[quote=JANE01,418992]Spring Festival is the most important festival to Chinese people. Family members come back home, have big feasts on the New Year’s Eve and pay new year’s visit to their relatives etc. A very happy occasion, right? Some young couples, especially those born since the 1980s, feel unhappy as the Spring Festival approaches since they have to decide where to spend the Spring Festival Holidays. According to Chinese old tradition, the wife should come back to their parents-in-law’s home and celebrate the festival with them. But things have changed over the years. Most of those born since the 1980s are the only-child in their family. After getting married, only their parents are at home. The husbands and the wives both want to spend the festival with their own parents. Then they quarrel over this issue and some couples even divorce because of this. Some suggestions are made as follows: Going back to both parents’ homes. The couple can visit two places just in one-week holiday if time and money permit. But it is almost impossible for those whose homes are far away from each other. Going back to their own home separately. It is fair but this may affect your relationship. Going back home in turns. Visit your home this year and your parents-in-law’s home next year. Better agree on this before marriage. Inviting the parents to your own home. Where do you spend your Spring Festival this year?
