The World Consumer(消费者)Rights Day is on March 15. It is a day to remind consumers of their legal right. The 3.15 Gala, a yearly show produced by China Central Television pays attention to the protection of consumers’ rights.

This year’s 3.15 gala exposed the inside story of the production of pickled(腌制的) cabbage.
Awful! The Hunan Chaqi Vegetable Limited Company produces plenty of pickled cabbage these years. But they have a terrible hygiene(卫生) problem.
A video showed workers, some wearing slippers, some without shoes, were stepping on the pickled cabbage. Others were smoking and one even threw the cigarette directly into the cabbage.

According to Chaqi’s website, its partners include KFC, Master Kong and many other well-known businesses, such as Uni-President(统一) and McDonald’s. KFC later said that Chaqi was not one of its suppliers(供应商) and insisted that the information from Chaqi’s was not true. However, Chaqi’s website was shut down right after the 3.15 Gala.

The Chinese dragon is a great animal which can bring good luck in Chinese culture. It is said that every year on the second day of the second lunar (阴历的) month, the dragon wakes up from its winter sleep and raises its head. Because of this, the day is called Longtaitou. It is about honoring (向……致敬) the Chinese dragon and wishing for good weather in spring. Old people believed that after Longtaitou, there would be more rain, which is very important to farming. So Longtaitou was the start of spring and farming. This year, it falls on March 4.
People have many ways to celebrate (庆祝) the Longtaitou Festival. The most popular one is to have a haircut. Many believe that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to your uncles—mainly your mother’s brothers. They have a haircut to get rid of bad luck and have a new start.
Among Chinese people’s festival traditions, there is always a place for food. During the Longraifou Festival, people eat food named after dragons. Noodles are called dragon’s beard (longxu). Dumplings are dragon’s ears (long’r). And spring rolls (春卷) are dragon’s scales (鳞片 ) (longlin).

One day, a smart old man came to the village. He told an old woman how to scare (把……吓跑) Nian away. That evening when Nian arrived at the village, he saw only the old woman’s house was bright. Nian got close to the house. Suddenly, he heard the noise of firecrackers (鞭炮). The monster felt afraid and jumped. And then he found the house was covered in red paper. This scared him even more and he ran out of the village quickly. When the other villagers returned, they saw that the old woman didn’t die!

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to hear that you are interested in traditional Chinese festivals. My favorite festival is the Mid-Auturmn Festival, which usually comes in September or October. On that day, our family members usually get together and have a nice meal. After that, I always admire the moon and share mooncakes with my family. I love this festival because I like eating mooncakes. They are in the shape of a full moon and carry people’s wishes to the family they love.
In short, the Mid-Auturmn Festival is a special day full of pleasure and happiness. I hope that my letter will help you know more about Chinese festivals.
Best wishes to you.
Yours,
Li Hua
