People across the world, across races and cultures enjoying Chinese New Year together

 People of the world can come together and celebrate and share their joy as one people in festivities. Without the politicians inciting division and hatred, the people of the world can enjoy each others culture freely and happily, with warmth, friendship and understanding. People in general are happy, like to be happy and have fun.

Below are just a few clips of Chinese New Year Celebration In Liverpool, Vancouver, London, Milan and Helsinki. You will see the Europeans showing their skills in lion and dragon dances and parading in ancient Chinese costumes with their Chinese friends.


Jan 23, 2023 今日在 Berry Street 附近睇咗一陣 Dragon Parade,目測 有八九成本地人參加觀看。 有舞龍舞獅放炮仗,好有氣氛。當中舞龍的健兒大部分係非華人,舞獅表演的鼓手也是本地人。 途中有一檔賣應節貨品:花炮、小舞獅玩具、一條好似玩貓用的“龍”型毛毛玩具,小朋友玩得最開心。 放炮仗都算幾大陣仗,有三四個“軍火專家”專門處理在鐵籠內的長條炮仗,安全又唔會爆到周圍都係。 下年有時間可以去睇下感受下傳統華人過年的氣氛。 p.s. 長知識,學英文: firecrackers - 炮仗 Lucky Man - 大頭佛 Dargon and Unicorn Parade 舞龍舞獅 martial arts DEMO 武術表演

I am honestly glad that Chinese in China are still following their heritage and are not easily falling prey by propaganda like the Native American Indians and Aborigines centuries ago.

The Whites tried the same propaganda in China and India, attempting colonisation, using religion to convert them, but failed and China and India did not became the victims of genocide and leading to losing their land.

Sure, Westerners can call these long standing traditions as 'superstition', but as LKY said - "it has given them comfort for thousands of years". And LKY also added this very telling remark - "Who is to say that what is in the Bible is not superstition". This video is still on Youtube, titled "Lee Kuan Yew on religious tolerance". Do watch it.
