Brief Explanation

In Malaysia, rice is more than just a staple diet. Rice has an important role to play, especially during Chinese New Year reunion dinner celebrations. For the Chinese, the act of eating together symbolizes the reunion of families at the dinner table. But in recent times, fewer people are making it home for this rare occasion. During Chinese New Year, Bernas aired a spot that depicts the divided relationship that a son has with his parents and it centers around mealtimes. Despite the odds, there's always a way to overcome their differences and reunite.
