Happy New Year, the Celestial Empire!

On January 25 the most densely populated country of the world – People’s Republic of China marks the New Year - Year of the White Metal Rat. The New year by the Chinese calendar is mark not only by Chinese people, but also by all people of the world to whom the culture of this most numerous and one of the most talented nations of the world is interesting.

The Orient actively co-operates with colleagues from Celestial Empire, exchanges materials and we dare to hope that our site has its own Chinese readership.

We wish happy New Year to our colleagues, our readers, the Chinese people and all people who celebrate the change of the year by the Chinese calendar! We wish them health, good luck, and successes in the Year of the White Metal Rat!
