# The Reunion Dinner

> The reunion dinner is the heart of Chinese New Year celebrations. Held on New Year’s Eve, it gathers family members from near and far. The meal is abundant and symbolic, featuring dishes like fish for surplus, dumplings for wealth, and sticky rice cakes for a higher position in life. The dinner fosters love and togetherness, as stories and laughter fill the air. Afterward, elders give red envelopes filled with money to younger generations, wishing them health and success in the coming year.
