寒假期間，我校在華國際學生以不同的方式體驗了中國春節。雖然他們遠離自己的家鄉，但是在中國過春節的體驗給他們帶來了滿滿的冬日溫暖。

有的國際學生前往中國朋友家里，與中國朋友的家人們共同歡度春節：一起掛新春飾物、包餃子、看春晚，品嘗當地特色的年夜飯，其樂融融，感受家一般的溫暖。有的國際學生則與朋友們一起參加當地以及學校的傳統民俗活動，感受中國春節的喜慶，享受歲月靜好的時光。

這次春節體驗對于國際學生來說是一次難忘的文化之旅。濃厚的年味給留學生們帶來了別樣的體驗，也留下了深刻的記憶，加深了他們對中國傳統文化的認知與理解。同時，這次春節體驗也增進了國際學生與當地人民的友誼和聯系，促進了中外文明互鑒，激勵他們更加努力地學習和探索中國傳統文化的魅力。

今年春節，我有幸在中國東北體驗了一次別樣的春節。與南方溫暖濕潤的春節不同，東北的春節充滿了冰雪和熱情。我們乘坐從哈爾濱到建三江的夜行列車，出發去慶祝中國新年，迎接龍年。朋友一家早早來到火車站迎接我們，其中最興奮的是他的弟弟，他六點就起床了，一直盼望著我們的到來。

寒冷的氣候中，家人團聚圍爐而坐，共享美食，親情濃濃。窗外雪花飄舞，營造出溫馨祥和的氛圍。熱鬧的廟會上，人潮涌動，煙火繚繞，展現出濃厚的民俗文化。半夜吃自家包的餃子真是一大亮點，家里人還特意為我準備了素餃子，讓我非常感動。另一個亮點是喝酒，東北人熱情好客，喜歡喝酒。在朋友家，我被他們熱情地“灌酒”，我盡力與他們一起喝酒，融入這個大家庭。

回憶起這些美好時光，心中充滿感激和溫暖。

澳大利亞籍學生克洛伊：

   There is an innate need within us all to gather together with our families when we have cause for celebration. As a student living in China, it can feel lonely without my family to celebrate with. I feel privileged to have been able to participate in the Spring Festival with my friends and their relatives, to feel as though I am part of their family. To see culture and customs passed down to newer generations. To make dumplings with the aunties, and give red envelopes to the children. To help hang lucky decorations, and to eat foods for an auspicious year. To watch the new year evening program with grandpa, and to light fireworks at the strike of midnight. While these activities may not be my own usual habits, I nonetheless have a heartwarming feeling of belonging and celebration.

   I have been residing in China for the past 6 years. Fortunately, this Chinese New Year brought a special occasion as one of my friends visited me from Chengdu to join in the New Year celebrations.

   During the festival season, we took the opportunity to explore various attractions. We marveled at the Futian light show, visited Shenzhen Talent Park, and ventured to Guangzhou to see my brother, who is studying at South China University of Technology. Our experiences included savoring the delectable Cantonese cuisine, admiring the iconic Canton Tower, and exploring the enchanting Guangzhou Zoo.

   We explored various exciting spots during our holiday break, and we also had a fantastic time visiting the Heaven Museum and Splendid China Village in Shenzhen. It was fascinating to see the intricate replicas of famous landmarks and have a fun-filled experience exploring them.

   Moreover, we actively participated in a celebration event in the Longhua district and engaged in various activities organized by SZU and Shenzhen Government. Together, we enjoyed a memorable trip to Judiaosha Beach with schoolmates and embarked on an adventurous visit to Wutong Mountain with friends.

  This year’s New Year celebration has been truly remarkable and distinct for me, offering a refreshing change from the past five years in China. The extensive travel, exposure to China’s beauty, immersion in its rich culture, and the forging of new friendships have made this experience exceptionally fulfilling. As I look ahead, I am eager to continue exploring and experiencing more in the coming year.

   Celebrating the Spring Festival in China in 2024 was an unforgettable experience. In the lively atmosphere, I felt the strong family emotions and cultural traditions. The streets were bustling with people, filled with joyous vibes, adorned with decorations, and echoing with the sounds of fireworks. Reuniting with family, we shared a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, with traditional delicacies that were truly mouthwatering. The exchange of red envelopes symbolized blessings and care, imparting a warm feeling to all. I also participated in traditional activities like pasting couplets and paying New Year visits, experiencing the profound heritage of Chinese culture. At this special moment, I deeply realized the importance of family and the charm of traditional culture, which gave me a deeper understanding and respect for the Chinese Spring Festival.
