给我世界的华人朋友们，
春节快乐！
一瞬间，兔年已过去了。
龙年的今年，夹道！
在我写部落格这么久，
我很少写华文的故事。
我都不知道是否我的华文
是及格，过关还是幼稚呢？
各位，如果你认为我的华语
配不上你的标准，那我要抱歉哦！
*
身为华人的我，
我觉得是个必须来为各位
华族 拜个年！
新年快乐！
恭喜发财！
万事如意！
身体健康！
心想事成！
龙年行大运！
坦白说，我对华人新年的传统习俗
很陌生。
我认为，对新世纪的华人，
这些传统的习俗是个挑战。
在追随世界的进步，
我们的脚步不得不快。
因此，有一些华人就宁愿
少做这些习俗。
比如，华人常常会
捞生。
信不信由你，
但在我活了十八年内，
今天还是我第一次 捞生 呢！
哈哈！ 明白了吗？
*
很多人会问我，
“咦？ 你不是基督徒吗？
你有庆祝华人新年？”
我就会回答说
“我虽是个基督徒，
但我是个华人啊！
我仍然是龙的传人啊！”
我为我自己骄傲！
我为华人骄傲！
我为我的根骄傲！
*
各位华人，虽然我不是孔子，
也不是什么孟子，
不会写诗，
也不会朗诵，
但我要说出我的心声。
让我们在这庆典之中，
不时地提醒自己，
别忘了自己的根，
要常常记得我门是华人，
是龙的传人。
我们，黄皮肤，黑头发，
应为我们自己感到骄傲，
感到荣耀。
华族！ 再次祝贺各位
新年快乐！
谢谢！

To all my Chinese friends
throughout the globe,
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
In the blink of an eye, the year of Rabbit
had left us with now, the year of the Dragon.
All these while, in my blogging history,
I have rarely written any story of mine
in Chinese language.
And for that, I would not know
if my Chinese language got a Pass
of a Fail.
I here by sincerely apologize if my
Chinese language is not as good as you expected.
*
As Chinese, I had in mind,
that it is a must for me,
to wish all Chinese people,
a very Happy Chinese New Year!
May you have a blessed year,
a great prosperity,
a smooth journey,
a sound health,
and good luck in this dragon year!
Honestly, I have little knowledge
about the Chinese tradition of
Chinese New Year.
To me, it is a challenge to catch up
all tradition of the Chinese New Year.
As the world grows exceedingly fast towards modern,
we cannot lose our footsteps with it.
And for the reason of being too busy in this race,
many of us Chinese have decided to cut down
on much of the tradition of this celebration.
For example, lao sheng.
Believe it or not,
in my eighteen years,
this year had been my first time
to lao sheng!
(an example of my friends and family and I doing 'lao sheng'
**I'm the one with the super short hair at the right side XD)
*
Friends of mine usually ask me,
"hey man, you're a Christian,
and you're celebrating
Chinese New Year?"
And my answer would be the same every year.
"Friends, I may be a Christian,
but do not forget,
I am Chinese too!"
And Chinese celebrates Chinese New Year.
There is nothing wrong with that, right?
For that, I am proud of myself,
proud of the Chinese
and proud of my root as a Chinese!
*
Lastly, to all Chinese people out there,
I may not be those famous Chinese poets,
and I don't write famous Chinese poems,
but let me tell you something.
Take this celebration,
as a reminder for every one of us,
that we should not forget our roots,
and that is we are all Chinese,
the descendants of the Dragon.
Yellow skin, black hair,
and as Chinese as we are,
we should be proud of ourselves.
Dear all Chinese,
Happy Chinese New Year!
Thank you!
