Question

The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China. Chinese people have been celebrating it for centuries. It comes in winter. We usually have a 15-day holiday, but in 2020, a disease called COVID-19（新型冠状病毒） hit China. We had a longer holiday than before.

As we all know, the Spring Festival is a time to get new. We usually clean and decorate（装饰）our house carefully before it comes. Before the new year, I helped my mother clean the rooms and wash our quilts. My father put up red couplets（春联）on the doors and red paper cutting on the windows. It’s said that red is a lucky color in China. In the new year, no matter how far it is, we come back to have a big dinner together with all the family members. However, we didn’t visit any relatives and friends because of the sudden illness. I just said “Happy new year,” to my parents. At night, I was glad to talk with my friends on Wechat（微信）. It’s exciting for me to get Wechat red packet（微信红包） from my grandparents. My mother likes buying all the products from the supermarket. During this new year, she had to order things on the Internet, so she received many packages（包裹）.

After the Lantern Festival, we couldn’t go to school. Instead we studied on computers or pads at home. Our teachers organized online teaching for us, and we were able to have classes through the new way of teaching. During the holiday, how I hoped that I could go to school earlier.

On April 7^th, 2020. I went back to school. As I started my new journey, I couldn’t forget this special spring festival.
