A GROUP of men with a bond to traditional Chinese culture wore their God of Prosperity costumes once again after two years of pared-down Chinese New Year celebrations.

The men from the Chaoyi Teochew Puppet and Opera Cultural Troupe used to make appearances as the God of Prosperity to spread cheer every year before the Covid-19 pandemic struck.
