　　Today was the last day of 2007 the lunar year. I was wearing a Chinese traditional silk dress. It was red, with kind of sparkling cloth. 　
　　When I arrived at Gran’s, grandma and grandpa were preparing for the family dinner. Different flavors came out of the kitchen. There were red lanterns burning with a glow of fire around me. Red paper were decorated everywhere. TV was turned on; it was all noisy and cheerful. 　
　　Suddenly I found it yearning- I didn’t really want to say goodbye to my 2007, although it was not perfect. In the past year I smiled and cried, and got angry sometimes, even wanted to go mad… But there is no more 2007 in my life again, never ever. I felt that my life was like a play, and I was only a character in the flowery and dreamy play. Why do I think about this? At this happy moment? I turned around, found mum putting her arms around me, smiling. Dunno why, I had an actuation of crying. Tears were already standing behind my eyelids. I smiled, cus I couldn’t cry now, and asked myself to get the tears back. 　
　　Midnight was coming closer, and closer. Fire crackers began to scream out loud around us outside. I again found myself like a character in a play. And it was all a beautiful, glad dream. 　
　　I smiled. Dunno this is which time I smile tonight. I just smiled. I thought, strangely, if I couldn’t cry, I could still smile to solve the problem, however I didn’t know what the problem was either. 　
　　As midnight came to this big city, it was like the play was brought to a climax. Fantastic dreamy fireworks bloomed around me, like smiling faces. So many, somebody gasped. They burnt themselves all at once together as obeying a promise. In a second they decorated the night city like it was daytime. 　
　　The black sky was tear into pieces, and was lit by the fireworks. In a moment I gasped and wondered that I saw night ends, forever and ever. 　
　　And yes, I know, as the bell of New Year was rang, night ended. 　
　　All along, night ended here.　 　
　　I smiled, and for the first time of today, I smiled in deed, truly. Everything fell silent, only fireworks were still burning and singing up above there, so high….

　　On the first day of Chinese New Year, I got up and surprisingly found my cousins already here. They were laughing and chasing each other, naively and happily, without any complex idea. Dunno why suddenly I admired them so much. If becoming not naive any more, this was what I pay for growing up, I’d rather not to grow up, never. 　
　　I began to miss all those passed faults, mistakes, and enjoyable moments, on the first day of New Year. It was quite strange, wasn’t it? Spent the first day of a beginning year just missing the old things? I was kind of afraid, I would forget them some day, and could never remember them then. 　
　　I got my earphones in, and listened. It was one of my faves, Britney’s Everytime. 　
　　And everytime I try to fly 　
　　I fall without my wings 　
　　I feel so small 　
　　I guess I need you baby 　
　　And everytime I see you in my dreams 　
　　I see your face, it's haunting me 　
　　I guess I need you baby 　
　　And this song is my sorry 　
　　After all…. 　
　　After all, I grew up, and I had no time to be sorry for my ended childhood. Maybe I would never fall when I fly, even without my wings. But I’d rather taste the feeling of falling again, that pain. It told me I needed to try again. But now I couldn’t realize how I feel after falling to the ground. I had no chance. 　
　　Because of cousins’ visit, mum decided to take us for a meal. We had many mouth-watering dishes, and I felt much easier. Growing pains, mum once told me pain is a part of growing. Right, I think I should accept these all.

　　How was this Spring Festival? 　
　　This was the question I asked myself after I opened my sleepy eyes. 　
　　I thought about this for the whole day, and I think I’ve got the answer, 　
　　Not bad. 　
　　Just not bad? 　
　　Yeah, I think so. However it was a little bit sad this Spring Festival, I still learnt a lot these days. And the most thing that impressed me deeply was the thought, “Night Ends Here”. I think I will never forget this. I’ll carefully keep it in my mind, and treasure it, for ever.
