Is the traditional Spring Festival disappearing? This question was a hot topic on domestic social networks during this year's Lunar New Year holiday, with many saying the Spring Festival is no longer what it used to be.
But to answer that question, we need to know what the Spring Festival is.
For most Chinese, the Spring Festival has always been an annual family reunion and a precious week-long break from their normal daily routines. And that is something that hasn't changed. Visiting parents during the New Year holiday is still the first choice for most people working or studying far from home.
