I am a Chinese girl. I was born in China and have been living in Shenzhen since then. In my eyes, China is so beautiful. If you ask me what are my most favorite things in China, I have to say, Chinese festivals and lovely music. They are so amazing. China has many nice festivals around the whole year. The Spring Festival, the Tomb-sweeping Day, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day holiday. I like the Spring Festival the best, during which I go to my family’s home to visit. I play with my cousins and children receive lucky money. We write New Year wishes in couplets, and on the first day of the Spring Festival, we put the couplets on the door. We will have a big dinner on the Chinese New Year’s Eve. We eat fish, noodles and dumplings at the dinner. After the dinner, we watch the Spring Festival Gala together. The Spring Festival Gala is the most fun show to watch in China. Chinese music is so amazing. It has a long history. The sound is just so beautiful. If you are sad, you can listen to it, and it will make you feel peaceful inside. If you are happy, you can listen to it, it will make you feel more joyful. I like the guzheng, hulusi, changdi, guqin and pipa. They are the most magical instruments in the world. As a young Chinese girl, China in my eyes is so colorful! I love my homeland China! |
