2012 Liverpool Chinatown Chinese New Year celebrations
The year 2012 is the Year of the Dragon. ‘Dragon’ is the fifth sign of the Chinese Zodiac.
People born under this sign will have a natural charisma and are gifted with power and luck, they are innovative, brave, enterprising, passionate and self assured. However, they can be conceited, tactless, quick tempered and will stop at nothing to get what they want. A person born in this year is also capable of great achievements provided they know how to harness their tremendous energy, intelligence and talent.
The Liverpool Chinatown Chinese New Year Co-ordinating Committee works alongside Liverpool City Council and a wide range of partners across educational, private business and public service sectors to organise this year’s festival.
Colin Ling, Chief Co-ordinator of this year’s event said, ‘Whilst we have challenging times ahead, Liverpool which is twinned with Shanghai, can look forward to strengthening its trade and cultural relations with our new partners as the legacy of the World Expo 2010 continues to have a very positive impact on our city. In the Year of the Dragon, the Liverpool Chinese Community will work closer and harder than ever with the City to further enhance our links with China. We hope that the Chinese New Year celebrations in Liverpool’s Chinatown will mark an excellent beginning of the year and Liverpool will overcome any challenges ahead. Liverpool’s Chinatown welcomes you to join us for a tremendous Chinese New Year celebration”
