President Hu Jintao and other top Chinese leaders joined an evening party Sunday with representatives of intellectuals in Beijing to celebrate the annual Lantern Festival. Hu Jintao and eight other members of the Standing Committee of Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, including top legislator Wu Bangguo and Premier Wen Jiabao, attended the event featuring song and dance shows and rice dumplings, a traditional food for the festival. (It`s from Sina News)
Since I was young, on each Lantern Festival, every family members would come back to join the big family for eating rice dumplings together, because eating rice dumplings in Lantern Festival is symbol of reunion, it is very important for each Chinese families. There is a old saying in China, people always become extremely homesick when festivals come, especially Lantern Festival, which is symbol of reunion.
This time, when the festival came, I stayed lonely far away from my home town and without the rice dumplings what were made by my mom likes usual, so I got a feeling that was I really miss my family.
