymen as brave martyrs of terrorism. Indeed 2009 was a difficult year. It made the transition to 2010 a solemn attempt. But that’s the beauty of a New Year. A moment artificial yet so profound. It brings a new dawn. It is a chance to redeem oneself. It offers a brand new path to success. It is an opportunity to rise above and make a difference. A new year brings with it the making of new goals, settings...
