These activities aimed to foster creativity, cultural appreciation, and a sense of community as we look forward to the year ahead.<\/p>\n<p>The festivities began with an engaging Rubbing Art Workshop, where participants created their own festival rubbings using templates featuring the lucky character \u201c\u798f\u201d (Fu, meaning \u201cgood fortune\u201d in Chinese) alongside other auspicious phrases.\u00a0 This hands-on activity provided an opportunity for students and staff to express their artistic talents while deepening their connection to the rich cultural heritage of Chinese New Year.<\/p>\n<p>To further share the festive spirit, the Programme Offices prepared special red gift boxes for our students and instructors. Each gift box was filled with thoughtfully selected snacks and a personalised handwritten note \u2500 a small yet meaningful gesture to convey our collective wishes for health, happiness, success, and resilience in the coming year.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Year of the Horse!
