the 1 one u can Hutang during CNY
chinese people are very superstitious about wealth and prosperous
there's lot rule here and there must not be broken or else you will have a bad luck storming to you
some of it are :
- floor sweeping on the 1st day of CNY will "sweep" your luck away
-must not wash hair on the 1st day (idk why)
- scolding people on 1st day CNY will "scare" your luck away
- must not Hutang(owe) people any form of stuff past the CNY...
-----meaning u must settle all your debt before the 1st day of CNY
but I found 1 thing you can owe
and that thing is "BOOKS"

but WHY books?
izzit because books brings alot of knowledge that u wana bring forward to another year?
the answer is because if u owe other people books, you can say
"我过年什么都没有欠, 只欠一样东西, 那就是欠书(输)!"
mandarin : wo guo nian she me dou mei you qian, zhi qian yi yang dong xi, na jiu shi qian shu!
cantonese : ngo guo nian mat yeh dou mou zang, zhi zang yat yong yeh, jiao hai zang shu!
note to pure-pure-pure banana : bcoz "lose" and "book" has the same pronouncation, the whole phrase become "I CNY does not lack of anything, but only 1 item, and that is Losing"
itw, u cannot lose(money in gambling) when you owe people books!

fast ! act fast!
go hit the nearest Library and borrow as much book as you can!
it's last day already!!!

aite, good luck trying it and have a prosperous Chinese New Year
恭喜发财 !!!
p/s : the phrase only works if you speaks Cantonese/Mandarin...

I better go order 'hard to find' books online. That way, they'll reserve one book for me. And by the time CNY is over, I only need to cancel the order if the book is still not there.
