Happy Chinese New (Niu)Year ,Kung Hey Fat Choy! from Millennium Harbourview Hotel Xiamen




in Millennium Harbourview Hotel Xiamen , the red laterns are decoraed as a tradition , and the peach blossom tree is right at the middle to bring all the message of luck and fortune .

You have got the most blessing of the year in Chinese New Year ,people also say Kung Hey Fat Choy ( Cantonese pronounciation) ,which means May fortune be with you! Since this year 2009 is the year of Ox, and the pronouciation of ox is 'Niu' in Chinese , so recently people may say in double blessing : Happy 'Niu' Year !

And Why red? we Chinese people call deliver the new year 'Guo Nian' .Why is that?

According to tales and legends, the beginning of Chinese New Year started with the fight against a mythical beast called the Nian or "Year" in Chinese. Nian would come on the first day of New Year to devour livestock, crops, and even villagers, especially children. To protect themselves, the villagers would put food in front of their doors at the beginning of every year. It was believed that after the Nian ate the food they prepared, it wouldn’t attack any more people. One time, people saw that the Nian was scared away by a little child wearing red. The villagers then understood that the Nian was afraid of the color red. Hence, every time when the New Year was about to come, the villagers would hang red lanterns and red spring scrolls on windows and doors. People also used firecrackers to frighten away the Nian. From then on, the Nian never came to the village again. The Nian was eventually captured by Hongjunlaozu, an ancient Taoist monk. The Nian became Hongjunlaozu's mount.

Well , that is fun!

Obama's inaugural speech , he is the man!


For how long we have not heard such a good speech? Yes, I did not sleep till 3:00am the inauguration night ( China Time). He is some one , a statesmen , somehow beyond politics , I trust , he can push the world. If the Olymplic opening ceremony is biggest hit in 2008 , then the Obama's Inauguration is the one in 2009 .

What I like him in the speech and oath , the points are :

His mind of mercy to all mankind ,all kinds, I can feel . Even his enemy , I feel he is still as kind as possible .
His calmness , even in the oath , the mistake was laughed about in such a simple way . Great self-confidence!
The world is changing , as the leader of the strongest country in the world , he knows he is the change .

There are more to say , but put it simple , to me Obama's speech is one of most wonderful speeches in modern history!

Year 2009 is Year of Ox , here is some information you can get from , a hard working year!

According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2009 is the Year of the Ox. The Ox, or the Buffalo sign symbolizes prosperity through fortitude and hard work. Those born under the influence of the Ox or Buffalo are fortunate to be stable and persevering. The typical Ox is a tolerant person with strong character. Not many people could equal the resolution and fearlessness that the Ox exhibits when deciding to accomplish a task. Ox people work hard without complaints at work or at home. They know that they will succeed through hard work and sustained efforts, and do not believe in get-rich-quick schemes.
