Welcoming the Year of the Pig (Boar)

Chinese New Year

A shopping mall uses reddish decorations with golden pigs to welcome the Year of the Pig.

Chinese Zodiac is the divination of the future from the Chinese calendar, particularly its 12-year cycle of animals. The Chinese believe each individual personality is associated with an animal which represents it.

The person born in the "year of the pig" is usually an honest, straightforward and patient person. He/she is a modest, shy character who prefers to work quietly behind the scenes. When others despair, he/she is often there to offer support.
