Hello! Thank you for taking the time to do this interview. I really appreciate it. For context, my thesis project is studying why young adult Chinese diaspora community members don't celebrate festivals, particularly Chinese New Year. Right now the scope is to understand people's relationship to the festival and what are the obstacles someone might face that prevent them from celebrating the festival. Would it be okay if we record this interview?

Questions

1. What is your relationship with the festival? Did your family celebrate it?
2. What were some things your family did to celebrate Chinese New Year?
3. Did you have a favorite memory about Chinese New Year?
4. Is there something you remember that you didn't like about Chinese New Year?
5. Do you celebrate Chinese New Year?
6. If you don't celebrate it, why not?
7. What things would make it more likely for you to celebrate Chinese New Year?
