A new perspective on family and reunions (and proof that a C6 in Higher Chinese can still take you places).

Chinese New Year is one of the most time-honoured festivals for Singaporeans.
But even such a festival has seen its traditions, form and meaning evolve over time: why we gather (or not at all), who we choose to cramp elbow-to-elbow around the reunion dinner table with, and how we usher in the new year.

As Singapore geared up for another Chinese New Year, we took the opportunity to celebrate the beauty and warmth of relationships, and the resilience and inclusiveness of a community that characterises the nation, and in doing so, created the top-performing festive film in recent years.

(This one’s for you too, Ding Ni 老师. And in true C6 fashion, I still have no clue how her name’s written.)

The film made more than a couple of regional ‘Best of CNY’ lists…

…and even moved the man with the magic teacup.

(Fun fact: It’s not a given for our ministers to share the work!)
