Happy New Year 兔 You

Gong Xi Fa Cai - Congratulations! You've struck it rich!

It’s the year of the Chinese Zodiac Rabbit and 兔 (which is the character symbolising RABBIT) is pronounced “tu”. So Happy New Year TO you!

Funny phrase Chinese people say to each other during the Lunar New Year is “Gong Xi Fa Cai” (gong hei fatt choi in my mother tongue). It literally means CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve discovered some wealth!

How weird.
