Today is the 7th day of Chinese New Year. In Chinese Lunar calendar, it is also called " Ren Ri " meaning that it is birthday for everyone in the world. As usual, chinese people will go to " Lao sheng" at restaurants and they have to book with the restaurants few days before this day arrive. It is because there will be crowded in the restaurants as " Lao Sheng" also means "earn a lot like wind and water throughout the year ".
There is a restaurant at downstairs of my office. As usual, i went to take my lunch there as it is the nearest and i don't to go far away to have my lunch in a hot and stuffy day. When i stepped into the restaurant, the waitress told me that they are only opening for booking customers today. I wondered why and what is the special day. Lastly my colleague informed me that today is "Ren Ri" , it is a good day for Chinese people to go for " Lao Sheng ". Haha.. Chinese people always trust in " Lao Sheng" and believed that it will bring luck and prosperity to them. Well, some people will only go for " lao Sheng" with family or friends this weekend, as today is the working day unless they go with their colleague during lunch time.
