【大纪元1月23日讯】衷心祝愿大纪元时报的全体同仁和各位读者新年吉祥，来年昌盛发达。
明年是猴年，这是个幸运的属相， 猴子能抓住和利用好一切机会，我们应向猴子一样，抓住生活赋予我们的一切机会：其实，这就是幸运和成功的真谛。
常言道：年初的起步就能预示整年的成果。时值岁末，我们吃着会带来好运的食物，穿上会带来好运的红衣，把家里里里外外打扫干净，把秽物全都扫出门去，迎接新年的来临。
更别忘了打开我们的心胸，把所有苦难和遗憾都清除出去。
让我们以开阔的胸怀走进猴年，尽享新年带给我们的幸福和繁荣！
并送上最美好的祝愿。
Greeting from Hong Lim MP
I should like to wish all Epoch’s staff and readers my best wishes for a lucky and prosperous Chinese New Year.
This coming year is the Year of the Monkey, a lucky creature, well able to make the most of opportunities that present themselves to him.
Just like the Monkey, we need to seize the opportunities that life presents to us: this is the true essence of luck and success in life!
As we all know, how we begin the year predicts the way the rest of the year will turn out. At this time of year, we eat lucky food, wear lucky red clothes and clean our houses from top to bottom to get rid of any bad luck before the New Year begins.
We should also remember to open our hearts and minds, and cleanse them of any bitterness or regrets.
Let’s all approach the New Year with an open heart and an open mind so that we can enjoy a happy and prosperous Year of the Monkey!
With very best wishes from Hong Lim MP
State Member of Parliament for Clayton
