The 30th day of La Yue marks Spring Festival Eve, when family members gather for a big reunion, which is especially meaningful for those who have been away from home for either work or study. Feasting on a banquet and watching the Spring Festival Gala on television have become an annual fixture for almost all Chinese. People stay up late and ring in the New Year with their loved ones.
