For the Lunar New Year, we’ve asked some of our international students who celebrate the holiday for their thoughts on this day – and wishes for the year ahead.
🇨🇳 Zhao Jiaqi, China: 愿新的一年智慧如蛇，蜕故孳新，厚积薄发！
For me, the new year is about renewal — letting go of old doubts and embracing fresh opportunities. Families gather, streets glow with lanterns, and fireworks light up the sky as we welcome prosperity and joy. May this year spark your curiosity and resilience like the snake’s wisdom. May innovation thrive in every corner, friendships grow stronger, and challenges turn into stepping stones!
🇲🇳 Gunbilig Battulga, Mongolia: Могой жилдээ аз жаргал, амжилт, хөгжил цэцэглэлтээр дүүрэн байгаарай!
In Mongolia, we celebrate Tsagaan Sar, the White Moon Festival, with big family feasts, traditional clothing, and honoring elders. It’s a time of respect, warmth, and fresh beginnings. Happy Year of the Snake! Wishing you wisdom, success, and prosperity in the year ahead.
🇻🇳 Nguyen Phuong, Vietnam: Chúc các bạn có sức khoẻ dồi dào, vạn sự như ý, an khang thịnh vượng!
Every year, my family reunites for Tết, gathering for a festive meal before heading to temples to pray for a peaceful and prosperous year. Visiting sacred places, honoring ancestors, and sharing lucky red envelopes are at the heart of our celebration. Though far from home, I’m grateful for the warm welcome from ITMO friends and professors. May this year bring you joy, health, and success!
Happy Lunar New Year from ITMO!
