There are many reasons why Christians are called Easter. The first is that this day is when Jesus rose from the dead and ascended in to heaven. They celebrate the resurrection and death of Jesus around this time of the year

How do Chinese people celebrate Easter?

Easter is a Christian holiday and unless those Chinese people are Christians as well, they do not celebrate Easter (unless they like to go Easter egg hunting, too). The great majority of people in China are not Christians and do not think about Easter much (although some department stores try to encourage Easter sales). Those who are Christians can celebrate by attending church, or quietly at home. However, Easter is not a public holiday, so Christians would probably work on Good Friday and Easter Monday. Overseas Chinese people who have adopted Christianity probably celebrate Easter in the same way as other Christians in the same region. However, many overseas Chinese people are not Christians and so, for them, Easter hasd little meaning. It is often possible to find small Chinese retail outlets open at Easter, for those groceries that you forgot to buy beforehand.
