What's the buzz

Spring Festival is a time for family reunion. People reunite with their families and friends during Spring Festival after a long time, sometimes an entire year. But the festival also sees some weird happenings such as elders setting up blind dates for unmarried young men and women, wage-earners losing a good part of their income in red envelopes (cash gifts) and train delays upsetting passengers' holiday plans. So, what were the Lunar New Year experiences of China Daily's mobile phone news readers? Below are some examples:

The most joyful thing about the Lunar New Year is that I get to hang out with my best friends whom I have known for a decade. Although we indulge in some expensive activities, the money spent is worth the excellent time we spend together and the beautiful memories that stayed with me. No matter where we have been during the past 10 years, we have provided each other with moral support. I feel lucky to have such great friends.
