Patience Pays

Receiving gifts, whether they are for Christmas or any other occasion, is always exciting. So, it’s hard to blame this delighted individual for wanting to open the gift right away. They mistakenly destroyed a sizeable sum of money in its contents, which is unfortunate. It would have cost them nothing if they were a little more patient, though!

A “hongbao” or “ang pow,” a gift of cash given during holidays and birthdays in Chinese culture, seems to best describe this crimson envelope to those curious. The envelope’s red hue, according to the website China Highlights, represents joy and fortune.
