Chinese (Lunar) New Years’ meaning & memories
“We tried to do what people would do back in the old country, but I felt like I was living a secret life.”
"It was interesting seeing Chinese New Year from different lenses.”
Gong Xi Fa Cai! ...a common Chinese wish of prosperity for the Lunar New Year - celebrated by more than a BILLION people around the world. So wanting to learn more - we once again brought back some past FrieMMds of the Pod to talk about the big day: Hollywood actor and producer Brian Yang (Linsanity, Snakehead, Hawaii 5-0), and fellow podcaster Lucia Liu (Rock the Boat, Bund to Brooklyn). As both Brian & Lucia grew up across Chinese and American cultures - we chatted about the many similarities - and differences - celebrating the Lunar New Year with family and friends. From proper greetings to red envelopes, from fun card games to learning how you should really eat the fish - you’ll enjoy this fun conversation among friends old and new. You’ll also find out who gives the best Lai See / Hóngbāo ((紅包) — the red envelopes everyone used to get (as kids), but now find ourselves all giving (as “grown ups”).
