It's actually my second time to experience the Chinese New Year. Last time when the spring festival happened, it was the moment when I just got here. I was busy exploring my new home and going around then, without knowing what it was actually happening. But now I just have gone through everything and my Chinese friends have left to give me time to actually resonate with it .
It felt super exciting when I heard the fireworks noise, but more importantly, I could feel love and happiness in the air. The music, performances and gatherings of the festival, highlights enthusiasm and connections of pure love with the Chinese people. I loved experiencing the spring festival moments, and it really is a definition and desire for a new life.
