The Lion Dance
These lions are dancing through the streets
of Chinatown, dodging exploding firecrackers. They dance to the
banging of cymbals and the beating of drums manned by various Kung Fu
academies. They help scare away the evil spirits from businesses,
restaurants, banks, and family associations, and they bring good wishes
to the establishments. In turn, the lions are given donations of good
luck money, lai see, to the local Chinese Hospital and other Chinese
charities.
