Chinese New Year held a special meaning this year for many Chinese people, not because it is the Year of the Dragon, but because they could be reunited with their relatives on the mainland after nearly forty years of separation.
今年過年對許多中國人別具意義，不是因為龍年，而是睽違了四十年的親人得以圍爐團聚。去年十一月中華民國政府開放台灣居民赴大陸探親，一波波人潮湧向大陸，帶回去的不只是親情。
