Do you still look forward to the New Year as you did when you were a child?

Chinese New Year means "Chinese New Year Festival", and now it is called "Spring Festival". The main contents of New Year greetings are to bid farewell to the old, worship ancestors, exorcise evil spirits and pray for a new year. The form is rich and colorful, lively and festive, and the annual flavor is rich, which embodies the essence of traditional culture of Chinese civilization. Although 2008 has passed every year, my personal feeling is that I am not looking forward to it as much as I was a child.

Let me talk about my feelings.

I. Economic pressure

Although I didn't have enough material resources when I was a child, I was still very happy because my parents had a fixed unit and bought themselves some new clothes every Spring Festival. The lively atmosphere also makes us feel very happy. Setting off firecrackers on New Year's Eve adds a lot of excitement. We eat and drink every day without any worries. We are immersed in a utopian life without any pressure.

But when I grow up and have my own job, I will face complex people every day. There are too many unstable factors, and children have grown up, facing the situation of old age and small age. Chinese New Year can no longer warm us to the carefree happiness of childhood. My biggest feeling now is that the economic pressure is too great to breathe. Although Chinese New Year is the most perfect time of the year, I feel I can't get rid of the reality at all.

Because of various economic pressures, I don't like Chinese New Year very much now.

Second, interpersonal pressure.

To put it mildly, we get together during the Spring Festival, but many relatives also come to see you with colored glasses. You get along well, people are jealous, you don't get along well, and people get together in all kinds of cold eyes. I'm afraid of the Spring Festival now. As soon as the Spring Festival arrives, my relatives and friends will ask me how much I earn in the company. Sometimes I want to say, it's personal. How much money I earn is none of your business. But think about it, they are all relatives and friends, which is not worth it.

This is different from when I was a child. I never thought about these relationships when I was a child. Quite simply, I didn't despise each other, and I didn't even hurt anyone.

Third, many people have left, so it is difficult to get together.

What I said is actually very realistic, because many relatives and friends around me have left this city, or some people have passed away. There are fewer and fewer people around, and it has become the status quo of many families now. When I was a child, I clearly remember that when relatives got together, there were nearly 20 people, because there were two tables, one for adults and the other for children. Now adults can't gather together a table. The joyful scene disappeared.

Fourth, the taste of the year is not strong.

I don't know why, in recent years, more and more people like me are not interested in Chinese New Year. We are indeed materialistic for many years and many times, because we enjoy delicious food and fresh clothes every day. So, that's why I didn't look forward to it as much as I did when I was a child. Because every day seems to be Chinese New Year.

Because of this, I don't look forward to the Spring Festival at all, because as time goes by, my parents are getting older and older, and their health is no longer as tough as before. Therefore, I was heartless when I was a child, and now I am afraid of the passage of time.

Generally speaking, when we were young, we were far away. Now that we are mature adults, everything we do will affect our whole body, and all kinds of pressures are pushing us forward invisibly. I feel little about the fun of the Spring Festival now. But I also hope that I can adjust my mentality, because 2008 is a time of reunion after all, so I'd better try to give myself more hope. I also hope everyone around me is happy.
