The United States once heard that braised pig's trotters awakened happy memories of childhood.

Journalists and freelance writers living in the United States have heard that they have moved to the United States for 14 years. She has lived in the United States for many years, but she has never spent the Lunar New Year in China. After having their own family and the next generation, they gradually reconciled with their mother. Every New Year, there is always a braised pig's trotters on the dining table, which means a lot to her.

Let's see, I was in America 14 years.

I am a child who is alienated from my family, especially my parents. When I was a child, I always felt that my parents didn't like me. My parents often beat me when I was a child. The hardest thing is not the physical pain, but that I am still struggling to find evidence that my parents love me.

But I have never found any evidence. So, as soon as I grew up, I saved some money and went to study in the United States. After graduation, I got a job in the local area, just trying to get as far away from that home as possible. Except for my grandmother's death, I have never been back to Taiwan Province Province and lost my household registration in Taiwan Province Province. Over the years, the memory of that family is so weak, only a few scars left by parents when they were children.

For a long time, I seldom thought of Taiwan Province Province, and even if I did, I didn't think there was anything to miss. For a long time, my boyfriend and I had a good time in America, turning a foreign land into a new hometown. We didn't celebrate the year of China, and we didn't feel the need to celebrate the year of China.

After getting married, I recalled my childhood.

It is strange that people don't care when they are young, but they begin to miss their childhood as soon as they get married and have children. Nine years ago, my boyfriend became my husband; Four years ago, we had our first child. We want to introduce the culture of our hometown to our children, so we started the Year of China again.

Like in our hometown, we also write Spring Festival couplets during the Spring Festival. On the red paper covered with gold, we wrote a few black brush characters and posted them on the gate. No matter who passes by, it can be seen that this family lives among immigrants from China. During the New Year in China, we also give out red envelopes. China people in the United States are used to getting a red envelope of two dollars (about NT$ 60 yuan), which is much more "shabby" than at home. Mainly because the biggest holiday in the United States, Christmas, has just passed, and children have got enough gifts, and red envelopes are just to make them happy.
