HUAT AH! That's what we Chinese (Hokkiens in particular) shout as a cheer in a hope of fortune and prosperity. That was the ringing refrain as Ding Yi Music Company celebrated Chinese New Year with a traditional lohei (tossing of the raw fish / yusheng salad). Ding Yi has always had this informal celebration at the Chinese Cultural Centre, with a summary of the past year's events and highlights, and its traditional Chinese New Year concert. This year was no different.
