I like the thought that Chinese invented gunpowder, and during CNY, we light up and make lots of noise with them. I hate the thought that this tradition is banned. To me. CNY has been a boring event reduced to gambling and eating since firecrackers fell silent.

Alas ! All is not lost ! We Chinese leave China mostly due to economic challenges, but China will always always in the hearts of all Chinese. Kong Hei Fatt Choy !!
