The red decorations of (FU)
Lunar New Year is the biggest holiday in China . During that time,we decorate the whole house , the most special is the front door with a big red word,FU that means happiness and most good wishes in there,it is made from red color paper, and written with black ink on it . FU makes me remember our culture,I still remembered when I was young, my parents bought many of (FU) and pasted them on the front door,side door and the wall in the living room, but they told me put them upside down because when you read it that make same sound ,that means happiness is coming , so I still follow the tradition every year in here. When Lunar New Year is nearby ,I remember that it is the time to deep clean all over the house and paste the (FU) and other decorations with the color red, to present good luck to our family. Although we lived here for more than thirty years, we still continue the culture of where we are from and tell our next generation to do so . It is important to me because the memories warm up my heart and connect to my family history.It will never be forgotten..
