Yangon,
Gu's Calligraphy and Painting Shop.
It's the weekend, another rest day when there's no need to visit the Great Golden Pagoda.
Gu Weijing opened the top drawer of his bedroom cabinet and poured all the red envelopes onto the bed.
Today, he contacted a welfare institution for a visit, and before going, he planned to prepare some gifts for the children there.
He intended to tally all the New Year's money he had saved over the years.
Just like most places in the Asian cultural sphere influenced by Huaxia, Yangon also considers giving children New Year's money.
Moreover, it's not just one red envelope but two.
The first is given on New Year's Eve, which is a regular red envelope.
The second is on the eighth day of the New Year. After celebrating with neighborhood businesses on the same street as Gu's Calligraphy and Painting Store, he says some auspicious words, and typically, children receive a small gold coin in a red envelope called the "Opening Fortune."
