Countdown to Lunar New Year kicks off

A woman decorates her home yesterday in Wen’an County, in northern Hebei Province. Xiaonian, literally “small new year,” falls today, which is the 23rd of the last month of the lunar calendar. From today, Chinese people in the north start serious preparations, including selecting festival goodies and house clean-up, for the incoming Lunar New Year on January 28.— Xinhua
