Hi, this is Celia, coming from Wuhan. It's exciting for me to begin my adventure in this amazing "online family"—a paradise for English lovers. I am a postgraduate student and major in English Linguistics. I focus my academic interest on translation, stylistcis and cognitive linguistics. Hope I can make more friends here.
Tomorrow is Lantern Festival, a time for the reunion of families and to play with lanterns. I remember when I was a little girl, I always played outside with a paper lantern in my hand. Candles were fixed inside the lanterns to light the road. Besides, plastic lanterns were also very popular among children, since they varied in shapes and sizes and most of them were multicolored. Now I think those experiences are a little bit funny and a little bit silly. I wonder how the nowadays children celebrate this festival.
On the other hand, Lantern Festival marks the end of the Chinese Lunar New Year. So, everyone, make full use of this precious day and don't forget to eat Yuan Xiao :)
