AS the new Chinese ambassador to Malaysia, I was lucky to spend my first CNY in this country with friends from all sectors and was deeply impressed by the experience.

CNY in Malaysia is full of festive atmosphere with lanterns and coloured lights everywhere. The shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur looked magnificent with CNY decorations featuring Chinese cultural elements. In one mall, I saw some middle school students writing Chinese New Year couplets. I was excited at seeing an old Malay man with a little girl buying a pair of the couplets.
