Reading

Regarding birthday celebrations, there are different traditionsĀ all around the world / world wide / globally / all across the world /Ā in different countries. InĀ China, we also have some traditions on thisĀ topic. ForĀ newborns,Ā we will celebrate his or her 100 days asĀ theirĀ most important birthdayĀ which isĀ even more important thanĀ the first /1stĀ Ā orĀ tenth/10th birthdays.Ā Itā€™s also very special to celebrateĀ the thirtieth/30thĀ on oneā€™sĀ 29thĀ birthday party.Ā NineĀ in Chinese means longĀ soĀ we wish we could have a long long life. ForĀ seniors/elderly people,Ā itā€™s dangerous to celebrateĀ their 70th, 80thĀ andĀ 90th becauseĀ itā€™s said thatĀ theĀ King of Hell would know youĀ are alive,Ā and take you away.
