Answer

Dear Tom,

Glad to know that you’ve learned something about Chinese culture and customs. Now I’d like to tell you more that might interest you. Besides the Spring Festival, we also celebrate the Tomb-sweeping Day, which usually falls on 4th April, in memory of our ancestors. On lunar 15th August, we celebrate the Mid-autumn Day by getting together with our family no matter how far away we are, because family closeness is highly valued in our culture.

Nowadays, young people are enthusiastic about having fun celebrating western festivals. By celebrating some western festivals like Mother’s Day, we learn to show our respect and love for our mother, which is universally appreciated.

From my point of view, Chinese people are more and more open to the world, which accounts for the phenomenon that Chinese culture and foreign ones influence each other.

I hope the above can be of any help.

Yours,

Li Hua
