About this episode
Festivals reveal a society's values. In China, few moments do so like Spring Festival, especially from the second day onward, when private rituals become public celebration. Welcoming the son-in-law and worshipping ancestors and gods once reflected an agrarian world of kinship and survival. Today, these same customs sit alongside malls, livestreamed fairs, and global audiences. What happens when tradition meets urbanization and technology? On the show: Niu Honglin, Steve & Yangyang
