Happy Chinese New Year!



Dear Chinese players!

I fell in love with Chinese culture as soon as I watched an old (1961) animated movie about Sun Wukong "Havoc in Heaven" on Soviet TV, it was the mid 1980s and I was 6-7 years old. Hong Kong's 80-90s movies and martial arts practicing cemented that love, and while I was growing up I tried to learn more about your country's story, religion and philosophy.

I finally visited China for the very first time in 2023 (I was in Shanghai) and since I was amazed with the country I took my family on another trip soon after that and we've been in Beijing and Hong Kong. Hong Kong was good, but was a little too western, but both Shanghai and Beijing were great. Clean streets, many trees, people are friendly and helpful, city colors, I really was impressed.

I'm really proud that more than 70% of the players of my games are Chinese people.

I want to wish all the best to you and your families in the New Year! And thank you very much for supporting my games!
