Roy Kiyoshi: This Year There Is No Gathering During Chinese New Year

JAKARTA - The COVID-19 pandemic changes all habits in society. To maintain distance, all crowd-causing activities are restricted. Including the Chinese New Year celebration later.

The turn of Chinese New Year this year will be very different from previous years. This was disclosed by Roy Kiyoshi.

"There is no preparation for the Lunar New Year, because there are restrictions due to COVID-19. Usually when the Lunar New Year is always crowded there are 10-20 people," he said when met in the Tendean area, South Jakarta some time ago.

Roy also said work made him unable to get together with his family. "This year, I can't seem to get together. Apart from that, I also have a job shooting during Chinese New Year. It's started stripping," he explained.

So far, this film player who claims to have a sixth sense has always celebrated Chinese New Year with his family. "The tradition is to share angpau from mama papa to me. If it's like I can't give my nephew because I'm not married yet. He said it'll be tough," he explained.

Apart from this tradition, Roy Kiyoshi admits that he likes dishes during Chinese New Year. "I was given basket cakes, pineapple, oranges and pears. That's what I like the most from Imlek," said Roy Kiyoshi.
