Time

for

a

Change?Dear

Editor,1Forthisyear'sSpringFestival

family

dinner,my

son

has

booked

a

table

at

the

bestrestaurantintown,but

I'm

abit

unhappy

about

it.For

me,itjust

won't

feel

likeSpringFestivalhaving

the

dinner

out.2

When

I

was

a

little

boy,the

dinner

on

the

eve

of

Spring

Festival

was

what

I

lookedforward

to

most.It

was

not

only

for

the

delicious

food

that

we

seldom

got

to

eat,bufor

the

opportunity

to

have

our

whole

family

gathered

together.I

would

run

aroundthe

house,listening

to

the

adults

chatting

about

their

year.I'd

get

under

my

mother'sfeet

in

the

kitchen,watching

her

make

dumplings.She'd

put

tokens

insome

dumplin

candies

for

a

sweet

life

andpeanuts

for

a

long

and

healthy

one.In

the

evening,all

ofwould

sit

around

the

table,enjoying

the

food

and

being

togetheragain.Wetoastedeach

other,we

laughed,andthe

simple,homemade

dishes

tasted

more

delicious

than

anythingcooked

by

a

top

chef.3

I

hope

my

children

and

their

children

will

still

value

ourmemories

of

preparing

the

dinner

together.To

me,theprocess

is

even

more

important

than

the
