2009 Chinese New Year Party (NTNU-OIA)

National Taiwan Normal University Office of the International Affairs Lunar Year Party 2009
Chinese New Year's Eve - Chúxì 除夕(Chu "change" and xi means "eve")
A reunion dinner is held on New Year's Eve where members of the family, near and far, get together for celebration. The venue will usually be in the home of the most senior member of the family. The New Year's Eve dinner is very sumptuous and traditionally includes chicken and fish. Fish (魚, yú) is included, but not eaten up completely (and the remainder is stored overnight), as the Chinese phrase 年年有餘 (nián nián yǒu yú), which means "may there be surpluses every year", sounds the same as "may there be fish every year."

The Red Envelope:
Red packets for the immediate family are sometimes distributed during the reunion dinner. These packets often contain money in certain numbers that reflect good luck and honorability.
Thanks for the Hong Bao this year!
