Chinese performers add color to Spring Festival in New Zealand

It is nearly 11 pm, yet 3-year-old Xinxin is still bouncing around the cashier counter in her parents' restaurant in Auckland city.

Clad in a sleeveless white polka-dotted red dress with her hair in braids, she looks like she is in the mood to party.

She is waiting for her new idols - several Chinese performing artists featured on the poster displayed on the glass wall of the restaurant over the past two months - to come.
