The black velvet night covered the blue sky, the stars blinked in the moonlight, and they seemed to be taking a break from urging those who had been tired for a day, but they were disappointed. Because of the more colorful lights on the ground, look! No matter the street, the fork in the road, in front of the store, next to the stalls, are lit countless lights. There are fiery red lanterns; there are colorful small bulbs; Yingying shiny fluorescent lamp, there are always changing color neon lights. The square at this time became the world of lights, the sea of lights. People here enjoy talking, playing, seems to be under, you will forget the days fatigue.

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.
