In the heart of every Chinese person, the most important holiday is undoubtedly the New Year.
At the end of each year, people from far and wide yearn to return home for a reunion dinner.
The magnificent scenes of the Spring Festival travel rush on TV at each year's end remain vivid in memory.
From the anxious expressions waiting for a ride, one can see the eager heart longing to return home.
When Yang Fan was a child, he envied those who worked away from home, who returned with big bags full of things the day before the New Year.
Most of the time, the children whose parents returned home were guaranteed to wear brand new clothes the next day, holding enviable toys or snacks, surrounded by a group of young admirers.
Among the envious kids each year, there was always Yang Fan.
Even though he envied them, he couldn't express it, as at home his master's stern face awaited him, guiding him through the monotonous routine of practice day after day.
