Last week, City Daily did a survey about "How do Chinese people celebrate the Spring Festival" and "How do Americans celebrate Christmas?" About 500 Chinese people and 300 Americans took part in the online survey. Here are the results.
Such a survey can be naturally connected with the importance of Spring Festival for Chinese people, but what results in these differences? To my understanding, at least two reasons can explain this result For one thing, Chinese people have a strong sense of family, which enables many individuals to celebrate Spring Festival together with family members or relatives. For another, compared with before, some people are richer, and they have more freedom during the vacation. So, many people choose to celebrate this holiday by traveling. As for Americans, they prefer travelling. In fact, Americans like traveling on vacations, not only Christmas. Americans like exercising. There are no parks with fitness equipment(健身器材) in the US. So, they pay money to go to the gym.
