　　We call the Chinese New Year the Spring Festival. There is a name for each Chinese year. We call it the year of the sheep, the year of the monkey, the year of the dragon or the year of the pig. And this year is the snake. I express my best wishes for all Chinese including all Harbiners a wonderful, healthy and happy Year of the snake.

　　Before the Chinese New Year's Day, people are busy shopping and cleaning their houses. Their yards and houses are very clean on New Year's Eve． Families make dumplings on that day. Everyone in China likes to eat dumplings. This is our Chinese tradition to have a reunion dinner on Chinese New Year' s Eve.
