It was past eight at night, and the flower market at Licheng Square was ablaze with lights, with a constant stream of visitors strolling through Flower Street.
Overhead, the speakers played Hong Kong's exclusive Lunar New Year song, "Twin Treasures 668" by Twins.
The name alone might not ring a bell for many, but several lines from this very familiar song are believed to have been heard by every citizen in the Liangguang Region.
"The God of Wealth arrives~ the God of Wealth arrives~ good hearts receive good rewards~ the God of Wealth speaks~ the God of Wealth speaks~ money flows in the right track♪"
"Such a lovely blossoming flower~ everyone adores it~ such a lovely blossoming flower~ welcoming the earth's radiant glow♪"
The festive spirit of Hong Kong seemed to merge into this lively flower market; without buying several pots of flowers or an orange tree from Flower Street to decorate the home, the New Year felt incomplete.
