01:11luck, happiness, and prosperity.

02:27Before the celebration,

02:29there is a tradition

02:31that the Chinese

02:33give respect and gratitude.

02:35Before they eat,

02:37they bow to their Buddha,

02:39to their God,

02:41so that the food

02:43will be with the spirits.

02:45Then they will eat their food.

02:47For every dish and preparation,

02:49we not only celebrate

02:51the new year,

02:53but also the traditions

02:55that are part of our past,

02:57present, and future.
