Chinese New Year has always been a time of renewal and hope for many of us, where we look back, take stock, and look ahead to even better times.
The central theme of our story this time revolves around having the grit and determination in facing challenges, sticking together through life’s highs and lows, and keeping our hope alive for a better future.
This is conveyed through an enduring love story of a couple who met over a bowl of ‘tau fu fah’.

‘Tau Fu Fah’ short film touches the hearts of many
This is a very good commercial from Petronas. It captures a big part of the Chinese resilience and perseverance. Fu is a lucky word. It is very easy to say it. — PIERRE NG
KUALA LUMPUR: Petronas is famed for its emotionally-gripping short films and this year is no different – its new Chinese New Year film has already touched many people’s hearts.
Simply titled Tau Fu Fah, the film tells the story of a humble tau fu fah (soya bean curd dessert) seller and his customer, who end up falling in love and starting their life together.
Through the years, they slowly build up their business and grow their family, eventually earning enough to open a tau fu fah shop.
However, disaster strikes when the shop catches fire and they lose everything. They had to rebuild from scratch.
Nevertheless, they persevere and finally get back on track, now as a pair of contented grandparents.
Expressing their gratefulness for their life together, the film ends up on a sweet note with the husband replacing the “fu” word on his old bicycle cart’s “tau fu fah” sign with a Chinese New Year “fu” (meaning luck and good fortune) sign.
“Look back on a great life. Look forward to an even greater one,” said the simple message at the end of the clip, which is slightly over three minutes long.

Petronas CNY campaign kicks off
Festive cheer starts with lion dance performance
KUALA LUMPUR: Chinese New Year festive cheer kicked off with a bang for Petronas as it celebrated its new campaign with a lion dance performance outside the Petronas Twin Towers.
Off to a roaring start: Mohammad Medan (centre) and Petronas group corporate affairs division strategic communications department general manager Suhaimy Kamaruddin, along with the children from Rumah Keluarga Kami, posing in front of the Petronas Philharmonic Hall in conjunction with the launch of the Chinese New Year campaign.
The five “lions”, in yellow, purple, orange, green and red, made a majestic sight as the dancers leaped from pole to pole in a jaw-dropping routine.
The multi-racial troupe ended the performance by unfurling long banners which conveyed Petronas’ festive wishes.
Each banner and lion represented one of the “five pillars of happiness” that comprised auspicious blessings – health, tranquility, luck, wealth and longevity.
