The Lunar New Year festivities in China include having feasts with the family over two days with specific dishes each of which carries a prosperous message. The children receive red packets (or “Lai see”, shown here at the bottom right corner of the image) which are gift money as a new year’s blessing. A very common greeting would be "Kung Hei Fat Choi" which translates as “wishing you a good fortune”. It’s a standard phrase before getting your Lai See. There you have it! Wishing all of you good fortune over the year! May all your dreams and wishes come true <3 #chinesenewyear #ulaw #lawstudent
