2023 is a special year in the lunar calendar, celebrating two zodiacs – the rabbit and the cat. While it is the Year of the Rabbit in countries such as China and Korea, the Vietnamese community celebrates the Year of the Cat.

Author Stephen Zhang will be hosting a reading on ‘What Chinese Lunar New Year Means to Me’ at Micro-Labs Melbourne together with four international students who will share personal stories. Treats and tea will be provided.
Sunday 22 January, 1.30-5pm
