Normally Cantonese give small amount money but for almost everybody they know.But in other province,only old people give to the unmarried people money,maybe 10 times of you received.Very different customer in different place.恭喜发财！
You mentioned old people give to the unmarried people money,maybe 10 times of Hazza received, this situation often is from parents/grandpareants but for his workmates who giving 50 RMB I suppose is quite okay.
When I first arrived in China, the culture of giving Red Packets was quite awkward for me, because in the UK usually gift physical objects, and rarely give cash directly. At first, my natural reaction was to feel that I should refuse the Red Packets, especially from those that I am not so close to - They would then insist that I should take them, I would try and decline, and we would go back a forth until eventually I accepted. After some time I became familiar with the custom, and now give out tons of Red Packets myself every year!
I went through a very similar process.. and I also give out a lot of red packets too, like to the guards in my building just to show thanks for the hard work they have done all year! It is nice to try and get involved in the local customs. Thanks for commenting and sharing your story!
@@ronniechew6566 I still hope that one day there will be someone out there that is willing to marry me and be my partner for life - and when that time comes, I definitely will prepare red packets for my unmarried colleagues!
@@Hazza_Harding You don't have to worry about finding a soulmate. You're good looking and have a good heart. I am sure there will be someone maybe even now that are somewhere near you but hidden. Don't be in a hurry though. It is never easy to find that someone that will give you the love that you can give back to them. Take your time. You are still young.
Living in Guangxi, all the red packets (Hongbao) is for the kids, generally given to them on the third day of the new year when the family gets together and feasts. Xin nian Kuai le
OMG you got more red packets in that one moment than I've ever received in my entire lifetime so far and I'm Chinese! Lucky you! Though that's mainly because I grew up in Canada and still have most my family in China. And wow, what do you do for work? I thought you were just a RUclipsr in China.
Hey mate, my day job is as a radio and television host for GRT in Guangzhou. Yeah, I have very friendly and generous colleagues... but it is the same for everyone, all the single unmarried people running around on the first day of work to collect Hong baos haha
What a nice atmosphere there, very positive vibes. The year I was born was an Ox year, so I'm curious what does 2021 mean for me. Happy New Year Hazza! Greetings from Brazil.
@@santsuma hahaha, in Chinese traditional thoughts, people can get bad luck in their 本命年 (animal for the year that is the same as your birth year). And we will wear red stuff to turn this bad luck into good luck! (Many people even wear red underwear XD) So maybe it’s time for some red clothes hahaha
Happy New Year to you and your fans! 💙💜💖❤️️🧡💛💚 The red envelopes you've received are beautiful. As a grandma, I have been giving out red envelopes for years. Every year, my financial advisor provides the envelopes for me to use. They're pretty standard and not as creative as the ones you got.
In my ex in-law area in Guiping Guangxi, they give red packets in a lot of occasions, just wish someone good luck, healthy. For example, when I was leaving after visiting them, they would give me, my kid red packets, with just very small amount of cash in there, as a semble of wishing good luck on the way home. When people get married, having babies, new year people give red packets as well. etc.
This was so good mate, I had a smile on my face for almost the whole video. A late Happy Chinese New Year, I wish we could have been that festive in Melbourne. I got a red envelope a few years ago from an ex-girlfriends mother who's originally from Malaysia, she apologised that it was only $20 but I didn't care because the gesture was so kind.
Wow, a $20 red packet is actually pretty big! I mean, here in China, a 100 RMB red packet (at least in Guangdong, for friends or colleagues) is considered very big - so $20 was pretty generous in my opinion. Although, I am stingy... so if I were in Australia, I would be giving out $5 red packets.. but it isn't the amount that matters, it is more the gesture that counts, as you mentioned. Thanks for watching mate, and a belated Happy CNY to you too!
Geeeeeeee, I wonder why people have a problem with China....... *cough* *cough* Can’t think of a reason why, China numba one after all *cough* *cough* I mean they treat their people so well those “re-education” camps look super fun and wholesome. *cough* *cough*
Hunan province, which is close to Guangdong geographically but I have spent most of time working in the north (northern China before and Europe now). I hadn't experienced such tradition before, neither did I hear about it when I was in my hometown. Maybe I simply don't know if there is or not, haha.
@@dyhu6367 I think it is a Guangdong-specific tradition. I did wait until the 15th day of the first lunar month to open the red packets hehe... But yeah, it is a great way to start the year, and I think most people appreciate this unique custom in Guangdong, even people that are originally not from here (like me!)
Gong xi fa cai & Happy Chinese New Year! Yes, we, Malaysia Chinese still following Chinese tradition as well as giving and receiving red packets (Hongbao) during Chinese New Year. Woah! I can see you received quite a number of Hongbao from your colleagues, did your boss gives you a BIG Hongbao? Hahaha... In Malaysia, we have different cultures here so we have Malays give green packets decorated with Islamic motifs during Hari Raya, while Indians give out their own version at Deepavali in purple color.
can you also gets hung pau from your boss hazza? If our tradition here is married or if it is not certain to get it from the boss, usually the nominal content in it is very large 😁

My understanding is you get these only if you are not married. Outside of the family, married couples have to give these out to single men and women. Perhaps that's why you are getting so many. Lucky you!
$ RMB 50 !!!! can't wait till the 15th for you to open the rest of red packets !!!! i wonder how much would that person give to his/her family ?? probably in the $100s. when i was a kid growing up in HK, getting red packets was the highlight of the year as it was my spending money for the whole year. when I was in primary school, my father never gave me any spending money. 😢😢😢 love from canada.
Hazza, hope you enjoy the Chinese new year festivities. Recently somebody told me that in China you can not find slum area. Can't believe it. Is that true? Hundreds of millions people from rural China seeking work in urban area. No way that you can not find slum housing area in China. Could you confirm it? Thank you 🙏
Hi, AM. There aren’t slums, but there are urban villages which are usually high density and offer comparatively low rents, and migrant workers tend to live in these areas of the city. Thanks for asking, and for commenting. I will enjoy the festivities, thank you!
