Greetings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the New Year starts, everything is refreshed and revitalized<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u4e00\u5e74\u4f0a\u59cb, \u842c\u8c61\u66f4\u65b0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me start by wishing everyone a prosperous and healthy New Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 marks the Year of the Rabbit in the Lunar Chinese Calendar. Rabbit is a symbol of fortune, health, energy, fertility and gentleness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would like to share with you my New Year Resolution inspired by the characteristics and traits of a rabbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To have long ears like a rabbit to enable us to hear from near and far; to be empathetic and compassionate to others\u2019 needs;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To have red eyes , not from working overnight, but from opening our eyes wide  to see what is happening in the world ;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To have good health , energy and quickness in response. Quoted : Moving like a running rabbit \u201c\u52d5\u82e5\u8131\u5154\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it is not a bad idea to adopt a vegetarian diet like that of a rabbit\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, I would like to conclude with the idiom\u201d a rabbit crossing your path\u201d . I sincerely wish that you all see this rabbit crossing your path bringing you good luck and a positive change in your lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HKUAAO is here to serve, facilitate and communicate with our alumni in Ontario.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n
