For international students in the Chinese mainland, celebrating the Chinese New Year is a unique and enriching experience. This year, Wambui Kiarie, a student from Kenya at Peking University, embraced the festive traditions alongside her university friends.
Immersing herself in the cultural festivities, Wambui participated in making traditional dishes like dumplings and Laba garlic in the school cafeteria. \"Making dumplings was fun and challenging,\" she shared. \"It felt great to be part of such an important cultural event.\"
Celebrating the festival with friends was a new experience for Wambui, bringing back warm memories of time spent with her family in Kenya. \"Being away from home during the holidays can be tough, but sharing these moments with friends made me feel connected,\" Wambui reflected. She hopes that everyone can enjoy the holidays surrounded by their loved ones.
