First of all, he’d be the best Airbnb guest you’d ever want.

They say Chinese New Year is best when everyone receives money in those red envelopes, but it’s so much more than that.

The video production team over at DynastyStyle shows us how it feels to celebrate Chinese New Year all the time. The short film, featuring Danny Zenith and Arthur Luk as two roomies trying to get along, is definitely something to celebrate over. It’s the year of the Monkey so even the Monkey King, played by Izzy Man, gets a creepy cameo.

Fun fact: they shot this short entirely on the day that Brooklyn got covered in two feet of snow.

Chinese New Year, an on-going celebration for 23 days, includes lions, dragons, parades, gifts, and more oranges than Florida. Celebrating comes with it’s stipulations: you gotta clean the house (time to cash in those TaskRabbit vouchers), you’re not allowed to cut your hair or shave (might be a problem AMIRITE LADIES) , and you have to eat tons of food and decorate your house to show prosperity, luck, and wealth. This is also the time of the year to surround yourself in red and play loud drums and cymbals since the New Year story began with the ancient mythical monster Nian, who was supposedly scared of the color red, fireworks, and loud noises and probably avoided Brooklyn altogether.

Arthur Luk, who plays Chinese New Year in the short, shares: “The Lunar New Year to me is a time when people can come celebrate and learn about the deep and rich culture of our people. It’s one of the few days where its cool to be Asian! And my character reflects how happy we are to share with the rest of society.”

People simply go into unhappiness believing they turn to be of low value merely as they are not able to satisfy their partners, then purchase generic levitra browse around content they lack self respect.
Another fun fact: those born in the year of the Monkey will find great unexpected fortune, which is of course the best kind of fortunes I always say.

So spread some good mojo this year of the Monkey and have tons of oranges for us.  Don’t mind me as I’ll be sipping on some OJ (preferably with Vodka) and counting my red envelopes until I get all that good luck coming to me.
