"Gung Hey Fat Choy" is the Cantonese New Year's greeting. The Mandarin equivalent greeting is "Gong Xi Fa Cai". It means "Congratulations and be prosperous".

The literal translation of "Sun Nin Fylock" in Cantonese is New Year Happiness.

The story is Buddha asked all the animals to meet him on Chinese New Year. Twelve heeded his call, and Buddha rewarded each by naming a year after each one. He then proclaimed that the people born in each animal's year would have some of that animal's personality.

Those born in ox years tend to be painters, engineers, and architects. They are stable, fearless, obstinate, hard-working and friendly. Walt Disney, Jack Nicholson, Jane Fonda, Meg Ryan, Heather Locklear, Kate Beckinsale, Keira Knightley, and Barrak Obama were all born in the Year of the Ox.

If you were born in one of the following years and it was before the first day of Spring in the Chinese calendar, you were born during the "Year of the Ox"
