Asian and Asian American Artists on Celebrating Lunar New Year Lunar New Year is the single most important date on the calendar for billions of people in East and Southeast Asia, including China, Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam and Singapore. Observed this year on January 22, it marks the end of winter and the arrival of spring, with families journeying to their hometowns for weeks of festivities. With over 18 million Americans of Asian descent, the holiday — called Chūnjié in Mandarin, Seollal in Korean and Tết in Vietnamese — is celebrated in the United States as well as globally. And though it’s not officially observed in most Western countries, many in the Asian diaspora keep their heritage alive through traditional foods and rituals. Often, it’s the only tangible connection to culture we have in terms of a true celebration.As we prepare to ring in the Year of the Rabbit (or of the Cat, if you’re Vietnamese), PAPER caught up with some of our favorite Asian artists and creators from around the world to hear what the holiday means to them — and how they plan to celebrate. Lexie Liu, singerGrowing up in China, Chinese New Year is THE New Year for families to get together and celebrate with gourmet food, beautiful blessings and red packets. Ever since my parents divorced, I haven’t found a good way to attend both of their family dinners in New Year because they are in different cities, but this year we are all celebrating in the same city so I can finally be there for both of the families.The foods I loved are Fried Stinky Tofu with lots of spicy radish from Changsha Hunan. I need it in my holiday life. For the Year of the Rabbit, I wish I can eat more vegetables than a rabbit. (I probably do already.) Also, I wanna be as energetic as one, too.Related | Lexie Liu's Got Tricks and Tracks You Need to HearRuoyi Jiang, founder of Chop Suey ClubLunar New Year has always been about family time, relatives getting together and gossip. It means a BIG dinner together, endless amounts of food, giving and receiving red envelopes, watching a national TV program while poking fun at it, and enjoying the fireworks.The past many years I haven't been able to go back home for LNY, so this holiday for me is about celebrating with our chosen family. We are throwing a big party on Jan 21st (LNY Eve)! I do this type of parties because many people like me cannot be home to celebrate with their families. This time we wanna bring street food like skewers into the mix with soup dumplings. My favorite food for the season is 糖葫芦 tanghulu (candid hawthorn stick), it's not a LNY food per se but it's a Beijing winter specialty. My family is very small (just me and my mom), so we normally go to someone else's house for this holiday. My favorite memory is getting dressed with my mom, she would criticize my fashion while trying to have color-coordinated outfits with me. My wish for this year is that China can return to normalcy soon, so my mom and I can resume our annual trip together. I haven't seen her for three years now.​Twaydabae​, chef and influencerLunar New Year has always been about spending time with family & celebrating traditions to me. It's a time to reflect, wish each other well and set intentions for the future. I plan to celebrate with my family: It's going to be a big get-together this year and I'm really looking forward to having my mom's thit kho and my Stepdad's pho.My favorite memory of Lunar New Year in my home would have to be the games that are played, especially the dice game aka the Bau Cua Ca dice game. And my wish for this year is to welcome more peace into my life and to practice mindfulness in everything I do.Related | Twaydabae Is Viet Girl MagicEden, producerGrowing up in Ireland, Lunar New Year always felt like a nice family ritual — there was never much notice of it in the world outside. My biggest memory is of red envelopes. My granny would give them out to us on New Year’s and it always made it feel like a special time. I actually keep them in my house now and use them sometimes when gifting things to my friends. This year, I will be on tour somewhere in Texas doing my best to find some dim sum. Kim Nguyen, founder of Nguyen IncSometimes I go back home to Houston to celebrate with my immediate family but this year I’m staying in NY and planning on cooking with my friend SK Lyons at their home. Both of us have never cooked pho before so we are going to attempt my mom's recipe. I love literally everything my mom cooks. She is hands-down the best chef I know! Memories that immediately come to mind from when I was younger are playing bầu cua tôm cá with my uncles and cousins (because I was very lucky and always won a lot of money), cleaning every inch of our house before the festivities and playing hide and seek with all my cousins with back-to-back episodes of Paris by Night blaring from the TV in the living room. I read somewhere that this year's water rabbit (or cat) is supposed to be the year of hope, so I'd like to keep that in mind throughout the year.Related | Nguyen Inc Is Making Runway Fashion Statements From Upcycled TeesThuy, singer​Lunar New Year means family and tradition to me. It means being able to ring in a new year with the people who mean the most and enjoy traditions that have been passed down for decades together. I plan to celebrate by being surrounded by close and extended family. I want to be in conversation with family about our past and future plans while enjoying all the delicacies and treats! I especially love bánh tét! My favorite memory is staying up until midnight to light the fireworks! It was so much fun and we didn’t have to clean up the mess. We would leave the red residue all on our front porch for weeks. The only thing that scared me was how loud they were as a kid! My wish is to live peacefully and wholeheartedly. I want to continue doing what I love and enjoy every moment of it.Related | Thuy Is in Her BagAlex Porat, singerI’m going to spend most of my Lunar New Year days with my family. We’re going to eat a lot of food, especially Tang Yuan, which is my favorite dessert on this earth. I’ll probably also do a lot of cleaning and potentially rearranging of furniture so that I can have a new perspective in my living space as I turn into a new year. This might be pretty silly, but in general, I like moving furniture around way too much. My favorite memory is from whenever I was in Asia as a kid celebrating. Every time I was there around Lunar New Year I would see all my relatives and it was always such a big celebration. Now, living and growing up in North America, it’s such a different experience but I still have such a great community here of friends and family that celebrate. So there are a lot more memories yet to be made.Su Lee, musician and podcasterKoreans eat a lot of savory pancakes on Lunar New Year and my favorite is Mom’s specialty potato pancake that she makes at home. (Speaking of which, I would probably ask her to make some in advance before I leave Korea.)When I was in kindergarten, my grandpa would take me on a ride in his car and buy me toys whenever my family visited him for the holidays. I remember he always had a picture of me stuck by the front seat. This was a very long time ago and yet I still remember it all so clearly. I miss my grandpa a lot whenever I look back on this. One of my biggest wishes for this year was that my sister would pass her nursing exam. And this one has come true already – she passed! I hope this means I’ll have my other wishes come true. I hope I can go on tour again and maybe even be able to play at some festivals this year! I also hope I can get to meet and pet more cats this year.Related | Su Lee Forgot How to Make FriendsSamantha Tan, race car driver and team ownerLunar New Year is similar to [Western] New Year’s celebrations at the end of the year. It’s about celebrating the next cycle and next rotation in the Zodiac, family gatherings and wishing for health and prosperity for the years to come. Honestly, after growing up in a small Canadian town, Lunar New Year celebrations felt like one of the only times I got to experience something from my culture, so it allowed me to connect with my heritage. Today, it’s a celebration that reminds me to be proud of who I am and where I came from.This year, I am spending my Lunar New Year with my mom’s side of the family. My grandparents are planning a big dinner with all our favorite foods, complete with noodles, lots of dumplings, steamed fish and nian gao! Sometimes, when the whole family is able to get together in Toronto, we’ll go out to a restaurant and my favorite dish has always been the Peking duck with pancakes.Dolly Ave, singerLunar New Year always gives me fond memories with my family. It’s a celebration of a new chapter and a special occasion to be with your loved ones and take in all the blessings and future blessings the year may off you.I’ll be performing for the Vietnamese community here in California at a Lunar New Year festival. For me, that’s a special moment to bring to people music to dance to and celebrate to. I love sharing a big Vietnamese spread but specifically the large roasted pig that is commonly eaten during this time. My favorite memory is taking our red envelopes and, in good fun, playing games for each other's money.Photos courtesy of the artists https://www.papermag.com/lunar-new-year-celebrations-2659287111.html

Nirei: Mr. Brightside by The Killers

I SEEN YOUR VYLAD MUSIC/SOMG LIST AND I REQUIRE YOUR GENIUS!! What would… Dante listen to… or.. Zenix..

𝐌𝐘𝐒 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒' 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐂 𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄 𝐇𝐂'𝐒

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆: dante & zenix

𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄: hey so i actually came up with a list for both hehe! i had a lot of fun coming up with playlists for them so i went a little overboard with the examples but here they are!

𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄

for dante, i feel like he’d so be into a mix of older rap and club/party music, and that it's usually his go to. i think he shamelessly would also listen to some of that good old emo music (he heard gene listening to it when he was younger so he thinks it’s cool and has a lot of nostalgia listening to it) but it’s not his main thing. gene would listen to tejano music as well, but we all know dante is the no sabo kid of the family ahahhaa so he has a few he likes but it’s not his main genre he listens to.

here’s some examples of songs in his playlist:

intergalactic by beastie boys

so fresh, so clean by outkast

ms.jackson by outkast

keep their heads ringin’ by dr. dre

insane in the brain by cypress hill

clint eastwood by gorillaz

feel good by gorillaz

i know what you want by busta rhymes & mariah carey

the way i are by timbaland

get low by lil jon & the east side boyz 

wobble by v.i.c.

london bridge by fergie (yes he would love fergie)

cómo te voy a olvidar by los ángeles azules 

amor prohibido by selena

si una vez by selena

side note: i saw @milkeywaylady on tiktok hc that travis loves kpop, and i adore that headcanon, so i think dante would listen to kpop artists with travis!

𝐙𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐗

zenix would be into rap and rock as well, but definitely more into screamo and like, “hardcore”(by his definition)(nerd) songs? lol, he still can appreciate calmer music too, but he definitely prefers music that is constantly attacking his eardrums. it's giving what i listened to as an angry teenager(sometimes now), and honestly? yeah, as he should (please get therapy, zenix).

some examples of songs in his playlist:

break stuff by limp bizkit

rollin’ (air raid vehicle) by limp bizkit

custer by slipknot

chop suey! by system of a down

my own summer (shove it) by deftones

bored by deftones

a match into water by pierce the veil

bulls in the bronx by pierce the veil

sunshine by $uicide boy$

magazine by $uicide boy$

venom by ghostmane 

deira city centre by night lovell

(i have to stop now, but you guys get the vision, right?)

Feng Nuxi's design and the China Doll Nightclub

Recently, I stumbled across a tumblr thread that discusses the inspiration behind Feng Nuxi’s character design. It says that Feng Nuxi’s design refers to the costumes of the female Chinese American performers in the China Doll Nightclub. As the representative of the American born Chinese society, I have to elaborate on the China Doll Nightclub. 

In 1938, a Chinese American club owner Charlie Low (picture below)  established a nightclub called the Forbidden City in San Francisco, California. The Forbidden City quickly became the most popular “suey chop circuit”, a network of Chinese American cabaret performers in California during the 40s to 50s, among the nightlife industry in California's Chinatowns. 

The Suey chop circuit completely revolutionized the nightclub life in Chinatown and California in general. Chinese American performers began to mash their singing, dancing, and dressing to fit the fashion and trends of Mainland China and also United States at the time. As the suey chop circuit gained popularity, white people saw how different the performers at Chinese nightclubs looked and acted, and took note of that. 

In 1946, stage producer Tom Bell established a Chinese nightclub in New York on Broadway Street called “China Doll”. Unlike the suey chop circuits in California, “China Doll” plays with the East Asian stereotypes and the “oriental” aesthetic. Initially, Bell had promoted the club as “New York’s only oriental nightclub” and later on performers at the “China Doll” had to perform shows with names such as “Maid in China” and “Slant Eyed Scandals.” Like black nightclubs, the China performers at “China Doll” 

As racist as this could be, “China Doll” helped expand the suey chop circuit from California to all parts of the United States, introducing the Chinese American performers to a broader, newer audience, and boosted the careers of many Chinese American entertainers.

omg ok so the show tonight was tons of fun but GOD the fucking guest dj sucked so bad usually its someone we know like fred from tbs or ryan key or william beckett but tonight they made this HUGE deal of introducing Ryan cabrera & me and my friend are just like who the fuck is that. and he was the worst guest dj they've ever had like did not let a single song finish playing, all these weird glitches in his set like played ain't it fun & had to start it over 3 times played all these pop songs like HELLO we are at emo night. if we wanted to listen to lady gagatheres four gay bars within walking distance we would be at instead & half of the time he did play an actual emo song it was an edm or club remix like the WORST xlub remix of still into you where the beat didn't match, edm I write sins, edm welcome to the black parade, sugar were going down. it was SOOOO BAD thank god me & my bestie I always go with are both haters so we were shit talking & laughing the whole time but GODDDD & he went for an HOUR they never give a guest dj that much time it's 12-3:30 that's way too fucking long

do like by the time he was done I was so annoyed & had had a couple veers so they're like give it up for Ryan I literally was alternating between a middle finger and thumbs down and booing and yelling you suck fuck you LOL idk what got into me like after I booed the first time kinda quietly the dude behind me was like yeah that guy was trash & it encouraged me too much so I was just yelling after that LOL. some other dude comes up to me & is like "why's he a bad person?" & im like idk if he is or not. he's a bad dj. & he's like oh yeah lol he sucked LMAOOOO. & after his set he just kept fucking TALKING and TALKING me & the guy behind me were like "MUSIC! PLAY SOME FUCKING MUSIC!!" thankfully after that Jordan our best friend Jordan the good dj came on & played chop suey immediately & you could tell the entire crowd had been waiting for all the dance remixes to finally fucking end bcus it was like the craziest I'd ever seen the pit at one of these shows like guys were doing flips in the air one dude got kicked in the face.

& I'd wanted to look up the guest dj dude but forgot his last name (no service in the venue or I woukdve done it when we were like who is he) so I was asking people in the bathroom if they remembered his name or knew him & this girl's like "he's some fuckinf nobody one hit wonder from like 2003. he was on the hills I think" & this other girl was like yeah he sucked like I like edm but that's not what we came here for & im like YOU GET IT!!! anyway thank god Jordan closed out the show w an hour of good music lmao

Don't leave nothin' to my name cuz I'll just prolly sell it for a blue I gotta numb the pain, gonna crush it too

But I'm invited holidays are rough in middle class stuff for mixin' gin I got the juice inside my glass

Don't blame it on a caddy

Margarita

Drunk and bothered I need another *sniff* speak of V's and 30's crush em pop em off puff and pass the drinks Bon Iver broken teeth, veneer in sinks

Hate the scene, hate the genre, gloving forget the pain forget the FUCK I LOVE IT

Forget the stupid faggots talkin' shit in death maybe I'll die and in my spirit they'll remember why I even tried

Tumblr made a faker skater websites nolly I got a blog but it's a fucking phony stalling

Choices ride me like my haters livin' for their demons underdog that dies inside the movie beemin'

Can't talk Can't walk Can't be the one

Choose life Choose death Noose got it hung

Find fear Feel fragile living

Got sober nah I'm crystal Killin'
