Editor's note: Despite the devastation of natural disasters, struggle and misery in our daily lives, we all deserve a happy and good start to the New Year. As the Spring Festival, Chinese Lunar New Year, dawns, we are warmed to witness people enjoy a happy reunion with their family members and share joy during the most exciting time of the year. Here we offer a collection of photos from those who have suffered turmoil in the previous year, but inspiringly will greet the New Year with a smile.
