Too often in the past 24 months festivals and celebrations were cancelled. In HK we are spoiled for Chinese festivals with their colour, stories, special foods, lions and of course gongs. They mark the passing of seasons, add richness to our lives and by acknowledging them we pass on traditions and customs while making memories for the next generation. I wonder if our collective memory will have the capacity to reboot these festivities that form our cultural quilts. And if so when.
Holidays and traditions are rooted in history and tradition. Whitney Stewart

The greatness of a culture can be found in its festivals. Siddarth Katragadda
