灯笼节的清晨，成都市的天空飘着细细的雪花，远处的景物被白雪覆盖。

On the morning of the Denglongjie (Lantern Festival), the sky over Chengdu was filled with fine snowflakes, and distant scenes were covered with white snow.

莉芬裹紧大衣，深吸了一口寒冷但是新鲜的空气，开始了她和家人的旅程。

Lifen wrapped her coat tightly around herself, took a deep breath of the cold but fresh air, and started her journey with her family.

他们一起去参观在大熊猫繁育研究基地工作的舅舅金海。

They were heading to visit her uncle, Jinhai, who works at the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base.

莉芬听说这个地方是世界上最著名的大熊猫保护区之一，心中的好奇和期待与日俱增。

Lifen had heard that this place is one of the most famous giant panda sanctuaries in the world, and her curiosity and anticipation grew with each passing day.

进入基地，莉芬立刻被一片生机勃勃的场景吸引。

Upon entering the base, Lifen was immediately drawn to the vibrant scene.

黑白相间的大熊猫在雪地里攀爬、嬉戏，显得格外可爱。

Black and white pandas were climbing and frolicking in the snow, appearing particularly adorable.

红灯笼悬挂在枝头和屋檐，给冬日的基地增加了一抹亮丽的色彩。

Red lanterns hung from the branches and eaves, adding a splash of bright color to the winter base.

这时，金海迎上来，和蔼地笑着。

Just then, Jinhai approached with a friendly smile.

“莉芬，欢迎来到我们的熊猫之家。希望你会喜欢这里！”金海说道，脸上挂着满满的自豪。

"Lifen, welcome to our panda home. I hope you will like it here!" Jinhai said, a look of pride on his face.

与金海同行的还有他的女儿，美玲，一个机灵的小姑娘，总是喜欢讲述她父亲工作中有趣的故事。

Accompanying Jinhai was his daughter, Meiling, a clever little girl who always enjoyed telling interesting stories about her father's work.

“莉芬姐姐，你知道吗？这些熊猫都是我们的家人，每一只都有自己的名字和故事。”美玲兴奋地说道。

"Lifen sister, did you know? These pandas are our family, and each one has its own name and story," Meiling said excitedly.

莉芬微笑着点头，可心里却觉得有些疏远。

Lifen nodded with a smile, but inside she felt a bit distant.

虽然她仰慕着舅舅的事业，但同时也感觉自己与家族的文化距离有些遥远。

Although she admired her uncle's career, she also felt somewhat detached from her family's culture.

午后，基地开始为灯笼节做准备。

In the afternoon, the base began preparations for the Lantern Festival.

红色的灯笼被小心翼翼地挂起，彩色的手工灯笼竞相辉映。

Red lanterns were carefully hung, and colorful handmade lanterns vied for attention.

莉芬有些犹豫，不确定自己是否该积极参与。

Lifen hesitated, unsure if she should actively participate.

然而，当她看到人们忙碌的身影，心里忽然涌出一股不容错过的冲动。

However, when she saw the busy figures of people around, an irresistible urge not to miss out suddenly welled up in her heart.

正值傍晚，灯笼节活动开始了。

As evening fell, the Lantern Festival activities began.

莉芬和美玲一起动手制作了一盏属于她们的灯笼。

Lifen and Meiling worked together to make a lantern of their own.

当灯光点亮的一刻，激动之情无法言表。

At the moment the light was turned on, the excitement was indescribable.

她们用灯笼上的笔写下了心愿。

They wrote down their wishes on the lantern.

随后，灯笼漫天飘舞，携着她们的祝福，慢慢升向天空。

Then, the lanterns floated across the sky, carrying their blessings, slowly ascending.

望着缓缓升起的灯笼，莉芬忽然感受到一种从未有过的宁静与连接。

Watching the slowly rising lanterns, Lifen suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of peace and connection.

她在星光与灯光汇聚的夜空下，似乎找到了与祖辈文化的联结。

Under the starry and lantern-lit night sky, she seemed to have found a connection with her ancestral culture.

她也发现，保护大熊猫不仅仅是舅舅的事业，更是每个家庭成员情感交流的一部分。

She also realized that protecting the giant pandas was not just her uncle's cause, but a part of emotional communication for every family member.

“真美！”莉芬轻声说道，心中温暖，脸上露出久违的笑容。

"So beautiful!" Lifen whispered, warmth in her heart, showing a long-lost smile on her face.

活动结束后，莉芬走到金海身边，由衷地对他说：“舅舅，我为你的工作感到骄傲，也为能成为这个家庭的一员感到自豪。”

After the event ended, Lifen walked up to Jinhai and sincerely said, "Uncle, I am proud of your work, and I am proud to be a member of this family."

金海微笑着拍拍她的肩膀回答：“无论走多远，文化总是我们回归的起点。”

Jinhai smiled and patted her shoulder, replying, "No matter how far you go, culture is always the starting point to return to."

在这一刻，莉芬终于体会到来自家庭和文化的归属感。

At this moment, Lifen finally experienced a sense of belonging from her family and culture.

她决定，要更多地了解自己的文化背景，拥抱这片土地给予她的温暖。

She decided to learn more about her cultural background and embrace the warmth this land offered her.

从这天起，莉芬以更加自信的步伐走向未来，而她的故事也在这个冬天的灯笼节中留下了温情的印记。

From this day on, Lifen walked into the future with more confidence, and her story left a warm imprint during this winter's Lantern Festival.
