Letter 7: The Irish Origins of Halloween💌💌💌💌💌

Listening to these interesting stories about Halloween is so satisfying. In East Asia, we did not emphasize that a lot. For me, the English textbooks and daily commodities shops are the only few accesses to knowing about this distinctive festival. Similar to westerners' acknowledgment of Chinese New Year and Moon Festival, we assume that Halloween is just an unimportant day in which the ghost would appear. In the modern time, treat or trick and giving cards to our friends are the best way or even cosplay. It seems that we do celebrate this holiday, but that is too informal and simple: we actually are celebrating a totally different day controlled by commerce. Businessmen always intend to make money, so if no one is in need, they will create the need. That is what they do likewise during other western holidays like Valentine's Day, Christmas…… very few Chinese would realize why we have to set up these holidays, though, they still enjoy it and do not think much. What I attempt to express is that more and more people are barely want to have some fun or keep up with the pace of trend, rather than commemorate something valuable. There is no denying that your article reminds this, and l hope those people can be awake someday.🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
