Why do the Chinese people attach so much importance to reunion during the Spring Festival
The concept of family has a great influence on the Chinese people, and three generations living under the same roof is good proof of a thriving family. Even if family members live apart, they must get back home at the Spring Festival and bring new year greetings to the family elders. They tell the family about their experiences and achievements while away from home, feeling content that they can bring glory to the family.
Individually speaking, it’s a chance for them to spend time together and enjoy each other’s company, especially for those who are away from home and cannot see their family members. They want to make up for the time they have lost and express their deep love to each other.
Family reunions are also good occasions when children learn about their cultural traditions, who will pass them down to their own children after they grow up. Traditionally, there are ceremonies of offering sacrifices to ancestors and people exchange new year greetings with their relatives and friends. Brought up in this harmonious atmosphere, children will naturally follow this tradition.

Dear Jack,
How is everything going Learning that you will stay in China during our Spring Festival, I’m sincerely inviting you to join in our family reunion activities.
The Spring Festival is a precious occasion when we Chinese can reunite with our family members, spend time together and enjoy each other’s company. In celebration of this festival, a carefully-prepared reunion dinner is what we will never miss. After dinner, we will gather around to watch the Spring Festival Gala, eating snacks, chatting with each other and making dumplings. By the way, my grandparents are experts in making dumplings and they must be willing to show you how to make them. Would you like to come around to have a try I have every ground to guarantee that you will have a good time.
Looking forward to your prompt reply.
Yours,
