"What Did I Do Is For Your Own Good" - how to survive the Chinese new year

Visible to anyone in the world

I chanced upon this very hilarious song, by Shanghai Rainbow Chamber Singers. It reflects how young people in China try hard to survive the Chinese New Year. The song is translated as "What Did I Do Is For Your Own Good".

I'm sure lots of Chinese people could relate to this song. Who could exempt from being 'questioned' by kind aunties and uncles at family gatherings? "When are you getting married?" "How much do you earn?" ......

Happy new year, everyone!
