-------- Original Message -------- Subject: PSGSA Celebrates Chinese New Year of the Dragon! Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:33:06 -0600 From: K Podolsky <umpodolk(a)cc.umanitoba.ca> To: Bev Godard <Bev_Godard(a)umanitoba.ca> * *PSGSA-CHINESE SPRING FESTIVAL CELEBRATION!* *Happy New Year of the Dragon! **?????**(Lóng nián kuài le!)* The Dragon is magnificent. In China, the Dragon is the imperial symbol, the sign of the emperor. The Dragon is also synonymous with power and wealth. The Dragon falls on the following years: 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, and 2012. It is said that people born in the year of the Dragon carry a natural charisma and are gifted with power and luck. They are egoistical and ambitious, almost to the point of megalomania, and will stop at nothing to get what they want. They can be successful as actors, singers, bankers, financiers, politicians, pharmacists and quite comfortable in the place of many other professions. Some famous people born in the year of the Dragon are Bruce Lee (1940), Florence Nightingale (1820), Paul Allen (1952), and Friedrich Nietzsche (1844). You can try to say the following words to your Chinese friend: *?????**(X?n nián kuài lè!) Happy New Year!* *????**(Guò nián h?o!) Happy New Year!* *?????**(G?ng x? f? cái!) I wish You Great Prosperity!* *?????**(Lóng nián jí xiáng!) Good Luck in the Year of the Dragon!* /_We are going to order Chinese food to celebrate Chinese Spring Festival._/ /_If you would like to join, please sign up before Thursday._/ *_Time:_**Thursday (Jan 26) 4:30 pm **_Location_**: Graduate Student Lounge _Cost:_$5.00 for students, $10.00 for non-students _ _*Sign-up sheets are located in grad student offices, grad lounge and 2nd floor next to printer room. See you there! **Thanks Lingwei for putting together this informative poster!*
