Kids, most joyful group during Spring Festival in China

File photo taken in March, 1999 shows a kid wearing a flowery hat during the Spring Festival in a village of central China's Henan Province. Kids are probably the most joyful group during the Spring Festival as they have the chance to taste snacks and take part in festive activities. The most meaningful thing for them is that these moments will become one part of their tradition as they grow up. Spring Festival, or better known as Chinese Lunar New Year, is the most important festival for all Chinese, which has a history of more than 4,000 years. It is an occasion for home returning, New Year goods preparing, celebrating, and foremost, family reunion. (Xinhua/Wang Song)
