Meet Up

Gu Qingjiu sat on the bus as she admired the surrounding scenery.

On her way back, Gu Qingjiu could see the people residing in the mountains; the red lanterns hung high up, exuding a festive atmosphere.

Because it hadn't been too long since New Years', Gu Qingjiu could still make it for the Spring Lantern Festival.

They had spent the New Year in the army.

Because they couldn't return home, the army had arranged a celebration for the new year for the new recruits and regulars.

But perhaps because they weren't at home, Gu Qingjiu felt that the festive feeling in the army was lackluster.

Following the advancement in technology, some traditions for celebrations were no longer as religiously followed.

Even during New Year, the streets slowly became more vibrant.

For city people, they would rather spend the New Year at home.
