However, some people may be trapped in a situation where they put the cart before

the horse. Disappointedly, what some people do on festivals is not to communicate

with their relatives and friends but to hold their cell phones and fix their eyes

on the screen all day long, just in order to grab red envelops. For my part, what

really matters is the relationship instead of the money. Essentially speaking,

gifting red envelopes is beyond reproach. Only in a rational way shall we not be

reduced to slaves of materialism or hijacked by the high technology.

Festivals offer precious opportunities for us to send good wishes to our beloved

ones and what we should do is to cherish these chances rather than to ignore the

essential connotation of the festivals. Anyhow, kinship, friendship and other

relationships are above anything and we ought to make every endeavor lest the

profound cultural atmosphere of traditional festivals should decline.
