Music world's big idols Andy Lau, Eason Chan and Hacken Lee lion danced today, the first day of the Chinese New Year. They wished everyone a happy year and even hoped that all goes well for the magazine Oriental Daily (that did this interview). Both the married Eason and Hacken tried to get in first, trying to hand out red packets to Andy.

When it comes to singing, Andy, Eason and Hacken are right at home, but who knew that even with lion dancing they can be just as entertaining. Andy became the "big boss" ordering Eason and Hacken to lift up the lions head and give a lively performance.

Then Eason and Hacken became "the most popular fortune deity" (a play on the title of "the most popular male singer") giving Andy red packets. Andy first wished Hacken "I wish you a whole line of boys. I hope that you'll be father to a litte "Hacken" that is a beautiful and intelligent as Emily Lo." before wishing Eason "I hope on the road of music you will become more brilliant and popular.". Hacken and Eason both wished Andy "will find and wife soon and father some kids so that you can formally give out red packets" in unison. The three men chatted and joked with one another and it seems like the music world this year will be more prosperous than before.

Hacken Lee tells about Emme Wong getting Shawn Yue Drunk

In the Chinese New Year, Hacken will be performing on stage in Las Vegas. Other performing artists include Dao Lang and Rene Lau. Hacken's wife Emily will also be there.

Hacken admits he's very traditional and likes to spend New Years in Hong Kong. He recalls "One year, I invited all my colleagues back to my new house for dinner. And then Shawn got really drunk and threw up all over the floor!" When asked if anyone kept getting Shawn to drink, Hacken responded with "Emme did it!".

This year is the first year that Hacken is married and will have to hand out red packets. When asked how much he managed to receive, Hackne said that it was more or less the same as last year. He just has to prepare more red packets to give out this year as he will be giving out two instead of one.
