Chinese students
kick off new year
By Kim Sweet
Staff Reporter
The Chinese Year of the Tiger will
be brought in with a roar on Saturday
evening with fun, food and entertain
ment, all courtesy of the Chinese
Students and Scholars Association.
The Chinese New Year, which
officially began Thursday, is being
celebrated at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln on Saturday in
order not to conflict with students’
busy weekly schedules.
The festivities begin at 4:30 p.m.
with traditional Chinese games on
the second floor of the Nebraska
Union.
Chinese Students and Scholars
Association President Fuming Zheng
promises gifts for everyone who par
ticipates.
At 6:30 p.m. dinner begins in the
Centennial Ballroom with members
of the student association serving a
number of dishes, including rice,
fruit and other authentic Chinese
fare.
The performance begins at 7:50
p.m. in the ballroom and features
singing and dancing.
Groups of all ages will be part of
the performance. High school and
elementary school students will be
pertorming various dances, including
an umbrella dance.
Singing groups and a Chinese
drummer will be on hand. The perfor
mance also will include a dance
familiar to most cultures for its size
and color - the lion dance, which will
be the highlight of the evening.
“The lion dance is very tradition
al and very attractive,” Zheng said.
Zheng is excited about the enter
tainment; the entertainers were
selected by the association, and the
competition is stiff. Only 15 of the 75
acts that tried out made the cut.
“We spend a lot of time preparing
this,” Zheng said, “The children’s
dancing is very interesting and all are
quality acts.”
The event has become very popu
lar with Chinese groups around the
area, with sponsors including local
Chinese restaurants and even a
Chinese church in Omaha, Zheng
said.
More than 500 people are expect
ed to attend the event, which has
become an annual tradition at UNL,
Zheng said.
Ticket prices include all the fes
tivities and are $10 for non-members
and $7 for members of the Chinese
Students and Scholars Association.
They can be picked up at the door
Saturday.
