The Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year’s Day, which fell on February 5 this year, is the most important annual celebration for the Chinese. This is when millions of people return home from various parts of the country or abroad,where they work and live the rest of the year. The family reunion is the essence of the festival when cultures and traditions are preserved and bonds strengthened. The following stories are about what the festival means to ordinary people, who are the backbone of the nation and the driver of its amazing progress.
近年来，随着促排卵药物和辅助生殖技术的广泛应用以及生育年龄的延迟，多胎妊娠的发生率越来越高，同时，多胎之一葡萄胎的发生率也随着增高。有报道指出，葡萄胎发生率增高与辅助生育技术的广泛应用有关，具体机制上不完全清楚[3-5]。本研究中，有1例病例为IVF-ET受孕。临床可疑多胎之一葡萄胎表现时，应详细询问患者的受孕方式，警惕辅助生育技术后多胎之一葡萄胎的发生。
The group photos of Yang Liheng’s family in 2018 (upper),1988 (middle) and 1984
When the winter sun floods his room,Yang Liheng, 89, enjoys nothing more than sitting by the window and leafing through old photo albums.
Though he suffers from memory loss, these photo albums, a mix of family photos and some of his personal work, remind him of long forgotten memories and spark a genuine sense of joy and happiness once more.
没有找到工作的同学都来向李丽请教，李丽说是自己运气好，可这样的借口哪能打发得了同学们，最后李丽被缠得实在没有办法了，只好说出了自己的秘密：
For Yang, one of the long-expected activities during the Spring Festival is to take photos with family members. In the early morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year when the whole family reunites, he would ask his wife and daughter to help him dress up and wait in anticipation for the photo. The click of the camera shutter serves as a way of capturing treasured feelings and special family moments for Yang and his family.
离合词“A了个B”与网络词“A了(嘞)个B”同属概念重组的结果，形式上相同，两者都不能接宾语，但如果我们深究入语法功能、语体运用等方面，可发现它们之间的巨大差别。
Yang was among the first generation of photographers after northwest China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region was established in 1958. He worked for the department of publicity in Guyuan and recorded many significant moments along with the development of Xihaigu.
Serving as preservers of historical moments, family photos recorded many unforgettable memories of Yang’s family. Now the camera has been handed over to Yang’s son, Minwu, who follows in his father’s footsteps and is a photographer for Ningxia Daily,a local newspaper. “What my father taught me was not merely how to capture wonder-ful moments with a camera, but how to live a positive life and get along well with the family,” Yang Minwu said.
He has four brothers and one sister, and many of them have become grandparents. Four generations of Yang’s family live harmoniously under one roof with the hum of conversation and snatches of laughter ever present.
“My little grandson was crying when I pressed the shutter, and you can see his tears in that photo. It’s interesting and worth recording,” Yang told Beijing Review. Taking family photos then became a tradition for Yang’s family. Though now some of his grandchildren are working and living in other cities around China,they try their utmost to reunite with the family during the Spring Festival and prepare for the cherished moment.
After 30 years of documenting Xihaigu,the idea of taking family photos was triggered by the birth of his first grandchild.“I used to take pictures for everyone else,but seldom turned my camera at my family members,” Yang said. “My grandson gave me the inspiration to record the growth and development of my own family.”
Xihaigu comprises nine impoverished counties and districts, which fall under jurisdiction of Guyuan, Zhongwei and Wuzhong cities in south Ningxia. It is a largely mountainous region, thought of as one of China’s most impoverished, and designated the world’s least habitable area for human beings by the United Nations in the 1970s.
With his camera, Yang recorded the dramatic changes of Xihaigu over the past decades.“I had a miserable childhood but got a rare chance to be a photographer after the founding of the People’s Republic of China.” Yang told Beijing Review. “I want to capture, in the form of photographs, the local conditions and customs,the landscape as well as people’s indomitable spirit of fighting against the tough conditions here in my hometown.”
想想，这作业就不是留给小学一年级学生的，而是留给家长的。事实上，稍微“认真”的家长，都必须代学生完成。而这弊端就是，首先给刚刚步入小学的孩子们造成一种误导，在他们的思想意识里会认为作业原来是可以让家长来完成的，并不是非要他们自己独立完成的。同时，作业不以学生完成为主，多是家长代劳，这或许也会造成学生家庭作业乃至学校课堂作业拖拉、不完成作业的坏习惯。
Last year was an important year for Yang Liheng and Yang Minwu, as it marked the 60 anniversary of the establishment of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and many of their photos were displayed in an exhibition in the Museum of Contemporary Art Yinchuan in Yinchuan,capital city of Ningxia, to show the development of the region over the past six decades.
It was also an unforgettable year for the family. “One of my sisters-in-law was diagnosed with cancer, but she was very optimistic and proposed to arrange our own Spring Festival Gala,” Yang Minwu said. They celebrated a unique Spring Festival with family members and gave their well-prepared performances on the Lunar New Year’s Eve. “My niece gave birth to a lovely girl in February, so we have a new face to feature in the family photos now,” Yang Minwu said.“But sadly, my sister-in-law passed away in October, and the family photos taken in 2018 became the last ones with her.”
This year, the family decided not to take family photos during the Spring Festival.“One of my nieces is studying in Linköping University, Sweden, it is such a pity that she could not make it home. We are going to save the photo for when she returns,” Yang Minwu explained. “I will also become a grandfather in 2019, and I want to introduce my grandchild to the whole family in this special way. That is also what family photos mean to me—togetherness.” ■
