Not sure if globalization and economic progress has diminished the meaning CNY. If the old days, children are always looking towards CNY (my guess). All the new year goodies, new clothes, reunion dinner and angpao etc.
These days, we get to eat new year goodies like bak kua as and when we like. We also get to buy clothes throughout the year. Reunion dinner or special occasions like birthdays are occasions where people get to eat the better food like seafood. In older days, even food like chicken and duck are reserved for such occasions. In Today's context, Chicken rice or duck rice is more like a convenient food when people do not know what to eat or when they are in a rush.
Am I getting old or have I (over)progressed with the society? How do I go about highlighting the significance of such festive period and impact such knowledge to my son next time?
