Eastern Washington University celebrated Chinese New Year Jan. 25-27 with several events. On Friday, members of the Spokane Lion Dance Team performed the lion dance. The dance is performed during Chinese New Year and other holidays as a way to bring good luck and drive away evil spirits.
Adjunct professor Chiu Hsin Lin also led guests in singing "Gongxi, Gongxi," which is the Chinese New Year song while Carlos Alden, host of Spokane Public Radio's "Nacho Celtic Hour," plays the erhu, a two-string bow instrument from China.
