How much can a kid earn during the Chinese New Year? It depends on where you live. Generally speaking, kids in the eastern and southern regions receive more lucky money than those in northern and western regions. Xiaojun and his parents visited his grand-parents in Xingtai during 2013 Spring Festival Holidays. His lucky money is more than CNY 4000. Xiaojun was very happy and took his lucky money to buy snacks at the shop. On his way home, he was beaten by another four kids. According to them, Xiaojun showed off his lucky money to them. What a pity! I didn’t get any lucky money this year. Instead, I sent out a large amount of money to my relatives’ kids.

Sadly, I didn't receve any red envelope this year. I am an adult. No one gave me money but I gave money to my parents.

Those not getting much would be angry. Some children are bolder, would go around the neighbourhood, knocking the doors hoping to get more red envelops. That's what happened in my hometown now. Wan

Now, these children don't care about the red envelopes, as long as they get money. Sometimes I wonder if their parents realise that they are being taught howmto be beggars. Wan

You know Chairman Mao's image is printed on the Chinese 100 note. Some parents teach their children to beg for red note with Chairman Mao's images. If you give a green CNY 50, the kid won't accept it.
