I showed the pictures on my phone to some Chinese students who were sitting next to me on a train. I asked them to translate the words on images I had taken of little comical characters which I had photographed in a CC (Community Centre).
I wondered whether the greetings were saying Happy Chinese New Year or whether they applied to a different festival.
The three illustrated personalities I had photographed were labelled in Chinese characters which were:
Wishing success in all you do.
Wishing you prosperity.
Wishing you health and longevity.
Angela Lansbury, travel writer and photographer, author, speaker.
