🌸 Profound Content (spoken style)

在中国，重阳节其实不是一个很“热闹”的节日，它更像是一种提醒。提醒我们：家里的老人需要陪伴。很多人平时很忙，可是到了这一天，就会想起，要打个电话，要回去看看。爬山、吃糕、喝茶，好像都是小事情，但其实是让家人聚在一起的理由。每年都再来一次，这就是节日的意义吧。

In China, the Chongyang Festival is not really a “big and noisy” holiday. It feels more like a reminder — that the elders at home need our company. Many people are busy, but on this day, they remember to make a phone call, to go back for a visit. Climbing a mountain, eating cake, drinking tea — these all seem like small things, but really, they’re reasons to bring family together. Doing it again every year — that’s the meaning of a festival.
