Chinese nationals residing in Kano State are currently celebrating their country’s traditional new year.
Reports indicate that the Chinese New Year, or the Spring Festival is a festival that celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar.
Kano State played host to a unique celebration of Chinese New Year, where Wu Qun, popularly known as “Tea Master,” highlighted the growing cultural and economic ties between Nigeria and China.
Speaking passionately about his love for Kano and its people, Wu Qun expressed gratitude for the warm hospitality he has experienced since moving to the city.
“People here are very nice, and they have strong faith. I want more Chinese people to come to this place because Kano holds a special place in my heart,” he said.
Wu Qun praised the development efforts in the state, noting the improved infrastructure and leadership. “The roads being built show how much Kano has changed for the better. It makes me happy to see the city thriving and people helping each other.”
Reflecting on the significance of the Chinese New Year, Wu Qun described it as a time for family reunions and cultural celebration. “In China, families come together during this season, celebrating with performances, fireworks, and traditional dinners. It’s a way to honor our history and look forward to a prosperous year ahead,” he explained.
Wu Qun emphasized the importance of fostering cultural understanding between China and Nigeria. He pointed to the increasing number of Nigerians studying and doing business in China as evidence of the strong ties between the two nations.
“This relationship is growing not just at the government level but also among the people,” he added.
As the Chinese New Year celebrations bring both cultures together, Wu Qun hopes for continued collaboration, mutual understanding, and prosperity for both nations.
