The Importance of Returning Home for the Spring Festival

The Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, is the most important holiday in China. For many people, it is a time to reunite with their families and celebrate the coming of the new year. Yu Jie, a 21-year-old hotel waitress from Shanghai, is one of millions who board trains early to return home before the festival. "It's hard to buy a train ticket," she said. The journey from Shanghai to Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province, and then on to Yueyang, a city in Hunan Province, is a long and anticipated one.

The Spring Festival is not just a time for celebration, but also for reflecting on the past year and looking forward to the future. It is a time for family and friends to gather and share stories, laughter, and traditional meals. For Yu Jie, the journey home is filled with excitement and hope. She looks forward to seeing her parents and enjoying the warmth and love of her home.

The Spring Festival is also a time for traditional customs and activities. Many families clean their homes, decorate with red lanterns and couplets, and prepare feasts to welcome the new year. Firecrackers are set off to scare away evil spirits and celebrate the arrival of the new year.

No matter how busy the traffic is during the Spring Festival, or how long the journey takes, the joy of returning home is unparalleled. It is a time to forget about work and worries, and to be with the ones you love the most. For Yu Jie and millions of others, returning home for the Spring Festival is a tradition that they cherish and look forward to every year.
