 Hi friends, tomorrow -- January 28 will be the Eve of Chinese New Year. The day after tomorrow -- January 29 is China's Spring Festival. It is similar to Christmas Eve in the West; it is the time that all the members of a family get together to eat dinner and wait for the clock to reach midnight. After the New Year's bell sounds, people set off firecrackers or fireworks and make telephone calls to pass on New Year's Greetings. Next day they start visiting their families, relatives, friends and colleagues... About China’s Spring Festival And Its Customs, I have written two articles for you. But in today's Daily Chinese I would like to show you how to make a Greeting in Chinese during China's Spring Festival.
