Have you ever seen any Chinese celebrating the lunar new year without oranges ? To the Chinese, Mandarin oranges are auspicious fruits and symbolize wealth and prosperity. Out of habit, every Chinese New Year, I never failed to buy a crate of Mandarin oranges for the house and office to attract wealth. In accordance with tradition, it is also mandatory to place a pair of Mandarin oranges and Angpow ( red packet containing monwy) on top of my working desk as a symbolism of " Dai Kat Lai Xi" ( literally means abundance luck and good opportunities )
