ASOS Men’s suit

Happy Lunar New Year! I remember how disappointed I was last year when the Lunar New Year parade was cancelled in Chinatown; before our lives fully changed. This year it feels really important to me to not let go of certain traditions that my sister and I were raised with thanks to our Chinese mom. I have very vivid memories of Chinatown as a child during the parade, dressed in not brand new clothing, but our best dresses, and I was always very frightened of yet intrigued by the dragons doing the Dragon Dance. The way the drum beat heavy in me still stays with me today, but I remember feeling better after receiving a red packet of money to buy Snap Pops with and a red bean bun right afterwards. We won’t be fully reuniting with family as tradition this year, but my sister and I will be cooking Chinese food at home and being grateful for this time together and for our health. To me, that’s the best sort of luck.
