January 23rd, 2012 marked the start of the 4709th Chinese New Year and we loved having an opportunity to read up on this important Chinese holiday. This is the year of the black water dragon, and we learned that because the Chinese consider the dragon an unpredictable and untouchable symbol, we may see something unexpected happen in 2012.
To get yourself in the Chinese New Year spirit, we recommend watching this exquisite video. It shows the China Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe dancing the Thousand-Arm Guan Yin. The performers are deaf, but the piece is so phenomenal you would never guess they've overcome major personal obstacles to be able to perform. What a testament to the power of the human spirit and the promise of a new year!
