○越來越多的俄羅斯人樂于嘗試中國傳統(tǒng)春節(jié)年俗,融入中國節(jié)慶文化氛圍。圖/視覺中國More and more Russians like to experience Chinese traditional customs of Spring Festival and integrate into the cultural atmosphere of Chinese festivals.
春節(jié),對于我們在海外工作的華人華僑來說,都是一個很特殊的日子。由于春節(jié)國外不放假,或因工作等特殊原因,并非每個春節(jié)都可以回國與家人團聚,真正體會到了“每逢佳節(jié)倍思親”,在節(jié)日的喜悅中夾雜著一絲遺憾和牽掛。
春節(jié)是團圓的節(jié)日,即便無法與家人團聚,我們也要與同在國外生活的朋友們聚一聚,一起到中國飯店團聚,既應景又可以品嘗到家鄉(xiāng)飯菜的味道,一舉兩得。
說起中國飯店,我們一般選擇最有中國特色的位于在圣彼得堡俄中商務園里的“秦始皇”大飯店。4000平方米的占地面積,還有演出用的大舞臺,每逢節(jié)日這里都熱鬧非凡,中國人和深愛中國文化的俄羅斯人一起聚在這里,舉杯暢飲!
最不可或缺的,當然要數(shù)新年大餐——“春節(jié)晚會”,雖然俄羅斯親友團們不能全部聽懂,不過畢竟是中國春節(jié),他們也融入歡樂的慶祝氛圍中,其樂融融。新年鐘聲敲響后,由于有時差,俄羅斯這邊還是晚上7點,所以每年的新年問候都好像是隔著時空的祝福。最讓我們?nèi)杠S的,是俄羅斯專業(yè)民族音樂歌舞團隊的表演助興,將我們的新年狂歡推向高潮!
每逢春節(jié),有時還有到國外演出的華人表演團隊,也能看到聽到當?shù)厝A人留學生們自己組織的卡拉OK大賽,別有一番情調(diào)!這里已經(jīng)不能用“熱鬧”來形容,這里流露和展現(xiàn)的,是我們每個身居海外的華人華僑內(nèi)心深處對家鄉(xiāng)深深的思念,對祖國的滿腔自豪和祝愿,這種沒有國界的同慶,每個春節(jié)的“今宵”都令我們無比難忘!
當然,能夠回國與家人共度春節(jié),是最溫暖的時刻,尤其是家人一起包水餃,我們家的“混血小仙女”最喜歡的就是包水餃。吃著水餃,看著春晚,是我也是我的孩子關于春節(jié)最深的記憶。
正月初一,我們會帶孩子去逛逛趵突泉新春花燈會,數(shù)千盞各式花燈、看白雪樓戲曲演出、猜燈謎、看藝術表演;也會去芙蓉街游玩,在大明湖走走……總之,春節(jié)將濟南這座老城裝扮得更加迷人,我的俄羅斯籍妻子非常喜歡山東,究其原因,與這種深厚的地域文化的吸引是分不開的,我的孩子也越來越喜歡中國傳統(tǒng)的“年”文化。
不論是在俄羅斯過春節(jié),還是回到故鄉(xiāng)過團圓年,歷久而彌深的,是我們骨子里流淌的,對中國傳統(tǒng)文化的根深蒂固的熱愛。

○用歡樂的表演迎接新年的到來。Usher in the coming of the New Year with a joyful performance.
○除夕夜帶家人享用中餐,是宋銳過春節(jié)的慣例。Enjoying a Chinese meal with family members on the eve of the Spring Festival is Song Rui's custom to celebrate the Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival is a very particular day for overseas Chinese working abroad like us. Due to work or other special reasons, we cannot return home for a family reunion during every Spring Festival. Thus, we truly understand the feeling of “missing my family all the more on every festival day”.
The Spring Festival is a festival for reunion. Even if we are unable to have a family reunion, we will get together with some friends living abroad. We may meet at a Chinese restaurant, where we can not only feel the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, but also taste hometown dishes.
Speaking of Chinese restaurants,we generally choose the one with the richest Chinese characteristics, “Qin Shi Huang” Restaurant at Russia-China Business Park, St. Petersburg.The restaurant covers an area of 4,000 square meters, and has a big stage for performances. It is bustling on each festival. The Chinese people and Russians who like the Chinese culture may get together and enjoy drinking here.
No matter whether celebrating the Spring Festival in Russia or in our hometown, our deep-rooted passion for the traditional Chinese culture remains unshakable and becomes even deeper as time goes by.
