“我在中国反复观察到一种现象，中国能够将传统价值与现代技术融为一体，春节便是一个极佳的例证。” 世界知识产权组织前总干事高锐(Francis Gurry)近日接受中国新闻网专访时，分享了自己对于中国春节习俗的观察。

他表示，中国四通八达的铁路网络让春运这一现象得以形成，为家人团聚提供了便利；如今，数字技术更是让红包“联网”，为传统节日增添了新意。

“I think, Chinese New Year is a very good example of something that I see, as an observer, repeated over and over in China. And in Chinese culture, that is the capacity to integrate traditional values with the modern and new technologies,” said Francis Gurry, the former Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), in a recent interview with China News Network.

He noted that the extensive rail network has made the annual Spring Festival travel rush possible, providing convenience for families to reunite, while digital technology has brought the tradition of red envelopes online, adding a modern touch to the holiday.

In conclusion, Gurry sincerely wishes all his Chinese friends a happy Year of the Snake and hopes everyone would have a successful and smooth year ahead. (Lin Zhuowei)
