Chap Goh Meh, then and now

Thay says young women take part in the throwing of mandarin oranges as a way of proclaiming love to someone or to ask for blessings to find themselves a good partner.

CHAP Goh Meh is today but many youths are left uninformed about the festival’s origins and how the well-known festivities came to surface in their family.

Passed down through generations, little do people know of the origins and background of the event celebrated by the Chinese today.
