7 Things You Can Do For Your Parents This Chinese New Year



Chinese New Year is an important time for celebration that is filled with similar customs dated back thousands of years, from honouring ancestors to cleaning house to colourful parades. During this time also the children will pay respect to their parents and elders who have been raising them up today as they are.

Have you ever thought what to do this year to show your love to your parents? Of course you do, and our few suggestions here might match yours.

Going home 


Chinese New Year symbolizes reunion and togetherness. If you have not been celebrating with your parents for the past years, perhaps you should this year. Having children by side during special festivals are always the best wish comes true for parents.

parents when you are with them

House cleaning

In addition, give them a surprise by going home a few days earlier to help them clean the home or da sao chu; dust and refresh the furniture, sweep the floor, scrub the window and even some repainting. Some believe that children who da sao chu will increase the longevity of parents.

Yearly vacations

Depending on your budget, overseas or local ones are fine, as long as they get to enjoy their life on your expenses. And to make sure they do, pay all accommodation, transportation, food expenses for them, including spending money. 

Vacationing together tightens the bonds between
parents and children

Pay for their living expenses

You might not realize, your parents have been reserving the best for you all these years, all at free cost for you. Perhaps they won’t ask, but offering to cover their expenses like phone and electric bills or even fuel from now on assures that you will be taking care of them. 

Offering to pay for parents is a filial way
to tell them you cared for them

Take care of their health

As your parents grow older, they might need all sorts of supplements to maintain their well being. In Chinese culture, teas and herbs such as gingko, ginseng and cordyceps are part of nutrition diets that you can consider to buy for your parents.

for you all these years

Bring your other half

Nothing makes your parents more relieved than knowing you have found the right person to love and being loved. Thus, if you are sure he or she is the one, bring them home this festival and introduce to your parents.
