Young people are regaining control of the Spring Festival rhythm through “reverse New Year” and companion-style socializing.

花, I read a report saying that many young people are now choosing a “reverse New Year,” bringing their parents to the city where they work to celebrate.

I noticed that too. It’s quite refreshing. Parents can see their children’s living environment, and it also avoids those repetitive questions from relatives.

From a social perspective, this is actually about taking back the initiative of reunion, instead of just following the old routine.

And there are many Spring Festival activities in cities now—museums, lantern festivals, performances are all open. It’s more interesting than staying home scrolling on phones.

There’s also the idea of finding a “Spring Festival companion”—people who don’t go home celebrate together, stay up on New Year’s Eve, and help each other, reducing loneliness.

duìjué de觉得zhè zhǒng这种guān xì关系hěnqīngdàngāng gāng hǎo刚刚好gěibǐ cǐ彼此yā lì压力néngràngjié rì节日méinà me那么lěng qīng冷清

Yes, I think this kind of relationship is light but just right. It doesn’t put pressure on each other and keeps the holiday from feeling too empty.

The report also mentioned that young people take the initiative to help elders with small tasks, shifting attention away from awkward interrogations.

In the end, no matter how you celebrate, as long as family members are willing to understand each other, even if the form changes, the feeling of reunion remains.
