Incomplete Reunion Dinner

Despite the heavy snow and unforgiving weather, many chineses in China hope to go bak home to their love ones to part-take in the lunar new year eve reunion dinner.
It's a chinese custom/tradition for the family members to return home to have a meal together as a complete family, like thanks-giving dinner celebrated by most westerners.
Of course, there will be people who can't be bothered of these customs, while some can't go back home due to work or study commitments.
The pain of not having a meal with your family, and loved ones is tremendous.
The unspeakable sadness, the feeling of loneliness in a foreign land.

But all this will pass away cause you know that eventually your family will be waiting and looking forward for you to come bak.

The worse people are not those who dun bother abt reunion dinner. It's those who chooses to have the dinner with other relatives over you.
It wasn't a situation without choice that they can't return, they chose not to.
Such people is simply just saying that you are not part of "my" family, you're not that important.

Angry and sadden by that man's action. I'm not going to sink any further than those feelings, I'm not going to spoil the mood of this Festive season. I want to be happy, and face this with cheerfulness. I'll look up at the blue sky and smile.
