Dear editor,
These days, a growing number of people overseas are celebrating Chinese Spring Festival, an important traditional festival that features hope, reunion and happiness. Various Chinese cultural activities, such as gala performances,film shows, temple fairs and other forms of celebrations, are held overseas There are several reasons accounting for this phenomenon.Activity 7 A model To start with, the spread of Chinese Spring Festival is partly due to the increasing overseas Chinese population. What's more, more and more countries have noticed or benefited from China’s growing economic and political influence, so they are also embracing our culture and traditions. Also, many overseas stores and recreational venues are taking the opportunity to profit from the celebration. Last but not least,the Chinese government and various institutions have made great efforts to help the festival go global.Activity 7 A model I think it's not only a good opportunity for foreigners to know about China, but a sign of China's growing influence on the world. I hope everyone can do his or her part to bring more Chinese traditions worldwide, and more people around the globe will embrace the diversity of culture.
