STATEMENT FROM MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO ON LUNAR NEW YEAR.


   "I wish all those celebrating across the Asian diaspora a happy and healthy Lunar New Year. As the proud city of immigrants, we cherish every opportunity to come together and embrace our city’s rich heritage. That is why we made Lunar New Year an official school holiday. While we celebrate on a Saturday this year, we hope everyone is able to share this special time with their loved ones. Happy year of the rooster, a symbol of hard work and diligence.”

我祝願所有慶祝農曆新年的亞裔人士新年快樂和健康。在這個令人自豪的移民城市,我們珍惜每一個讓大家一起迎接本市豐富傳統的機會。這就是我們爲什麽把農曆新年定為一個正式的學校假日。我們今年是在一個星期六慶祝這個節日,我們希望每一個人都能與其親人共度這個特別的時光。雄雞是刻苦努力的象徵,祝大家雞年愉快!
