Chinese New Year: February 1, 2022
Press Release Number CB22-SFS.011
Note: This SFS focuses on the Chinese New Year as celebrated in China and by Chinese people around the world. Other Asian countries may have similar New Year celebrations or celebrate the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival.
From the Library of Congress, Chinese Immigration:
“The Chinese experience in America began with dreams of gold, as legends of instant wealth in California lured hopeful adventurers across the Pacific Ocean. Those dreams soon lost their luster, though; these sojourners found mostly hard times and persecution, and scrambled to survive in a strange country.
“Only through decades of struggle, isolation, and slow progress were Chinese Americans able to find a secure place in the life of the nation. Today, though, a new surge of growth and cultural vitality promises to transform the Chinese American community, and to reshape American life for future generations.”
