Positive Youth | The Beautiful Floating Notes of Xi University Children (5): Overseas Chinese celebrating the Spring Festival

When it comes to the Spring Festival, the Chinese people on the other side of the ocean are also trembling!

Everyone is running around, February 4th New Year's Eve, remember to go back to search for the Spring Festival Gala after class!

I decided long ago. The fathers and villagers will eat the New Year’s Eve dinner at 6 o’clock. As a good child who respects the family, I want to get up at 4 o’clock and open my eyes with shit to pick up the video and ask for red envelopes. I can let it go! Continue to sleep after receiving it.

As a result, I successfully slept past 9 o'clock and caught up with "Unforgettable Tonight".

Thank you brother for adding me to the dinner table of the New Year’s Eve dinner

My friends have asked me many questions

Xiaoming: You can’t celebrate the new year abroad?

Wiki: Of course! Can the Chinese not pass the Spring Festival?

Xiaoming: Has it been the same day?

Wiki: Of course it will be a week later! Do you think the same sunrise all over the world

Xiaoming: Why?

Wiki: Because I was busy on New Year’s Eve (Monday)! Class on Monday!

Xiaoming: The influence of Chinese New Year should be quite big, right, do Americans know?

Wiki: It seems, I don't know eh. Except for our Chinese compatriots, Congratulations on making a fortune, there seems to be nothing happening

...

Wiki: Wiki is not a vegetarian. New Year is celebrated wherever there are Chinese.

Then Wiki I dragged two American roommates to the event site of CSSA (Chinese Students and Scholars Association), had a New Year’s Eve dinner, watched a Spring Festival Gala, and was dragged by me to watch the Spring Festival Gala enthusiastically after returning home. When the show at Shaolin Temple came out, the eyes of the two roommates lighted up and sighed, there are so many people! Especially when the five-star red flag comes out, it will save you face!

roommate Ashely: Why do you always talk about pigs in the Spring Festival Gala?

Wiki: Because this is the year of the pig

Ashely: What? The year of the pig?

......

Regarding the zodiac, Chinese culture has a long history and a long story. Let me start with the Yellow Emperor.

Ashely: After a long time, I decided to do my homework

The Spring Festival Gala of 19 years was the most serious one I saw. Tencent Youku iQiyi has no geographical restrictions, and it can be played directly at 1080p!

has expectations and misses. I am eager to see what social phenomena this year’s sketches will reflect, see what acrobatics and dances will bring to surprise; see which shows can be used to show off to American friends...

is abroad, even if you know the country There are some shortcomings, but no one is allowed to slander and abuse the motherland; even if it is difficult to explain to them the profound and profound culture of China, I still want to try my best to tell them more about China that I am proud of. The more separated

is, the more it can test the cultural foundation and national sentiments of a country. No matter how far away, the wanderer always reads the East.

So how did I celebrate the Spring Festival this time?

The happy event came in four, I had four New Year's Eve dinners.

01

Teacher Mao Mao entertains

We are going to have a big banquet, dry hot pot

As a result, Teacher Mao has no pot!

is not convenient in China for the New Year in the United States. Everyone usually uses forks and knives. Americans also eat separately. One plate can hold all the dishes. Therefore, at critical moments, there is a lack of pots and plates and chopsticks.

We borrowed a pot from a friend, and then ran to major supermarkets. Asian supermarkets, Korean supermarkets, and Wal-Marts went to three places to get all the ingredients. They boiled the hot pot base that the teacher brought from China and simmered them in a pot.

02

Friday night, the school CSSA Spring Festival Gala party, I took two roommates to the party! There are so many people in

, there are many Chinese students, there are also many Americans, and there are Spanish speakers... The members of

CSSA have been preparing for this party for a long time, thank them. Counselor Chen Yinghui and Consul Liu Jiaming of the Chicago Consulate General also attended the meeting and offered their blessings.

and richDinner: Mapo tofu, scallion beef, bourbon chicken, tomato scrambled eggs...

and shows: bamboo flute, classical dance, guzheng, nunchaku, piano...Chinese students hold up the whole stage, people I am sorry for the country if I have little power and no talent!

03

Saturday night

Chinese church Chinese New Year special gathering

The brothers and sisters of the church made thousands of dumplings together, and foreign friends also joined in strange styles to learn dumplings.

After having a good meal, I moved to the second floor. I presented the drama debut. The drama is called "The Prodigal Son Turns Back", adapted from a Bible story.

partner friend Xi Zhang, I appeared in the image of a shining prodigal girl. I played for two minutes and spent all the money of the male protagonist. My life is simply a plug-in.

not only amused everyone, but also gained the friendship and touch during rehearsal and performance.

04

friend Anita is afraid that I will be the order, because the American roommate does not celebrate the Spring Festival, so I made a delicious invitation to have a New Year's Eve dinner.

We spent a long time at home on TV preparing to watch the Spring Festival Gala. As a result, because the Chinese channel was not shown on TV for a long time, all platforms needed to be updated, which was super troublesome. But with unremitting efforts, we watched the show happily. Philip played the guitar, we sang, and we laughed while changing the lyrics.

z The year of 82z is full of flavor and love. We lived very carefully.

Because of us, the foreign friends around know about the Chinese New Year, the zodiac, the "Fu", the lanterns, the dumplings, the cross talk...

has more than 5.08 million Chinese in the United States and is the largest ethnic group of Asians. The impact of such a large group can be imagined, and Chinese culture is slowly infiltrating the United States.

When I was traveling, I discovered that Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, and New York all have China Towns. Philadelphia and Washington’s China Town are in the city center. There are three China Towns in New York, and one of them is in Manhattan. !

Chinatown in every city is a must for us, because there are authentic Chinese food, Chinese, steamed buns, spicy sticks, white rabbits, and a sense of belonging.

I live hard here, want to live the way I want to live. Every Chinese in

is struggling for himself and for the strength of the motherland.

The sentence from the church: "Pray for China" reaches my heart.

No matter where you are

Happy New Year
