#22 Life as a Chinese in Europe: Christmas, New Year‘s, and Spring Festival 在欧中国人的生活：圣诞节、元旦节和春节 | Chinese Immersion for Intermediates

Christmas, New Year's Day and Chinese New Year - how do they intertwine for Chinese people living in Europe? As someone who straddles two cultures, the festive atmosphere of Christmas and New Year in Europe is both familiar and strange. While people here are reuniting with their families, Christmas and New Year's Day are just "another holiday" to me, and the most lively Chinese New Year in China is just an ordinary working day in Europe. I will share my observations, cultural comparisons and personal stories in this podcast. Experience these festive moments with me! 圣诞节、元旦和春节——对于生活在欧洲的中国人而言，它们是如何交织在一起的？ 作为一个跨越两种文化的人，欧洲圣诞节和新年的节日气氛既熟悉又陌生。 当这里的人在和家人团聚的时候，圣诞节和元旦节对我来说只是“另一个假期”，而在中国最为热闹的春节，在欧洲却只是一个平常的工作日。 我将在本期播客中分享我的观察、文化对比和个人故事。和我一起经历这些节日时刻吧！ ------------------------------------- In last week’s newsletter, I shared three simple Chinese books for native speakers that I believe intermediate learners can understand and find useful for language immersion.
