Wow, the Chinese truly are money-oriented, no wonder we have the stereotype of the Chinese businessman in Southeast Asia. The only thing we do with our New Year's celebration is eat. Grin

I don't think there's anything wrong talking about finances, I think it's even a good part of your culture that you are thinking about growing wealth.

But yeah, take everything with a grain of salt. If getting rich is easy, then everyone of those people giving "good" financial advice should all be rich by now.

Just try to have fun, don't mind the aunties asking about your romantic status and weight, enjoy your family's company and keep Corona-chan out of the party.

Yeah, all schools are encouraging every single kids to appreciate this little usual moment, and celebrate it to your heart content. Btw Corona-chan is welcome too, there is nothing wrong too with just a tiny piece of virus, we need that badly.

Today is the Chinese New Year and these are just words of encouragement and encouragement from their relatives. In Asia, Chinese culture has a wide influence on the surrounding countries so I understand this, I am also an Asian.
All these words want to motivate you to become a better person and they want you to be better in the new year. they have no negative thoughts, they are all willing to help each other. They still have fun and gambling. Grin

Not only that, the need is increasing when the Chinese New Year, we already know the culture of gambling while drinking very closely with their communities. And of course it is necessary to spend more money than distributing envelopes containing money to relatives.
On the other side of the Chinese New Year celebration is the existence of the Corona virus outbreak, as reported by several news sites, the Chinese New Year celebration is thought to cause the Chinese economy faltered due to this corona virus.
Usually the Chinese when celebrating Chinese New Year always travel to visit relatives for about 1 week. Chinese New Year usually becomes the momentum that drives the wheels of the economy. Sectors affected positively by this tradition are transportation, tourism, hospitality, restaurants to other entertainment industries. This is where China's economy will increase with the number of public transportation, public shopping places etc. many visited by people. But now it is different due to the outbreak of the corona virus which makes Chinese people worried, the Chinese government ordered the closure of some tourism facilities, transportation etc. to prevent the outbreak of this corona virus.

This is part of the new year, we urge the outsider take this moment with a grain of salt. Many curious travellers love to make a big fuss out of it. Btw Corona make a good addition to our never ending need, we need taxes, bank, getting married, invest, a job, and a little nourishing drop of Corona wraths.
