城东年货节热闹启幕

### English Translation Title: East District New Year’s Goods Festival Kicks Off

News Summary:
On January 16, the fourth annual New Year’s Goods Festival in Xining’s Chengdong District officially opened at the Huixin Market. The event follows the model “government provides the stage, businesses perform, everyone enjoys,” aiming to create a Spring Festival scene where residents can shop for holiday supplies and experience local culture. Stalls were bustling, drawing large numbers of people eager to pick out their New Year’s provisions.

More than 200 local specialty vendors displayed Qinghai products such as yak jerky, red‑black goji berries, ginseng fruit, and yogurt. Over 130 merchants offering everyday items—spices, cleaning supplies, festive decorations—provided a one‑stop shop. At the same time, a Spring‑Festival cultural performance featured ethnic songs, dances, and traditional comedic acts, with interactive segments that heightened the festive atmosphere and encouraged community participation.

Reflection and Insight:
Villagers come to the market first to stock up for their families and second to socialize and strengthen bonds. Amid the lively scene there is both practical daily life and the warmth of neighborly fellowship. Such gatherings remind us that diligent work and mutual help are not only about material preparation but also about keeping the community peaceful and watchful over one another.

The teaching in Scripture about the Lord’s provision calls us to attend to our everyday needs with honesty and diligence. This simple principle shines through the buying, selling, and assistance exchanged during the festival. May we, in the midst of busyness, watch over our families, help one another, and welcome the New Year in safety and peace.

Scripture: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Psalm 23:1
