Sir Yes 蛇

Singapore - Chinatown

新加坡 — 牛车水

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year.

今天是华人新年的初一。

This year is the Yisi Snake Year.

今年是乙巳蛇年。

2025 is the year of the Wood Snake, a beautiful green snake.

2025年是木蛇年，为青蛇，是秀丽漂亮的蛇。

Although it is a wood snake this year, it has been raining since the beginning of the year, so this snake feels more like a water snake.

今年虽然是木蛇，但是从年初开始就一直在下雨，所以感觉这条蛇更像是水蛇。

It does not matter if it is a wood snake or a water snake; as long as it is a snake that brings wealth to everyone, then it is a great snake!

木蛇也好，水蛇也罢； 只要是给大家带来财富的蛇，那就是伟大的蛇！

At the beginning of the new year, wishing all readers, "Wooden Snakes have good luck, and everything goes as they wish", plentiful!

新年伊始，祝愿读者们 “木蛇开运，巳巳如意”，发啊！

P/S: The Chinese character ”蛇“ means snake, and its Hanyu Pinyin is pronounced as "she", which sounds like "sir" in English.

注：英文字 ”sir“ 有 “先生、爵士、阁下” 的意思，其发音刚好和中文的 “蛇” 同音。
