Hong Kong-Lunar-New Year

A performer providing a lion dance for a restaurant as part of celebrations of the Chinese lunar new " year of the sheep" plays around with a customer having his lunch in Hong Kong on February 23, 2015. Fortune tellers in Hong Kong said that the Year of the Sheep should be calmer in general than the previous Year of the Horse, which was characterised by catastrophic international air accidents, brutal terror attacks, global political upheaval, a resurgent Ebola virus and war.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and lively print captured by Philippe Lopez, the spirit of the Chinese Lunar New Year comes to life in Hong Kong. The image showcases a performer engaging in a traditional lion dance for a restaurant as part of the festive celebrations marking the "Year of the Sheep". As diners enjoy their lunch, one customer playfully interacts with the lion dancer, creating an atmosphere filled with joy and excitement. The Year of the Sheep is predicted to bring about a sense of calmness compared to its predecessor, characterized by unfortunate events around the world. Fortune tellers in Hong Kong have foreseen a more peaceful year ahead after experiencing catastrophic air accidents, brutal terror attacks, political unrest on a global scale, resurgent Ebola virus outbreaks, and wars during the previous Year of Horse. This photograph encapsulates not only cultural traditions but also highlights how people come together during this auspicious time. It serves as a reminder that amidst all challenges faced globally; there is always room for celebration and unity. The interior view of this bustling restaurant provides an intimate glimpse into daily life during these festivities. Philippe Lopez's skillful composition captures both tradition and modernity while showcasing moments that are often overlooked or forgotten. This offbeat snapshot perfectly encapsulates the essence of Chinese New Year celebrations in Hong Kong - vibrant colors, dynamic performances, and shared experiences that bring communities closer together.
