The first day of the Spring Festival holiday, also the final day before Lunar New Year's Eve—where are you reading this? Still on a hurried journey home, or already back in your native land? Regardless, hundreds of millions of us are participants and witnesses to what is termed "the largest periodic human migration on Earth." Leaving home behind, traveling thousands of miles, carries with it a silent vow to strive and make one's family proud. Returning home for the New Year is not merely about the pull of traditional customs; it is also because we know deeply that the warm embrace of family, imprinted with memories of growth, will steadfastly welcome every wanderer back from afar.
