RE: Chinese New Year has changed. 年变了样

in #cn7 years ago (edited)

Haha we listen to the same type of cny songs. But once a while need those long piao piao type also cos very lively. The yao li ones reminds me of first day cny at my grandparents home.
Speaking of customs, it is really very much up to us to practise and introduce them to the younger ones. Perhaps some good explanation will help. I’d like to stick to some of these customs otherwise once no one practise them cny will be just another public holiday. But strange thing is we tend to appreciate some things more when we get older :)

Sort:  

I have been thinking, those once-a-year relatives perhaps I won't know they are my relatives if I bump them on the street. Parents are the only linkage in between. One day when parents are old, the linkage will break.

Those must be really distant ones. Like yr father’s cousins. Yes sad the linkage will break. Tht’s why cny is best spent with family and friends instead of travelling. That’s the once a year chance to meet everyone!

On another note, i heard the customs in malaysia is actually better preserved compared to places like taiwan and even china. Do u know if it’s true?
