The Prevalence of Western Holidays

　　it is noticeable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while chinese traditional holidays are being somewhat neglected. old people often complain that chinese new year has lost its real meaning. to their astonishment, young people in china, ignorant about chinese traditional holidays, are crazy about christmas or valentines day.

　　there are several possible reasons for this phenomenon. first, western nations, such as the united states and britain, are powerful and dominant in every aspect. everything in these countries is assumed to be superior and adored by some modern young people. second, the prevalence of english as a world language and the development of globalization enable western culture to flood in china. overwhelmed by such a trend, chinese unconsciously get involved in western culture. last but not least, some chinese people have blind faith in foreign things while dismiss our own possessions with contempt.

　　i am critical of this trend. china boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. in modern times, chinese tradition should be preserved and promoted. but it seems that young people no longer treasure the tradition. on the contrary, they turn to pursue enthusiastically a supposedly more modern culture. if this trend is allowed to continue, the priceless heritage of our ancestors will be replaced by western traditions. nobody expects such a consequence. so lets join hand in hand to protect chinese tradition.
