Welcome to the Chinese Stories Podcast! 🎧 What’s small, red, and makes every Chinese child’s heart race on New Year’s Eve? It’s the Red Envelope (红包 - Hóngbāo)! Today, Li Ming (李明) and Xiao Yu (小雨) present the tradition of "Hongbao" and the art of Chinese New Year greetings.

Essential Greetings: Master the most important phrases from the basic "Xīn Nián Kuài Lè" to the ambitious "Gōng Xǐ Fā Cái" for different social situations. The Secret Code of Numbers: Why you should love the number 8 and 6, but steer clear of the number 4 when filling an envelope. The Digital Revolution: How WeChat Red Envelopes turned a centuries-old tradition into a viral, high-speed mobile game.
