From ancient times, chinese people like to start the year with Good fortune/Good luck. Thus, tradition such as giving out红包（redpocket）that brings luck to the receiver is widely practiced.
For us, Anvil Business Club started the chinese new year with a gathering at the 鸿运火锅（Lucky Hotpot）, "which might bring goodluck to us" at G/F of NexgenTower, which coincidentally situated at the building of our Honorary Chairman Jeffrey Ng.
There were a total of 112 members and guests attended the event. We started the night with three cultural performances. 1. The lion dance, which is believed to bring good luck and scares away bad elements. 2. 长嘴茶艺壶表演 （chinese kungfu tea show）, which is said to be originated from 四川Sichuan during Sung Dynasty。 3. 变脸表演 （face off in 四川sichuan opera）, the performer changing his mask/face multiple times during the performance.
