Holding his sister Candy, Mo Jingchun saw the red couplets at the entrance of his second uncle’s house and was in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sound of firecrackers, a year has passed; the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands of households greet the new year’s sunshine by replacing the old with new peach-wood charms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other people’s homes, the old spring couplets were already replaced with brand new red ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as for Mo Jingchun?
