恭賀新禧! Happy New Year!
Well whilst romantic Westerners preoccupy themselves with St. Valentine’s Day, the Chinese are celebrating the start of the New Year so here’s a card and a message for the Year of the Tiger:
Typically Chinese families gather on New Year’s Eve and have a family feast; the Chinese need little encouragement to cook, eat, converse, wish each other fortuity and enjoy ourselves — LOL. Amongst the dozen or so delicacies served at the family meal, the centerpiece is always……….the fish (our two were braised with shallots whose homophone in Chinese has links with “smartness / intelligence” — what a language, hmmn (?) when even shallots have semantic meanings, LOL):
Anyway, I wish everyone a “新年快樂!”
