Gong Xi Fa Cai - Wish Everyone Progress, Good Luck and Fortune on the Chinese New Year
How are you our compatriots,
In just two days, the welcoming Chinese New Year will arrive. A period of one year is so short. Not long from then comes the Khmer New Year in April. These days, the Cambodians of Chinese descents are growing in number and well off too.
Usually, for every Chinese New Year, the Cambodians are also joyous as a saying goes "the Chinese celebrate New Year, the Cambodians have so much to drink." However, please do not bring harm to yourselves because of joys, especially on the coming incense burning day.
A Happy New Year - Gong Xi Fa Cai - to the Cambodians of Chinese lineages and wish our compatriots progress, good luck and fortune in the coming new year.
Thank You, Peace.
