When I got married, my in-laws tradition is more or less the same with the emphasis of NOT GIVING ang pow to others when you are visiting or pay respect in other people’s house that is to say you are a visitor in other people’s house. And even though we are already married and come back to visit my parents during CNY (we gave ang pow to our parents as a mean of respect during CNY), we are told that we not obliged to give ang pow to the visitors of my parents or my siblings’ friends’ children unless it is some unmarried close relatives or relatives’ children. Of course, the amount in the and pow will be different depending on the relationship with any parties. I was brought up in a family that gives ang pow only to those who visit our family and pay respect to my parents, be it our relatives, our parents’ employees and their children or even my siblings’ friends and their children. Have a wonderful Chinese New Year celebration on 5th February 2019.
