All you need is love!

After 'Western' New Year, Chinese New Year is coming soon.

In particular, unmarried people are looking forward to it, probably because of 'lai see'.

But events happening recently show that some other thing is more important when we celebrate the big festival.

The weather has been 'extremely' cold these days in Hong Kong. The situation is worse in mainland. Many people can't go back to their hometowns and wait anxiously in the train stations. They have to stand for hours, shivering in the cold air, without enough clothes or food. It may be hopeless for most of them to go home and reunite with their families. Luckily, some of them have caring employers who let them stay in their hostels and provide them with food and even entertainment.

The quick spread via the Internet of some pornographic photos 'featuring' female stars has become another hottest news topic in the city. While it is understood that many people are curious about the photos, we should also try to understand the hard feelings of the involved idols who are also human and definitely feel very upset by the incident. While some newspapers keep posting parts of the photos every day to attract readers, I appreciate some other newspapers which don't follow and just report the news/ photos with words. The editors probably still care about what the artists feel and regard conscientiousness and love more important than publication copies and money.

When we think more, we will realize it is not so cold if we care about others and do not turn to be 'cold-blooded'. Chinese New Year is a happy festival because of love among family members/ relatives, but not the money inside the red packets. The society will be a better one if there is more love among people, but not a higher Hang Seng Index.
