It’s quite refreshing. Parents can see their children’s living environment, and it also avoids those repetitive questions from relatives.??: From a social perspective, this is actually about taking back the initiative of reunion, instead of just following the old routine.??: And there are many Spring Festival activities in cities now—museums, lantern festivals, performances are all open. It’s more interesting than staying home scrolling on phones.??: There’s also the idea of finding a “Spring Festival companion”—people who don’t go home celebrate together, stay up on New Year’s Eve, and help each other, reducing loneliness.??: Yes, I think this kind of relationship is light but just right. It doesn’t put pressure on each other and keeps the holiday from feeling too empty.??: The report also mentioned that young people take the initiative to help elders with small tasks, shifting attention away from awkward interrogations.??: In the end, no matter how you celebrate, as long as family members are willing to understand each other, even if the form changes, the feeling of reunion remains.
