Peradaban manusia konon berjalan tidak linear, penuh liku, serta pengorbanan.

Lucky Kuswandi mengajak kita serta ke dalam sebuah perjalanan personal yang dialaminya ketika Imlek kini menjadi ‘tanggalan merah’. Perayaan hari istimewa itu senantiasa membawanya kembali ke masa kecilnya saat perayaan Imlek masih dilarang, dan beragam keunikan perayaan Imlek di kalangan terdekatnya, baik dulu maupun sekarang, serta pertanyaan besar yang terus diajukannya tiap kali Imlek tiba.
*) Selama 33 tahun, perayaan Imlek dilarang di Indonesia berdasarkan Inpres No. 14/1967, yang baru dicabut melalui Keppres No.6/2000 di masa kepresidenan Gus Dur dan diperkuat dengan Keppres No. 19/2002 di masa kepresidenan Megawati yang meresmikan perayaan Imlek sebagai salah satu hari libur nasional.

Lucky Kuswandi is taking us on a personal journey he underwent when Imlek, the Chinese New Year, was declared to be a national holiday. The celebration always takes him back to his childhood, when such festivities were still forbidden. Through his eyes, we see the unique colors with which the people celebrate Imlek, past and present, and the big question he always poses with each Imlek.
*) For 33 years, celebrating Imlek (Chinese New Year) had been forbidden in Indonesia, based on the Presidential Instruction no. 14/1967, which was later annulled by Presidential Decree no. 6/2000 issued by President Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur), and enforced by Presidential Decree no. 19/2002 issued by President Megawati, which officially declared Imlek a national holiday.
