China News Service, Beijing, February 26 (Zhang Duo) As night falls, the lanterns are lit, and the atmosphere that belongs to the Lantern Festival is gradually rising, but because the new crown pneumonia epidemic has not stopped, the Taiwanese working and studying in Beijing cannot be the same as in previous years After returning to Taiwan to celebrate the festival, the Taiwan League Central Committee invited them to gather together on the evening of the 25th to spend the Lantern Festival together.
At the event site, a variety of lanterns were hung around the venue. Compatriots on both sides of the strait made lanterns, wrote wishes, cooked Lantern Festival, and guessed lantern riddles together. Accompanied by the heat from the pot, the atmosphere was warm.
Among the many lanterns, "Little Nezha" made by Taiqing Jiang Chengpu has attracted the most attention.
Jiang Chengpu said that he himself likes this lantern very much, which reminds him of the lines from the previous hit movie "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World"-I can't help it, people should control their own destiny, instead of always complaining .
In Jiang Chengpu's view, coming to the mainland to develop is the result of "holding oneself."
He said that the decision was very simple. He wanted to come here for development, so he bought a one-way ticket to fly here.
He thought he would only stay for one year, but in a blink of an eye he has stayed on the mainland for three years.
"So far I feel very good. From being alone to now I have met many friends from Taiwan and mainland China. Everyone is very friendly. I highly recommend friends from Taiwan to study and work here. Even simple play is worth it." He said.
Facing the future, Jiang Chengpu said that 2020 will be very difficult for everyone and hope that 2021 will get better and better.
In particular, I hope that the epidemic will improve and I can return to Taiwan to reunite with my family.
Chen Wencheng, a teacher of Peking University's Department of Physical Education and Research, who spent the holiday with his family in Beijing, said that he participated in various activities in Beijing during the Spring Festival this year and made him feel a different kind of New Year.
I hope that life in the coming year will be like the atmosphere of this venue, and it will be prosperous.
On the day of the event, Taiwan League Central Executive Vice Chairman Li Yuefeng, Taiwan League Central Vice Chairman Wu Guohua, and Taiwan League Central Secretary Pan Xinyang attended the event.
Li Yuefeng said in a speech that everyone just made lanterns and wrote down their wishes. Regardless of size, distance, they are all yearnings and expectations for a better future.
The Lantern Festival represents the beginning of a brand new spring. In this day full of hope and vitality, I sincerely wish everyone's dream come true.
