As years pass by, there may be some changes in my appearance too. My hair may turn grey, and my face might have wrinkles. 

But all in all, I think these 20 years must be an adventurous journey for me. I must have done so many exciting things by then. I think I am kind of a busy person and will live my life to the fullest.]]> 2023-07-04 10:45:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2637924155 cynthiazwong https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2637931999 I come from a small town in Shandong Province called Zibo, it recently becomes famous around the country because of its delicious barbecue.

I think my city would be filled with the warmth coming out of people's good hearts in 20 years. It is a small town, but the people there all have goodwill. 

Zibo is a traditional industrial city, so I hope it can be transformed into a city with more modern facilities in 20 years, making it look more dynamic.

But at the same time, I don't want my city to become more noisy. I wanted it to keep its rustic nature while being more contemporary. The customs of the small town still exist.]]> 2023-07-04 11:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2637931999 cynthiazwong https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2637935860 I think that in 20 years, there will be more young people in Zibo, making the city more vibrant. They will gradually adapt to the city's relatively leisurely lifestyle. Everyone can live out their own life happily, and at the same time, they can make the city more lively.]]> 2023-07-04 11:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2637935860 cynthiazwong https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2637939634 The living heritage I most want to bring to the future is the Spring Festival. For me, as a Chinese, the festival that can give me the most identity is the Spring Festival, which carries my cultural memory and cultural identity.
Also, for me, the Spring Festival is not just a simple change of seasons, it carries the unique joyful memories with my relatives, friends and family members over the years, which is very precious to me. It lets me know who I am and where I come from.]]> 2023-07-04 11:16:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2637939634 cynthiazwong https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2637942227 In the past, it was always the elders of the family who organized family gatherings during the Spring Festival. I think in the future, the tradition of organizing these parties will pass on to me. In accordance with our local Spring Festival customs, I will organize family gatherings one after another during the Spring Festival, and visit relatives and friends’ homes to connect with each other. At the same time, I will also participate in a lot of folk activities related to the Spring Festival, because these activities all place our good expectations and visions for life in our hearts.

I think in the future, sharing the Spring Festival with others and the world is not just my efforts. The Spring Festival has become a cultural symbol for us Chinese, and our new generation of Chinese young people will spread the Spring Festival culture in every corner of the world.]]> 2023-07-04 11:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2637942227 cynthiazwong https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2637946281 All Chinese people in the Chinese cultural circle are practitioners of the Spring Festival. But the object of my choice is my family. After communicating with my family members, they all said that in their time, the material conditions were extremely poor, and only during the Spring Festival could they eat good food and wear new clothes. Therefore, for their generation, the Spring Festival is a day when all hardships are rewarded. In the hard days all year round, the Spring Festival is their hope for a short-term improvement of living conditions.

Nowadays, people's material living standards have been greatly improved, so the Spring Festival has become more of a link between people. When people get together during the Spring Festival, they can meet some relatives and friends that they don’t usually see, and maintain the relationship in the past.

However, due to changes in modern people's lifestyles and life concepts, many traditional folk activities during the Spring Festival are gradually dying out. I think the Spring Festival is now more in a historical transition period.]]> 2023-07-04 11:30:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2637946281 cynthiazwong https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2637946909 2023-07-04 11:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2637946909 cynthiazwong https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2637947365 2023-07-04 11:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2637947365 cynthiazwong https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2637947700 2023-07-04 11:33:36 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2637947700 cynthiazwong https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2642523433 Today, Chinese New Year is still one of the important festivals that can bring identity to people in the Chinese cultural circle. In China, due to the quarantine policy of the Covid19, during the Spring Festival， people have spent the last three years at home and the traditional "family reunion" atmosphere seems to have returned. However, due to the changes in the modern lifestyle and the concepts of life of young people, the family concepts of the past seem to have faded. When visiting friends and relatives, people no longer seem to recognize relatives who are further away by blood, and the extended family gradually splits into small families. The younger generation seems to prefer to get together with friends during the Chinese New Year nowadays. However, I don't think the change in customs will affect the passing on of the Spring Festival among the people.]]> 2023-07-11 07:00:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiazwong/china_cynthia/wish/2642523433
