Appreciate the effort. But "Gung Hay Fat Choy" isn't actually a translation of "Happy New Year". It's a popular saying Chinese folks greet another with during CNY that means something along the lines of: "Congratulations and be prosperous"... it's a common error spread by many mainstream North American organizations.

The actual saying (新年快樂) which means "Happy New Year" is "Sun Leen Fai Lok" for Cantonese and "Xin Nian Kuai Le" for Mandarin.

Having said that... I wish you a happy new year and a prosperous one too!

The angles composition and simplicity are fantastic..

The allusion to the tiger year via the roar of the car is clever..

Since the timing makes it seem certain that the car runs the rabbit over, the rabbit year seems to veer between glacial beauty and the terror of annihilation..

Perhaps kind of appropriate considering the climate, economy, politics, and human existence in general!

Year of the Rabbit indeed - and yes, seemingly appropriate considering the current climate. Moral of the story is perhaps: 'Keep going through the darkness; whatever comes at you - just keep going!'. I like it.
