A happy, prosperous New Year

Chinese across the world will celebrate the Year of the Pig on Tuesday.

Whether you are still in the office working to complete the assigned task at the last minute, or traveling back home, or sitting by the fireside with your family, we wish you a happy Lunar New Year.

Things have changed dramatically in recent years. Gone are the days when people longed for Lunar New Year to enjoy good food, considered luxurious for the rest of the year. Yet attending or organizing parties is still an indispensable part of the festival. In these times of fast-paced urbanization, Lunar New Year is almost the only occasion for people to meet their childhood friends and share the memories of the days gone by.
