Here the reunion dinner usually has more than ten meals including bean curd and fish, because the pronunciation of these two meals means "wealthy" in Chinese language.

For the first day of Spring festival,my mom always reminds me of a vegetarian dish called Jai.She says that it is good for the coming whole year if we have Jai for the first day.

We, in Henan Province, have dumplings and noodles as our main food. The dumplings are similar to the old Chinese money, Yuan Bao, and the noodles are considered as strings which pull the money from running away. The whole main food indicates a good fortune in the coming year.

No, I'm not from Henan Province. In fact, most people from northern China prefer noodles and dumplings.

Hello Lionpower,

No,I think that my mother still considers me as a little kid of hers,even though I am not any more.When I become a mother of someone,I will then understand her feelings.

Yes, every mother feels like that.
