Happy Lunar New Year!


To all my readers out there, here's wishing you an auspicious and prosperous Chinese New Year! I look forward to your continued support by buying my ebooks on Amazon! (More information about my books can be found throughout this blog.)

Chinese New Year, or Lunar New Year, is a widely celebrated event and brings together families for reunion dinners. The entire festival lasts for 15 days and includes relatives visiting one another, food fairs at Chinatowns worldwide and the practice of Chinese traditions such as firecrackers to usher in the start of the Chinese year.

It is the Year of the Horse (Google marked the year with a new doodle as reported by the Telegraph) and to conclude this short blog post, I'm ending off with a popular song heard during Chinese New Year titled 贺新年. 

I also found it hilarious when I chanced upon this article published by the Financial Times - For rent: A boyfriend at Chinese New Year. Surely a good way to earn some money aside from the usual tradition of giving and receiving red packets (hongbaos) from relatives. (Only married couples can give red packets.)


Lyrics of the song are as follows: 
贺新年祝新年
新年啦年连年
爆竹声声催的响又远
贺新年祝新年
新年啦年连年
岁月悠悠光阴如箭
回首往事如烟痛苦辛酸
寄望从今万事如愿
贺新年祝新年
新年啦年连年
愿大家都过个太平年
贺新年祝新年
新年啦年连年
爆竹声声催的响又远
贺新年祝新年
新年啦年连年
岁月悠悠光阴如箭
回首往事如烟痛苦辛酸
寄望从今万事如愿
贺新年祝新年
新年啦年连年
愿大家都过个太平年
回首往事如烟痛苦辛酸
寄望从今万事如愿
贺新年祝新年
新年啦年连年
愿大家都过个太平年
愿大家都过个太平年
