_______________________________________________________
T: Nowadays, some people pay more attention to the Valentine’s Day than Qiqiaojie, which was once one of the most popular festivals in ancient China. Anyway, each festival in China has its own tale and meaning. So we should hold on to our own festivals and culture, as well as pass them on from generation to generation. We should never allow some western festivals to take the place of Chinese traditional festivals.
Writing

What should he do What would happen to the two lovers Please write a different ending to the story of Li Fang, beginning with: As he sadly passed the tea shop on the corner on his way…
