Many young people in China are facing a rare dilemma of the heart next month when Chinese New Year's Day occurs at the same time as Valentine's Day. Spend the holiday with your family or with your lover? Many saying they'll try to do both. Chinese New Year's Day, or the Spring Festival, is a traditional day for family reunions. With its arrival this year on February 14, the topic, "To be with your parents or your lover on the day," is arousing hot discussion on online forums.

On a local parent-child forum sh.talk.iyaya.com, most participants said they will try to strike a balance."I'll go to visit my grandparents' home with my parents during the daytime, and then go out dining with my boyfriend in the evening," said an ID called piao on the forum. Some young men said they would take their girlfriend home to have dinner with parents on the Chinese New Year's Day. Some hotels and restaurants said they will promote Valentine packages starting at the end of the month so young people can have a Valentine dinner ahead of time. The Shanghai Restaurants Association said restaurants which cover both family love and lovers' affection ...
... will win the market."It will be satisfactory if the service and food can meet the needs of both seniors and young people," said the secretary general of the association.

The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees. Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts every year in the early days of the 12th lunar month and will last till the mid 1st lunar month of the next year. Of them, the most important days are Spring Festival Eve and the first three days. The Chinese government now stipulates people have seven days off for the Chinese Lunar New Year.
