The Spring Festival Gala at the community centre will start this Sunday!
You may be as curious as the editor about what will be in this year’s temple fair?
Sometimes we can hear people saying the life abroad boring and feeling home sick. What we want to do is to let us – overseas Chinese and those who are interested in Chinese culture have a taste of the New Year celebration at home. Especially for those children born overseas, what does the new year celebration look like? The strongest “new year memory” for us may be the lively scenes with family members, maybe eating together, maybe watching TV together, maybe visiting the market or temple fair together. . . No good memory is possible without the company of loved ones.
The purpose of the Spring Festival Gala at the Cambridge Chinese Community Centre is to create an environment where families can get together, so that friends can also have the opportunity to celebrate the Spring Festival with their relatives and friends, and let children born overseas feel the atmosphere of traditional Chinese culture. I hope these efforts can leave some unforgettable moments in our memories.
