Spring Festival self-help guide

 

 

nǐ jié hūn le mɑ

   

nǐ jiā xīn le mɑ

   

 

nǐ mǎi fánɡ le mɑ

“ 你 买    了 吗 ? ? ? ”

"Have you gotten married?"

"Have you received a salary raise??"

"Have you bought a house???"

 

 nǐ duì zhè xiē wèn nǐ yǒu méi yǒu jiā xīn mǎi fánɡ yǒu méi yǒu duì xiànɡ

                                    

qiě yǐ bù zhǐ yí ɡè wèn hào jié wěi de wèn tí shì fǒu yǐ jīnɡ fēi chánɡ shú xī

                            

Are you familiar with these questions starting with "have you" and ending in at least one question mark?

 

rú ɡuǒ nǐ de dá àn shì kěn dìnɡ de nǐ yǐ jīnɡ bèi zhè xiē wèn tí fán tòu le

                         

nà me nǐ hěn yǒu kě nénɡ jiù shì yì mínɡ kǒnɡ ɡuī zú

 

                  

If your answer is yes and you are getting sick of answering these questions, you probably have become a member of the "home-fear group".

 

 

kǒnɡ ɡuī zú zhǐ de shì nà xiē duì yú chūn jié qī jiān huí jiā ɡǎn dào yā lì hěn dà de rén

                                

yóu yú chén zhònɡ de jīnɡ jì yā lì chūn jié de ɡāo chénɡ běnmǎi piào nán lù tú yuǎn

                                   

ɡè rén jiɑ tínɡ huò zhě liàn ài qínɡ kuànɡ bào ɡuānɡ děnɡ yīn sù

                               

tā men duì yú huí nián ɡuò nián yǒu zhe shēn shēn de dān yōu

 

                           

The "home-fear group" refers to those feeling anxious about returning home during the Spring Festival. They have deep concerns about going back home for such factors as heavy economic pressure, high costs of the festival, the troubles of buying tickets, the long distance of the journey and exposure of private matters relating to family or love life.

 

suó yǐ yì shǒu wéi zhè ɡe qún tǐ liánɡ shēn dǎ zào de ɡē qǔ chū xiàn le

                        

As a result, a special song has been tailor-made for this group.

 

jì yǐ qián zǒu hónɡ de shén qū ɡǎn jué shēn tǐ bèi tāo kōnɡ zhī hòu

                            

shànɡ hǎi cǎi hónɡ shì nèi hé chànɡ tuán tuī chū le xīn zuòchūn jié zì jiù zhǐ nán

                                          

After the popularity of the So Far, the Sofa is So Far in the past, Shanghai Rainbow Indoor Chorus has released another song called What I Do is for Your Own Good.

 

zhè shǒu ɡē shí chánɡ  fēn zhōnɡcǎi yònɡ le hé chànɡ hè shuō chànɡ jié hé de fānɡ shì

                                        

kāi shǐ de bù fen cǎi yònɡ hé chànɡ xínɡ shì zhǎn xiàn le ɡānɡ huí jiā de nián qīnɡ rén

                                      

jīnɡ lì de jiā rén kǎo wèn chánɡ jǐnɡ

                

zài qīn qi de ɡè zhǒnɡ wèn tí hōnɡ zhà zhī hòu nián qīnɡ rén kāi shǐ yǐ shuō chànɡ de

                                       

xínɡ shì huí ɡù zì jǐ de ɡuò qù bìnɡ wéi zì jǐ biàn jiě

 

                  

The seven-minute song utilizes a choir style and rap. The beginning of the song is sung by the choir, which involves a family scene where a recently returned young adult is asked a series of questions by family members. After the "question attack" from relatives, the young man decides to reflect on his past and also defend himself through rap.

 

 

zhí děi zhù yì de shì tā men dōu bú shì zhuān yè ɡē shǒu

 得 注意 的 是,  他 们 都 不 是  业 歌 手 ,

ér shì yì qún yǒu zhe duō zhǒnɡ bù tónɡ zhí yè de yīn yuè ài hào zhě

                            

bǐ rú chénɡ xù yuán shè jì shī kuài jì yǐ jí rén lèi xué

                   

huà xué hé měi shí zhuān yè de yán jiū shēnɡ

                   

yóu yú tā bú shì yì shǒu yán sù de ɡē qǔ wèi le yú lè xiào ɡuǒ

               

hái jiā rù le hěn duō ɡǎo xiào de shēnɡ yīn hé zī shì

 

                   姿  

It is worthwhile to note that none of the singers are professionals but actually music-lovers with diverse careers, including programmers, designers and accountants, as well as graduate students in anthropology, chemistry and gourmet food. As it is not a serious song, some funny sounds and postures are added for entertainment.

 

 

jù shànɡ hǎi cǎi hónɡ shì nèi hé chànɡ tuán ɡuān fānɡ wēi bó biǎo shì

                                    

zhè bù jǐn shì yì shǒu ɡǎo xiào de ɡē qǔ hái shì nián qīnɡ rén de shí yònɡ zhǐ nán

                                    

zǐ xì tīnɡ ɡē cí nǐ huì dé dào yì xiē línɡ ɡǎn lái jī linɡ de huí dá xǔ duō

仔 细 听歌 词 , 你 会得 到 一 些灵 感来机 灵的 回 答 许 多

chūn jié tè sè de kǎo wèn

 

        

According to the official weibo account of Shanghai Rainbow Indoor Chorus, this is more than just a funny song, but a useful guide for young people. A careful listen to some of the lyrics will inspire you on how to wisely answer many ’Spring Festival-specific’ questions.

 

 

jù zhōnɡ ɡuó qīnɡ nián bào yán jiū zhōnɡ xīn zuì jìn duì  rén

                              

jìn xínɡ de yí xiànɡ diào chá

    的 一 项       , 

zhàn jué dà duō shù de  de shòu fǎnɡ zhě rèn wéi chūn jié bì xū huí lǎo jiā tuán yuán

              访                         

rán ér yóu yú pínɡ pínɡ chánɡ chánɡ de shēnɡ huó

                         

huò zhě pínɡ pínɡ dàn dàn de zhí yè

               

qí zhōnɡ jìn yí bàn rén biǎo dá le tā men de dān xīn

 

                  

According to a survey recently conducted among 1,918 young people by the research center at China Youth Daily, an overwhelming 86.4 percent of interviewees think it is necessary to return to their homeland during the Spring Festival. However, nearly half of them (42.6 percent) have expressed their concerns for returning, as they are afraid of losing face for an average life or career.

 

 

At the beginning of the music video, a classic line from Forrest Gump is cited: "Life is like a box of chocolates you will never know what you going to get."
ɡē qǔ  de kāi tóu yǐn yònɡ le diàn yǐnɡ ā  ɡān zhènɡ zhuàn lǐ de jīnɡ diǎn jù zi

歌 曲的 开 头引用了 电影 《 阿 甘  传》 里 的 经    句 子 ,

shēnɡ huó jiù xiànɡ yì hé qiǎo kè lì nǐ yónɡ yuǎn bù zhī dào xià yì kē

                          

shì shén me wèi dào

         

 

jié wěi yě hū yìnɡ le zhǔ tí què shí wǒ men kě nénɡ méi yǒu nà me yōu xiù

                         

dàn wǒ men yí dìnɡ huì nǔ lì de

        

zhè jiù ɡòu le

这        

bì jìnɡ ɡuò nián jiù shì wèi le tuán jù ér bú shì dǎ jī

 

                  

"Indeed, we may not be that good but we will work hard in the future. That’s enough! After all, the essence of spending the Spring Festival is reunion not compression," the song echoes the theme at the ending.
