💡 Cultural Insight: hui jia guo nian (returning home for Chinese New Year)

Spring Festival is the most important traditional holiday for Chinese people. No matter how far away they are or how busy they are with work, rushing back to one's hometown at year-end to share New Year's Eve dinner and reunite with family is a deeply rooted cultural mindset and emotional need (the primary driving force behind 'chunyun', the Spring Festival travel rush).
