Gong Hei Fat Choy! Wait, how is that? I don't even have the tiniest blood of a Chinese! Whatever, anyways, wishing you all prosperity in this Chinese New Year 2025!
You probably thought of why do we even care about Chinese New Year though we aren't Chinese at all. Well, let me enlighten you with my personal notions.
The celebration of Chinese New Year is not exclusively observed by the Chinese, but so the whole world. I believe that we tend to celebrate foreign commemorations because of their value, and the prevailing beliefs that is involved to it. When it comes to the Chinese New Year, we often picture it with gold coins, lavish decorations, the celestial bodies (such the dragon) that symbolizes the year, vivid burst of light in sky or fireworks, and especially the ampaw (red certificate with a money on it). With such, consequently, we hope that luck and prosperity would also enter our homes. So do we, adapting from the effects of multiculturalism and globalization by the shared ideas of other nations!
At last, the observation of Chinese New Year, but also other foreign commemorations or festivities because of multiculturalism and the world-changing impact of the globalization and this gives the ideology of inclusivity and free will to flourish.
