The Chinese Year of the Ox begins on 26th
January 2009. Also known as the Year of the Cow or Yi Chou.
We
are based in Hong Kong, where the main annual holiday is Chinese New Year.
Called "Spring Festival" in Mainland China. Lion dancers and carnivals take to
the streets and fireworks to the skies. In Mainland China many people work
inside large prosperous cities in the South East, a long way from their poor
native village homes. Over Spring Festival hundreds-of-millions commute back to
their village to be with the family. It's always a big strain on the railway
and airways, and often made worse by severe snow cutting off power lines and
runways!
People born
in the Year of the Ox are patient and inspire confidence in others. However,
they are also eccentric, bigoted, and anger easily. They have fierce tempers and
although they speak little, when they do they go wild. Ox people are mentally
and physically alert. Easy-going, but remarkably stubborn, and they hate to fail
or be opposed. The typical Ox is a tolerant person with strong character,
working hard without complaint. They know that they will succeed through
sustained efforts, and don’t believe in get-rich-quick schemes. The Ox is a
lover of stability, tradition, and a homemaker. They are most compatible with
Snake, Rooster, and Rat people.
