"China's Youth Navigate Lunar New Year Amid Economic Struggles"

Many young Chinese are opting out of the traditional Lunar New Year family reunion due to economic hardships, unemployment, and family pressure. The country's slowing economy, exacerbated by government crackdowns on private enterprises and a declining real estate market, has left many feeling uncertain about their future. Some, like Yuwen and Qingfeng, are unemployed and struggling to find stable employment, while others, like Xiaoba, are avoiding family pressure to get married and settle down. As a result, many young people are choosing to spend the holiday alone or with friends, reflecting a broader trend of declining marriage rates and a shrinking population in China.

"Unleashing Dragon Energy: A Guide to Lunar New Year Celebrations"

The San Francisco Chinese New Year Festival and Parade, one of the largest Lunar New Year celebrations in the U.S., added the term "Lunar New Year" to its title in 1986 to reflect inclusivity and diversity within the Asian community. This move has united various cultural celebrations like Vietnamese Tet and Korean Seollal under one umbrella term. While the use of "Lunar New Year" acknowledges different cultural celebrations, it also raises questions about maintaining cultural integrity. The umbrella term has grown in recognition in the U.S., but communities and organizations are left with the responsibility of carving out their own celebrations. Experts believe there is space for both individual cultural celebrations and a unified Lunar New Year.
