More and more adults feel that:

Spring Festival is not relaxing, but rather exhausting.
It's not because of visiting relatives,
but because—
Spring Festival feels like a high-intensity performance review of life.
Asking about marriage, partners, income,
all fundamentally ask the same question:
👉 Over the past year, have you "delivered results"?
In childhood, Spring Festival
allowed you to be "nothing at all."
But now, Spring Festival implicitly expects you to:
• Keep up with progress
• Stay in the race
• Compare yourself to others
The so-called "taste of the New Year fading,"
may not be due to the loss of rituals,
but because for a long time,
we haven't been allowed to just be ourselves.
This is a topic that Brother Cat thinks is worth discussing slowly.
