Even if you celebrate the New Year on the spot, you still have to taste the delicious food from your hometown. The Spring Festival has begun, and it will soon be the annual Spring Festival. For the Chinese, the Spring Festival is the most important festival. On New Year's Eve, every household will sit together to eat New Year's Eve dinner and stay up late amidst the sound of firecrackers, which represents the beginning of the Lunar New Year. However, due to the prevention and control of the epidemic, local governments this year encourage everyone to "celebrate the New Year in situ" and provide Spring Festival subsidies to people who do not go home. In order not to burden the country and for the sake of everyone’s life and health, many people who work outside the home choose not to go home for the New Year. Therefore, in order to alleviate the homesickness of tourists, many businesses have supplied specialties from various places to meet people's needs.

China is a big country, and Chinese cuisine is even more extensive and profound. Food not only represents the characteristics of a country, but also makes people who are away from home never forget it, because it is the taste of hometown and the taste of longing. On New Year's Eve, we can see that many people will post their home-cooked New Year's Eve dinner on WeChat Moments. Every household's New Year's Eve dinner is different, and New Year's Eve dinners across the country are even more different. So, how can these tourists in a foreign land prepare a table of delicious food with the flavor of their hometown this year?

A video shot by a Hunan girl on Dad’s Thousand Miles of Handwritten Recipes has aroused heated discussions among netizens. So what is the content of this video? It turns out that the Hunan girl who shot the video said that because of the epidemic this year, she and her husband were unable to return to their hometown in Hunan, so her father specially sent her the recipes of hometown dishes on WeChat. In the video, this Hunan girl bought bacon from the supermarket and planned to make a Hunan iconic dish? Stir-fried bacon with chili pepper. So, she made a video call to her father. In the video, her father taught her daughter how to make this dish very carefully, and the details were explained very clearly. After the video call ended, the father was still worried, so he specially handwritten the recipe and took a photo of it and passed it to his daughter. The daughter also expressed that she was very touched by her father's attentiveness.

My opinion is that there is a poem circulating on the Internet, which is: "In the past, carriages and horses sent mail very slowly, and there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime." In fact, this poem expresses the meaning of handwritten recipes very well. Handwritten recipes are just like writing letters, which can make people feel the sincerity and love contained in the words. Nowadays, we have long been accustomed to paperless offices. We are also accustomed to typing or sending emails on mobile phones. Few people still use letters. But in the past, whether it was to express love between men and women or write letters home, they all used letters. The way of handwriting is because words are alive and can express emotions through the tip of the pen.
