This unusual winter

This winter is very special for China. Terrible snow disasters hit the southern China and cause huge damage to Chinese people. Parts of electrical power grid were destroyed so that railway system and other transport system counldn’t  work . What’s worse, Spring Festival is coming , most of Chinese people hurry to go back home to celebrate it with their families. Unfortunately, millions of them are stranded in the railway staions or on the way home . Most of them can’t reach home by this Chinese lunar new year. Some electrician died fixing the snow-damage power grid. Everything seems to be terrible in this special winter.

But from the disaster, we relearn the importance of Spring Festival, the Chinese lunar new year. It is no doubt that Spring Festival and it’s Eve mean a lot for us Chinese. During the festival, the whole family would get together to have dinner and hold some other significant activities. For many family, it may be the only chance for them to do these happy things together thoughout the whole year. But now, many Chinese have to celebrate it by themselves outside their hometown and for the poor passengers who are still stranded on the way home, the new year day just is another cold and terrible day. However, I think next year, they will treasure this festival much more than before.

Tomorrow is the lunar new year’s Eve. Fortunately, in our living area, sun have appeared finally and everything seems to turn well. I just hope that we will be happy in Spring Festival and don’t take the love from our relatives for granted any more. The 2008 Olympic Game will also be held next year and I really hope that sunshine will brighten our motherland forever.
