Tiger Wang (‘24), Beijing, China 

Tiger is excited to watch fireworks, eat large meals and have family reunions during the new year, but also notes he will make time for studying and rest. 饺子 (jiao zi), dumplings, have a special place in Tiger’s family’s hearts. Cabbage dumplings create feelings of nostalgia as the elders lacked ingredients for dumplings in the past, and mainly used cabbage. 

“I’m going to be watching the new year show on TV for the whole night,” Tiger said.
