On Celebrating Western Festivals As our life is increasingly globalized, it is no wonder to see that Chinese celebrate both traditional festivals and some of the western ones. Despite the legitimate skepticism of celebrating foreign holidays, we should not discourage Chinese to do so. To begin with, Chinese, by observing western holidays, are looking for more reasons to do something special. For instance, people sending out "thank-you" SMS messages on Thanksgiving Day are trying to express their gratitude to those who have helped them. Those who present a bouquet of red roses to their girl friends on Valentine’s Day are seizing another chance to assert their love and commitment. We should not make a fuss and balloon these behaviors into conspiracy, claiming that western ideas are threatening Chinese ones. I am sure on Qixi Festival, or better known as the Chinese Valentine’s Day, lovers will be no less committed and romantic to their partners. If people are looking for more opportunities to be grateful, happy and loved, we certainly should not be the buzz killers. Furthermore, western festivals are another occasion to boost sales and promote consumption. As China is restructuring its economy, domestic consumption is yet to be spurred. In this context, western festivals are a good reason for people to spend. It is a common practice in China that on festivals, Chinese or Western, many department stores and shopping malls will go on sales campaigns, which attract the customer traffic and drive business. If western festivals are discouraged, the consumption industry will lose some of the catalysts to stimulate people to consume. While I extol the benefits of observing western festivals, I am not saying that we should do it without knowing the essence of the festivals. Each festival is a cultural and historical lesson for us to learn. That is why mass media should give full play to its function of informing the public. For example, on Halloween, mass media could briefly talk about its origin and development. Better still, the comparison between Halloween and Chinese ghost festival could be made in the Internet or newspapers. In this way, Chinese will become truly global citizens, who understand and respect the diversified cultures in the world. To conclude, we should not discourage Chinese to celebrate Western Festivals. Instead, we should allow people more chances to have a festive mood and to contribute to the domestic consumption. With the help of mass media, observing western festivals could be a step forward to a tolerant nation, which embraces cultural diversities.
