Negara Indonesia kaya dengan keberagaman. Sebanyak sekitar 5% dari penduduk Indonesia beretnis tionghoa, dan tradisi perayaan tahun baru imlek menjadi salah satu hari raya yang ikut memeriahkan banyak daerah di tanah air Indonesia. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia merupakan negara demokrasi yang saling menghargai dan mencintai keberagaman. Sekalipun beragam dalam berbagai latar belakang, tapi Indonesia tetap satu. Itulah "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika," yang menjadi semboyan bangsa Indonesia yang tertulis pada lambang negara. Mari kita mengenal tradisi dari perayaan tahun baru imlek. MERDEKA!
