The year 2020 is The Year of the Rat and each animal within the Chinese Zodiac will have a year dedicated to them once every 12 years within each cycle.
Chinese New Year is a wonderful time for Chinese people all around the world to celebrate together and a great way to start the year. Happy New Year everyone!
