I grew up in a small mountain village in central Anhui Province in east China,which was almost isolated from the rest of the world in times past.In my childhood,although the people in my hometown lived a rather primitive and hard life with no electricity,no tap water,no power vehicles,no motorway,and even no sufficient food supply,they still attached great importance to celebrating the Spring Festival,which is Chinese New Year or the Lunar New Year,the most important festival in China that celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional Iunar Chinese calendar.
