Gathering for a meal with loved ones is a classic holiday tradition, but this Lunar New Year will be different. Eating with loved ones is a central part of Lunar New Year, as millions make the long journey home each holiday season to gather at the table with friends and family. While this is normally the world’s largest annual migration of people, this year many are choosing to celebrate remotely due to the ongoing pandemic. Wherever you’re celebrating, our Host James Chau and The China Current hope you can enjoy a meal with someone you love and wish you a Happy Lunar New Year!

Billions across the globe will celebrate Lunar New Year this week. While many will travel home to visit their loved ones, others will celebrate remotely, making the best of this challenging time. Our Host James Chau and The China Current wish you a safe and happy Lunar New Year.

It’s been one year since the world’s first lockdown, when 60 million people in the Chinese epicenter and nearby areas in Hubei province retreated to their homes. From January 23 to April 8, 2020, many of them did not step outside their doors. Today, one year later, we look back on our tribute story to the frontline workers who continued to serve their fellow human beings.
