春节,对于我们在海外工作的华人华侨来说,都是一个很特殊的日子。由于春节国外不放假,或因工作等特殊原因,并非每个春节都可以回国与家人团聚,真正体会到了“每逢佳节倍思亲”,在节日的喜悦中夹杂着一丝遗憾和牵挂。
春节是团圆的节日,即便无法与家人团聚,我们也要与同在国外生活的朋友们聚一聚,一起到中国饭店团聚,既应景又可以品尝到家乡饭菜的味道,一举两得。
说起中国饭店,我们一般选择最有中国特色的位于在圣彼得堡俄中商务园里的“秦始皇”大饭店。4000平方米的占地面积,还有演出用的大舞台,每逢节日这里都热闹非凡,中国人和深爱中国文化的俄罗斯人一起聚在这里,举杯畅饮!
最不可或缺的,当然要数新年大餐——“春节晚会”,虽然俄罗斯亲友团们不能全部听懂,不过毕竟是中国春节,他们也融入欢乐的庆祝氛围中,其乐融融。新年钟声敲响后,由于有时差,俄罗斯这边还是晚上7点,所以每年的新年问候都好像是隔着时空的祝福。最让我们雀跃的,是俄罗斯专业民族音乐歌舞团队的表演助兴,将我们的新年狂欢推向高潮!
每逢春节,有时还有到国外演出的华人表演团队,也能看到听到当地华人留学生们自己组织的卡拉OK大赛,别有一番情调!这里已经不能用“热闹”来形容,这里流露和展现的,是我们每个身居海外的华人华侨内心深处对家乡深深的思念,对祖国的满腔自豪和祝愿,这种没有国界的同庆,每个春节的“今宵”都令我们无比难忘!
当然,能够回国与家人共度春节,是最温暖的时刻,尤其是家人一起包水饺,我们家的“混血小仙女”最喜欢的就是包水饺。吃着水饺,看着春晚,是我也是我的孩子关于春节最深的记忆。
正月初一,我们会带孩子去逛逛趵突泉新春花灯会,数千盏各式花灯、看白雪楼戏曲演出、猜灯谜、看艺术表演;也会去芙蓉街游玩,在大明湖走走……总之,春节将济南这座老城装扮得更加迷人,我的俄罗斯籍妻子非常喜欢山东,究其原因,与这种深厚的地域文化的吸引是分不开的,我的孩子也越来越喜欢中国传统的“年”文化。
不论是在俄罗斯过春节,还是回到故乡过团圆年,历久而弥深的,是我们骨子里流淌的,对中国传统文化的根深蒂固的热爱。

○除夕夜带家人享用中餐,是宋锐过春节的惯例。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.
