12th February(which is 15th in chinese calendar), Chinese New Year ends. All of the family members will gather once more to have a nice dinner. After this, everyone will go back to their daily works. Some will fly far far away to earn a living. So this night is very important.
Apart from this gathering, another event will be held during this lovely night. According to tradition, this day is also the chinese's Valentine's Day. In history, boys n girls who wish to find their life partners, they should go to the river. Girls will be on the bridge with oranges, boys will be in their row boats on the river. And when the time is right, the girls will toss the oranges into the river and the boys will try to catch them. so whoever catches the girls' oranges, they will have a try out to see if they were good together for each other. Well that's about the final day of Chinese New Year. Although there's not much of us do that anymore, but that doens't mean there's no one will do that. Just keep your eyes on those rivers or beaches, you may find some oranges there.
That's all for this morning. Have a nice day.
