Chinese New Year (also known as Lunar New Year and Spring Fesrival) will be celebrated Friday, February 12.
Parties and travel are discouraged in many parts of the world right now as Covid-19 casts a shadow for its second year but many families still mark the occasion.
Farewell to the Year of the Rat and usher in the Year of the Ox which is said to be “year of endurance — not just about survival but about anchoring ourselves and concretizing our dreams.”
The festivity is not only celebrated in Chinese communities all over the world but in other Asian nations such as Vietnam and South Korea.
