The Chinese dragon is a great animal which can bring good luck in Chinese culture.

It is about honoring (向……致敬) the Chinese dragon and wishing for good weather in spring. Old people believed that after Longtaitou, there would be more rain, which is very important to farming. So Longtaitou was the start of spring and farming. This year, it falls on March 4.

People have many ways to celebrate (庆祝) the Longtaitou Festival. The most popular one is to have a haircut. Many believe that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to your uncles—mainly your mother’s brothers. They have a haircut to get rid of bad luck and have a new start.

Among Chinese people’s festival traditions, there is always a place for food. During the Longraifou Festival, people eat food named after dragons. Noodles are called dragon’s beard (longxu). Dumplings are dragon’s ears (long’r). And spring rolls (春卷) are dragon’s scales (鳞片 ) (longlin).

“Well, we could use some hot-dogs.” I was at the local charity (慈善) food bank. They had a second-hand store where I would sometimes pick up something for my sons.

As I was paying for them, I thought of my childhood. I could see my mom boiling two hot-dogs in a pot. Next she put each one on a slice of white bread with a piece of cheese. It didn’t cost much but to me it was a big meal, cooked with love, eaten with joy.

That memory warmed my heart as I dropped off the hot-dogs at the food bank. It felt good knowing that some other little boy or girl would soon have a happy lunch. I left there with a smile on my face. As I walked to my car, I could feel my mom smiling down on me from heaven (天堂).
