It was this couple of months that I came to understand a new year for the Chinese starts after Winter Solstice festival and not the first day of Chinese New Year (CNY) celebration. During this time of the year the Chinese will start knocking the door of the hypermarkets and local stores in search for gourmet, delicacies, wines, seafood, cookies, clothing, (and the lists goes on)… whether it sounded weird or not it is really true that CNY is merely just a coincidence the first day of the chinese lunar calender. How true? Just ask your old folks or great gramps about it, ok.
