Happy Chinese New Year--The Year of the Pig

[Donald]

My daughter messaged me from Beijing wishing me a happy new year. It's a huge holiday in China. Work stops or is on a low priority for a week. Many people go back to their families, so trains are packed and airports are extra busy.

One year my daughter sent be a video of the fireworks in Beijing. It's crazy. She was in her early twenties then, and thought it was all cool. Now she's mid-thirties and it's become just background noise.

It's the Year of the Pig, a year of prosperity, generally.
