He celebrates by pasting spring couplets with his Chinese employees and handing out &#8220;Hongbao&#8221; (red envelopes), turning business partners into family.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the scent of ink on couplets to the shared joy of the holidays, Yiwu&#8217;s inclusive environment allows entrepreneurs and residents from around the world to strive, live, and turn a foreign land into home.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Hashtag: <\/b>#Yiwu<\/p>\n<p>\n            <em>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.<\/em>\n        <\/p>\n<p>        <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/track.media-outreach.com\/index.php\/WebView\/450495\/4121\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" style=\"width:1px;height:1px;\"\/>\n    <\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/china\/2026\/02\/17\/450495\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YIWU, CHINA &#8211; Media OutReach Newswire &#8211; 17 February 2026 &#8211; As red lanterns light up the streets and alleys, Yiwu is welcoming spring in a unique way.
