編者按：主題為「寒假」的澎湃第五屆寒暑假徵稿活動正式啟動至今，我們收到了不少小畫家、小作家們的作品。孩子們用文字、圖像、視頻，展示了他們眼中的寒假生活，接下來作品會陸續刊登。
今天刊登的是來自ValeyVast 英語俱樂部的Mantis小朋友的投稿。往年，Mantis小朋友會回成都看望自己的祖父母。他們喜歡吃蝦，因為蝦的樣子像笑臉。Mantis一家人也會下面吃，因為麵條象徵著長壽。今年則不同，因為新冠疫情Mantis只能呆在家裡。他說，「新冠病毒強大，但是中國更強大。」讓我們起來讀一讀他的作文吧。
作品：《Chinese New Year for my Family》
作者：李東爾（Mantis）8歲進才實驗小學二（14）班
Chinese New Year is a traditional holiday which is the most important festival for Chinese people. The reason for that is that the coming of Chinese New Year means the beginning of a whole new year.
When Chinese New Year comes, we usually go to Cheng Du where I can meet my grandparents. We like to eat some delectable food. We like to eat shrimp. The reason for that is that the shrimp looks like a happy face. We also like to eat noodles, because we think noodles mean long life. Besides of that, we also play fireworks.
But this Year is different, because there is a virus called corona virus. Corona virus is very dangerous, so this year, we can’t go outside, and we need to put on masks. Corona virus is very strong, but China is stronger.
