编者按：主题为“寒假”的澎湃第五届寒暑假征稿活动正式启动至今，我们收到了不少小画家、小作家们的作品。孩子们用文字、图像、视频，展示了他们眼中的寒假生活，接下来作品会陆续刊登。

今天刊登的是来自ValeyVast 英语俱乐部的Joy小朋友的投稿。她说春节期间，我们吃的饺子有着丰富的寓意，象征着一年的丰收。同时，人们也喜欢穿上红色的新衣服，寓意着新的一年红红火火。人们做的每一件事情都寄托着对新一年的期许。让我们起来读一读她的作文吧。

During Chinese New Year, people love eating dumplings. Dumplings is a kind of folk food with a sweat history. There is a folk that says there is nothing more delicious than yummy dumplings. Every spring festival, dumplings is an essential delicacy. As the custom in many parts of China, on New Year's Eve, there is no substitute for dumplings.
