important


As you can see,the thing important to me is showing in the photo. It’s chinese red envelope. You may ask me why it’s important. I know It’s very normal in China. My answer is not because of the money inside,but the meaning of it. It represents lucky and happy in China. I think some of you had heard of it. I received it mainly from my parents and relatives,sometime from goodfriends’ parents. Mostly People just give ren envelope during China New Year. And not all people can get it.people can only get it before they get married. They have to give red envelope to others after they get married. So I always said I don’t to get married when I was a small,then my parents laughed.My parents give me red envelope in China New Year,my birthday and the first day of school.They wish I’ll be lucky and happy all the time.I have never used the money in red envelope.Because they are lucky to me.I saved them to the bank.When I was a child,the most happy time to me is China New Year.I could visited most of my relatives with my family in a short period and got red envelope from them.But I don’t want to be a visitor any more.So does my brother.But I have to be as I’m a girl.It’s my duty.Anyway,I still exciting and I think I’m a rich girl when I got the red envelope.Although I know I’m not a real rich.The last red envelope I got from my parents,my aunts and uncles is the day before I came to America.They wish I would arrive America safety.I always think I’m bad luck,I need good luck,the red envelope is the origin of good luck to me.
