The event is an annual Yuhua community tradition to commemorate Chinese New Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, the evening was a great occasion to celebrate new and old friendships, as the guests tucked into a sumptuous communal dinner and tossed a hearty plate of \u201cyusheng\u201d. The joyous mood of the event was also elevated by an exciting lion dance and the appearance of the \u201cFortune God\u201d, who went around to offer prosperity greetings to diners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ourneighbourhood.jrtc.org.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/83586126_2906655056021754_1302140071608057856_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1732\" data-link=\"https:\/\/ourneighbourhood.jrtc.org.sg\/?attachment_id=1732\" class=\"wp-image-1732\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ourneighbourhood.jrtc.org.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/83671491_2906660819354511_2736373391412953088_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1733\" data-link=\"https:\/\/ourneighbourhood.jrtc.org.sg\/?attachment_id=1733\" class=\"wp-image-1733\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ourneighbourhood.jrtc.org.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/83943226_2906659119354681_5360633821274308608_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1734\" data-link=\"https:\/\/ourneighbourhood.jrtc.org.sg\/?attachment_id=1734\" class=\"wp-image-1734\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the night went on, the festive mood was driven to a new high, thanks to energetic performances put up by various groups of young performers. One of the highlights was a drum performance by Fuhua Primary School, and one of the lead performers found a creative way to belt out his act by using a Milo tin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a Facebook comment to Crest Secondary\u2019s video performance post, guest of honour Ms Grace Fu, Minister for Culture, Community and Youth, and Adviser to Yuhua Grassroots Organisations, noted that the school\u2019s funky modern dance performance was especially popular with the audience. \u201cI have not seen the crowd so responsive before.
