Title: Chapter 31: Recuperate
To coincide with the Lunar New Year, the military would host a parade in Beijing.
The author does not seem to understand the meaning of this festival to China. This holiday for China is similar to Christmas in European and American countries. The leader delivered a New Year message, and the people ate dumplings at home. Even the military will uniformly make and eat dumplings on this day. Most government agencies and almost all companies suspended their work on this day. During the day on this day, people need to visit relatives and friends (this is not an option but a mandatory option, otherwise they will be regarded as alienated from each other), and in the evening they need to eat together and watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV. In other words, no one has time to watch the military parade on this day.
Author's Response: Ah that is very good to know! This is the dangers posed when you write a story which is largely based in another culture, of which I lack a good chunk of knowledge. With this in mind I will absolutely edit this most recent chapter in the final few paragraphs to correct this mistake and be sure to have that fixed before the next update. I greatly appreciate the chance to learn more about Chinese cultural practices and wouldn’t want to make such massive mistakes again so it is awesome to have someone able to correct them! In the future if any similar issues are noted I would be delighted to see where I can improve as well.
