More people in China are choosing to stay away from their villages and families during Lunar New Year, according to Chinese national and businessman Xue Gang, 44.
“Our parents do not mind, and even my parents are currently travelling around China.
“Maybe next year I will bring them to Penang to witness the celebrations here,” he said.
Xue, who was in Malaysia’s Penang state with his wife, daughter and friends, said festive performances were no longer common to enjoy back home.
“If we want to watch performances and celebrations, we have to take a train to Shanghai, the closest major city to where we live,” he said.
“While it is nearby, it can be crowded and most of the time we skip it.”
