Spring Festival is a cherished occasion both in China and Singapore. In Singapore, it is a public holiday, reflecting the official recognition of Chinese culture. During this festival, families in both countries gather to enjoy a reunion dinner. People also decorate their homes with red lanterns and spring couplets. These common practices not only uphold cultural heritage but also strengthen the bond among the global Chinese community.
