This is a tradition of Chinese.  And also that is the reason for lunar new year traffic jam around China.
 
On that day, children will try to get on their new dresses, parents or grand-parents will send gifts to their sons and daughters. On the New Year Eve the family will gather to make and eat water dumpling, The dared children will fire crackers that day.....
 
I had made my effort to go back to my hometown Zhangye, to meet my father ,mother ,and other families. But until now I had little chance to get two( I and my wife's) tickets to home. So I have to stay here with my mother-in-law.
