“Happy New Year” tells the story of Li, a man with an estranged relationship with his wife and child, Rita and Chika. One day, the death of his neighbor made him realize the brevity of life and vowed to work on becoming a better husband and father figure before it is too late. Therefore, before the Lunar New Year celebration, he insisted on reuniting his family. Li began to get closer to Rita and Chika by doing the usual things he did not do. Hence, his behavior made Rita and Chika confused. At first, Rita and Chika are still ignoring Li’s actions, but slowly they begin to accept Li as a husband and father figure. On Lunar New Year, Li managed to get the family warmth he dreamed of. But this warmth didn’t last long.
