# Last Weeks Homework
**Synopsis from Chinese Class_2026-02-19.md:** This session focused on Chinese New Year traditions, including the Spring Gala (春晚), Lunar New Year's Eve (除夕), and the linguistic origin of the phrase "killing your uncle" (死舅) as a pun for "missing old times" (思旧). It also introduced a new grammar structure for expressing that an action is an important step toward a goal.
