Gong hey fat choy!
It’s incumbent on me to say that seeing as we’re in the swing of the Lunar New Year period (festivities technically kicked off on Monday with New Year’s Eve and will last until Valentine’s Day). This is the one time of the year when Chinese (although LNY is celebrated across East and South-East Asia) culture is front and centre in the UK, resplendent in red and gold and suddenly even the lollipop lady is wishing you happy new year in Cantonese. Oh look, Chinatown is on BBC News! Quick, get the TV-record feature on, there’s actual Chinese people on the telly! Blue Peter might have a lion dance!
