Snow hits lantern to end the Spring FestivalPosted by Tsingsong, February 24, 2005 6:02 PM
 "Snow hits lanterns in Yuanxiao Festival" was the most popular headline for today's newspapers. It snowed heavily in Beijing yesterday evening — the Lantern or Yuanxiao Festival. This was the seventh time it has snowed on this festival in the last 50 years. In traditional Chinese culture, snow during the Lantern Festival means good luck for the coming year. The front page with the "snow hits lantern" photo is from Beijing Daily Messenger. The black leading headline is: "Agricultural Bank of China changes its debit cards with numbers starting with the digits 103". (Customers with such cards found that money had disappeared from their bank accounts, raising security concerns.) |
