Xiaoshi: I am writing the character chun [spring].
Mark: That looks interesting. Are you preparing for Lunar New Year?
Xiaomi: Yes, I will put this up at home as a prayer for good luck.

Xiaomi: Yes, in addition to chun, fu [bliss] is another commonly used word during Lunar New Year.
Mark: Is “blessing” the same as fu? I guess you wish good luck in the new year.

Mark: This is so interesting. I want to learn to write these words, too!

★ Bilingual Story is a fictionalized account. 雙語故事部分內容純屬虛構。 Kevin leaned over the bubbling pot. “Hey. . . are you okay? You’ve barely touched your food.” Zoey blinked. Her face was red — not from blushing, but from the “mala” spice and the heat of the room. Her blond hair clumped to her face like strands of fine spaghetti.
