Do you think celebrating it in rural areas is the same as before?小潘: I read in books that celebrating the New Year in rural areas used to be very lively, but now it seems the festive atmosphere has faded.刘娜: Yes. In the past, people really looked forward to the New Year. Now that life is better, new clothes and special foods are available even on ordinary days.小潘: I also heard that New Year visits have changed. Some people just give gifts without chatting.刘娜: That’s right. In the past, New Year visits focused on emotions and relationships. Now sometimes it feels like just going through the motions, which is a bit regrettable.小潘: And some young people don’t necessarily return to the countryside; they celebrate in the cities instead, right?刘娜: Exactly. But no matter where they are, the core of the Spring Festival is still family reunion.小潘: I understand now. The form may change, but the feelings should remain—that’s the true meaning of the Spring Festival.
