We welcome Lion Dance on 11 February 2019 as it was the first day working day after 2019 Lunar New Year holiday break.

All employees are pleased and excited to see the lion movements which match the music played by drum and cymbal.

In Chinese traditional beliefs, the loud music, along with the firecrackers and lion movements, are used to scare away “evil spirits” so that good luck and fortune will follow.

Dog Year 1st Working Day 开工大吉

19 Feb 2018 marked the new year opening with traditional Lion Dance and new outlook / cloths on everybody.

The climax of the Lion Dance is the “Cai Qing” or ‘Picking the Green’ session. The green refers to vegetable leaves which are tied to a piece of red string together with a red packet. The string is hung above the door frame for the lion to pluck the green and the red packet.

Lying on the floor the leaves are ‘chewed’ by the lion while the musicians play a dramatic rolling crescendo. The lull is broken as the lion explodes back into activity, spitting out the leaves.

This is a symbol of blessing by the lion, with the spitting out of the leaves signifying an abundance, prosperous and fruitful year ahead.
