A Tsinoy friend advised me years ago to refrain from the crass materialistic "kung hei fat choy" New Year Greeting that was easy to remember as: "Hey you! Fat boy!"
I could not remember nor pronounce the elegant, classical Chinese New Year greeting I was taught so even before the pandemic I have been using 笑口常开 (xiào kǒu cháng kāi) a greeting that hopes that we smile and laugh more in the coming year.
