TODAY is the seventh day of the world’s grandest and noisiest festival celebrated by 1.4 billion people throughout the world — Chinese New Year.

Traditionally, the Chinese people, no matter where they are, literally drop everything they are doing and return home to celebrate the auspicious occasion with their families. They must be home in time for the family reunion dinner on the festival’s eve.
