The Chinese New Year is arriving in a few hours, ushering in the Year of the Rabbit. In the Chinese tradition, rabbits are considered a symbol of vigor, wisdom, peace, prosperity and longevity. 2023 is predicted to be a year of hope.

In the last year, Chinese people from all walks of life shined their dazzling rays of light through the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Year of the Rabbit promises to be better. China's economy will make bigger strides and contribute more to world economic recovery. People have great determination to create a better future with joint efforts.

We hope the bunnies will bring you the goodness they represent and wish you a happy Chinese New Year!
