Today is 大年初七, traditionally known as renri 人日, the common man's birthday, the day when everyone grows one year older.
It is the day when tossed yusheng (raw fish). This is a custom primarily among the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, such as Malaysia and Singapore. People get together to toss the colourful yusheng and make wishes for continued wealth and prosperity in the coming year.
