The Lantern Festival and the Valentine’s Day coincide on February, 14th, 20xx, which makes people discuss heatedly which festival to celebrate that day. It is not wrong for us to adopt some western festivals, however, it is more important for us to learn how to celebrate our Chinese festivals.
In my perspective, as a Chinese, it is a custom as well as a responsibility for us to celebrate the Chinese traditional festivals. On the one hand, all the traditional festivals date back to hundreds of years ago, which is a symbol of our culture and civilization. Not only should we celebrate the Chinese festivals for fun, but also we should have a better knowledge of their background and origins. Therefore, various activities should be organized to add to the atmosphere of the festivals. On the other hand, all of the Chinese people should take the responsibility to pass our culture down from one generation to another, so that our future generations can also learn what to do in those traditional festivals, just as we do today.
To sum up, Chinese tradition should be preserved and promoted. Nobody expects such a consequence that our priceless heritage of our ancestors is replaced by western traditions. So let’s join hands to keep Chinese tradition.
