元宵节 or Lantern Festival, falls in the 15th day of Chinese New Year. It is an indication that the celebration of the new year should come to an end. In Singapore you can hardly notice any celebrations going on, but in China it is an important festival. On the night of Yuan Xiao Jie there is an exhibition of lanterns and fireworks, and people will eat 汤圆 to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family. This day is also China's Valentine's Day. Since my 亲爱的 is a Chinese, I have to honour this special day by dating her. I'm going for a business trip to Hongkong this week, and once my meeting ends this Friday, I'm going to fly to Beijing to stay with my 亲爱的 for four days. Meanwhile, my 亲爱的 is checking out where we should hang out next Monday, which is 元宵节。

Hi WK,
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am looking forward to meet her. I'm at Hong Kong airport now to catch the next flight to Beijing.
Best regards.
