Mark: Xiaoshi, what are you writing with that Chinese brush?
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.
Mark: You used red paper to represent joy. Does the word chun mean that spring is coming?
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.
Xiaoshi: That’s right! And the character man [full] is often stuck on the refrigerator to pray for enough food in the New Year.
Mark: This is so interesting. I want to learn to write these words, too!

Have you ever found yourself desperately feeding coins into a claw machine just because you’ve already spent so much trying to win that stuffed animal? Or maybe you’ve continued watching a boring movie simply because you already paid for the ticket?
