Happy CNY. Honestly this introspection into family, tradition, connection, and loneliness is so well timed in this time of year. Having returning back to the mainland for CNY after 8+ years for the first time, I definitely felt something missing even as we gathered together. The tiring of spirit, and withering of our health, and passing of loved ones as time passes weighs on the experience. It absolutely feels more 清淡 than I had imagined when I was still a kid. It's melancholic, knowing eventually this gathering of my family will grind to an halt one day, and seeing that it will never return to the glory of the past. Thanks Chef Gao for sharing your experience of the change, and it's some comfort to know that there are many here that feel the same.

I wonder if that is also true for Christmas for westerners. Especially when you have elderly in the family, you know these don’t last, and as the older generations leave, the younger one move away/doesn’t put as much emphasis on turning up, the numbers will start to dwindle down and it feels melancholy.

我小时候最烦的就是被我老爸带去乡下转来转去。所有人都说着我听不懂的方言喜笑颜开指指点点。我知道他们没有恶意，但是我总归是格格不入的。本来以为长大了没人管了，就总有自己清净的年啊节啊过了，但是回过头来发现身边没有人的话节还有什么意义呢，普普通通又一天而已已经好几年没回过国了，现在越来越sentimental。跟爹妈打视频电话，发现爹喝了点小酒，和妈两个人在家里沙发上看春晚，也是有种说不出的lonely 现在连他们也不怎么回老家了，以前牵挂多纷扰也多的时候一半是责任感驱使，现在逐渐归于平静了、肩上没那么多担了，但是却也感觉很多看不见的线慢慢的松了、散了结果我一个人在海外读书，偷偷的开始找资料学自己老家的方言，又好气又好笑。真的很想回家啊！我相信有些东西一定是刻在我们的文化基因里的，就算淡化了也不会忘却，那种connection可能在某天就自己又连接起来我也能理解高厨说的一些“使命感”一样的东西。好的意义上的人情味、烟火气，那些在我们文化基因里的东西，我相信是会生生不息的延伸下去的。害说了半天不知道自己在说什么，那就祝各位龙年大吉吧！（喂

Hi Cadence! I wish to offer unsolicited insight in the the changes of new year and the feeling of loneliness you discuss. As a central Asian (from siberia) individual, the new years I experienced growing up is very similar to yours (ours is in January western style though). I am also I think precisely the same age as you. I have found that I am the adult now- it is up to me to rally everyone under one roof and get things going. Perhaps it is up to OUR generation now to be the movers and shakers in terms of adhering to tradition.

Thank you for this video. I value traditions and try my best to keep what I grew up with. After losing my mom almost two years ago, we had to prepare Chinese New Year foods all on our own last year. It was a challenge for my sister and I. I hear you completely when you speak of how the festivities are dying. No matter how hard I try, I can’t get everyone to learn and participate. I want so much for my nieces and nephews to keep up with traditions. This year was even harder as my dad made things worse and caused a rift in the family and I was unable to celebrate with my family. Please keep spreading the traditions and keep it up as best you can. P.s. you should put the ginger and scallions on the fish and pour the oil over it which will prevent it from popping all over you.

I really enjoyed the video, and the intersection of food, family, and tradition. For my family's holiday meals, there are dishes we prepare that don't get eaten, but are made in the memory of meals passed. Teaching the kids that someday they will look back and long for a tradition that sustains them, and that it doesn't have to be hard, and it doesn't have to be full of conflict. These tradition will not be lost, as long as we teaching them, and explain why they are important. Thank you.

As a Cantonese/Hakka man, I use the sous vide and it’s fine for white cut chicken. I’ve done sous vide Chinese style chicken several times and it’s way easier than doing it the traditional way. However on a serious note I guess now putting into perspective that a good chunk of my family lives in the same city. Still ever since my grandparents passed away, we haven’t had the full family get together to celebrate Chinese new year. My aunt had the good sense to have a dim sum luncheon the next day. But I can still count myself lucky to have my parents and siblings to celebrate Chinese new year. This year I managed to learn one of my grandmas recipes that she would make every new year. If I ever have children I would like to pass on these traditions too.

The white cut chicken statement is true as a Cantonese person. For any special day, there’s always chicken. In my family, we only eat white cut chicken because I specifically don’t like soy sauce chicken as much. Now my family only knows we should never order any other chicken and white cut chicken. Except for Costco rotisserie chicken; that’s very good.

这一段视频主题是孤独了.高厨还是幸福的，小时候有经历过那一段很美好的春节的时光.我在南方城市里长大的，也是95后吧，春节也没回过自己所谓的家乡庆祝过.印象中的春节是在自己城市和爸妈逛个花市，然后和一些不熟的亲戚一起在餐厅吃年夜饭，然后回家看个春晚的小品的同时看爸妈用诺基亚手机发发贺年信息，然后等到十二点就结束了～整个过程在我小的时候几乎没有感觉到很愉悦还有兴奋，有点例行公事的样子，然后和邻里几乎是没有交集的～然后拜年的印象就更模糊了，基本都记不起来了😂.然后长大后自己在国外了，和朋友的过年也也就意思一下而已了.所以我的过年经历都未曾有过什么年味还有吵杂的气氛，春节在我这里不是dying，而是都没活过的感觉～

Happy Chinese New Year everyone. 這該不會是老陳熬夜剪出來的吧？幾乎全程英文做中國年菜，知道了不少食材跟菜名還有做法的英文，新年一開始就學習了。半熟的雞肉（帶血）有沒有問題？你想想世界上有多少廣東人吧🤣剁雞一定得用那種大菜刀，剁的咚咚咚的（傳統印象）。雞對南方人為什麼重要？因為南方的氣候適合養雞啊～家雞應該受不了太冷的天氣，如果養在北方冬天是要供暖嗎？相對來説北方適合養牛跟羊，南方人就少吃了。沒聽說南方過年桌上一定要有牛跟羊的，雞跟魚是必要的。年味愈來愈淡是真的，現在就大家在外面（年夜飯餐廳之難訂我真的想罵髒話）吃頓年夜飯，吃完所有人開始滑手機，小朋友們不是滑手機就是在打遊戲，不然就是同時滑手機跟打遊戲。電視節目又難看，沒人在看電視了。鞭炮也沒人放了，小朋友們當然更不能碰！好像我們小時候玩的各種炮，到現在的小朋友手上會炸死自己一様... 現在連過萬聖節的過節氣氛都比過年的來得重，聖誕節更是大節日（雖然絕大部份人都不信教，另外我有認識的信教的朋友說他們不過聖誕節，因為聖經沒寫耶蘇是那天誕生）。吃年夜飯，已經變成唯二的過年儀式了（另一個是發紅包......）

低溫煮白切鷄上海地區白斬鷄連鎖店的商業做法都是這樣，會有一個很大的不鏽鋼“池”，在裏面煮一大堆雞。手起刀落才不會有一對碎骨，那會非常影響口感。另外鷄皮黃是本地土雞種的特徵（當然和飼料與生長周期有一定關係），雞要有雞味。白羽雞沒有我們需要的“雞味”。

Im born 82, i had the tradition cny growing up even im born in Malaysia as cny cukture is still heavy here, however recent years ive stop attending reunion since my granpa passed away, cos family drama just gets worse each year n i grew so tired of repeating the same, especially i m attending the first day 初一开年 anyway with same people. Does it feel lonely? In contrary i feel that being surrounded with people i dont enjoy celebrating that makes it feels even more lonelier even with their presence. Like u said everyone is having their own life n living their own box, n it doesnt feel like a celebration when the friction to come together for a “reunion”. I guess the problem is not whether the culture is lost, but the true value of the celebration is lost. But i do, throw a small dinner session with friends n im happy enough, i seriously think over centuries chinese been keeping a tradition n yet the true value had been forgotten. Anyway dont worry not feeling very sad, i guess we all hav different perspectives when we reach different phase of our life. Happy Chinese New Year to CG n everyone at magpie (of course charlie too)

He's not wrong. It is excuricating. I'm not Chinese but SEA, born and raised in America. My mother's huge family is still in SEA. I have a few cousins and 1 aunt in the US... but we are no where near each other and don't really keep close relations. My dad is gone. My mother is older. I'm an Only child and myself have not live near our community since I left for college. The older I get the more I realize how lonely it is. Feels like a part of me is missing... and that's my culture. There is something so beautiful about being back in Asia during festival times and how much my mom's entire family gathers together ALWAYS and how the village also gathers together to celebrate. While here in the West... its very lonely. Alot of communities still celebrate together but... after our elders pass away and its the first and second generations who are use to living a more isolated lifestyle that is in the West..... Alot of these celebrations are disappearing. If I have any children... they will never get to experience what I did. Its very depressing.

這集讓我想到小時候，大家除夕當天中午陸陸續續回到阿公阿嬤家，阿嬤和阿姨姑姑們在廚房忙進忙出，叔叔姑丈和阿公在喝酒敘舊，親戚小孩們街上嬉戲玩鬧，晚上大家總擠在那張一定擠不下的小圓桌，地下放的燒炭的暖爐一起吃著年夜團圓飯敘舊閒聊，飯後大家再一起拜年領紅包玩煙火，最後藉著守歲的名義和親戚狂打電動直到累了睡著。但隨著阿嬤的年紀越來越大，每年的年菜一道道的減少，有些菜色根本在外面都沒辦法再吃到，只能慢慢存於回憶中，沒有到特別美味但就是會讓人想再嚐一次，親戚們最後也都漸漸沒在過年相聚。小時候的我沒辦法理解，為什麼不能待在家裡吃一吃就好，一定要大費周章聚在一起，現在真的只剩下父母這輩的年夜飯，雖然溫馨，但隨著年紀每次過年都多少會開始懷念那種熱鬧的氛圍，還有那些又油又鹹又甜的大魚大肉，多少還是會感到有些寂寞。祝大家新年快樂，生體健康!

As a Cantonese from the States this has explained so much to me. Why people in my family are obsessed with poached chicken, why Chinese New Year is a day that has so much more meaning to older generations and not a lot to many ABCs, even ones from densely populated Chinese areas. Getting dinner with your family (even with red envelopes) doesn't feel that celebratory, but I guess I should consider myself lucky because one day this isn't going to exist. What you call "the process of the tradition" is closer to what I do for Thanksgiving/Christmas. It's so surprising to see that this is dying out even in China. So I guess this fantasy I have of going somewhere where they really celebrate CNY may not be real.

As a Malaysian I really feel blessed that we still see CNY as a very important day to get together (the only time everyone will be together). Firecrackers and eating non stop. I pity those who spend CNY like any other normal days. Those who go travelling during CNY must have not much family members left....this has something to do with modern city, less people wanna have family/ kids.

As a mid 80s kid, now in my late 30s living my day to day outside of China. CNY is definitely a bittersweet time of the year where the immediate family gets together for some quality time, but the aftertaste of loneliness soon follows after; with the knowledge that those days as a kid in Guang Zhou where 3 generations of a family gather under one roof - Grand parent, uncles, aunties, cousins, etc.. even cousins that spoke a different dialect and you carry on somehow. You pretend to be good and respectful to the elders for most of the day, collect your red envelopes then fuck off with the cousins that are closest in age as you to blow shit up, will never be again. Somehow I doubt I'm alone in this experience and that there are others out there that feel the same. With that said, there's no reason why we can't adopt new faces into the family and create new traditions that will carry on the memories of the old ones. Biggest reason I've started to cook more and rediscover flavors that I used to cherish and hold dear... Stay good to each other folks. Happy year of the dragon.

In your 30s you will surely feel like this. But as you grow older and have more people to be responsible for, be it family, friends or workmates, it is then this tradition comes alive and serves it's purpose. When you bring joy, togetherness, companionship, food and laughter to others, this is the meaning of Chinese New Year. Xin Nian Kuai Le everyone!

families are also smaller, less racous and extended family gatherings are sometimes reminders of those who have passed on.

Depends on who you are. Like there's a saying, "If you're rich, you can celebrate new year everyday". Me on the other hand, I only earn enough for a living. So my Chinese New year is only watching other people celebrating CNY while I'm working.

The tradition is dying simply because we don't have the time for very labour intensive meal prep. My family is getting smaller and smaller as our parents, grandparents die out. I didn't realize what was being lost until people died and took their recipes with them. Sad reflections aside, it's time to start new traditions. Get together with friends if your family is too far away. Go to a restaurant for dinner and celebrate being together with people you care about. Happy New Year! Light a few fire crackers for those of us who live in places that ban firecrackers. But try not to scare the local dogs.
