On 21st Jan 2017, Mcsim
Lion Dance team was so honored to be invited to perform “Cai Qing” in SWAMI
Home, which is a Chinese tradition to remove the bad luck and hope that there
will be good things such as wealth and health, comes into the house.
This
was the second times the Mcsim Lion Dance performing in SWAMI House, and we
feel so thankful to i-Care who invited us twice. It was a great experience to
have this meaningful voluntary performance as this gives a lot of pleasure to
the elderly.
This
time we bring the “God of Wealth” together with the Lion Dance, hope to bring
prosperity to SWAMI Home, and have fun with our lovely elderly, and wish them
to have a good health!!
Next
session is “Cai Qing”, a process that the Lion eats the lettuce and then threw
up. This signifies the growth of wealth, as translated from Cantonese “Sang
Choi”. This process is to bring prosperity into SWAMI home!!
The
last session is to have fun with the elderly. Our “God of Wealth” was going around
to interact with them and wish them Happy Chinese New Year and Good Health.
We,
the Lion Dance team did get a lot of experiences in this volunteer event and we
always emphasize the importance of contribution to the society. In the end,
there are a lot of meaningful memories in SWAMI house and we are looking
forward to have our next performance next year!! Stay tuned!!
