Synopsis of "The Lunar Race"
In this Chinese New Year skit created for the Year of the Snake (2025), students representing the twelve Chinese Zodiac animals compete in Class Z's annual Lunar New Year race, which comes with a new twist requiring participants to solve three festivity-themed riddles [00:07 (opens in new tab), 00:15 (opens in new tab)].
While several animals form teams or rely on confidence to find answers related to traditional Lion Dance performances, pineapple tarts, and school symbols [03:09 (opens in new tab), 03:24 (opens in new tab), 03:42 (opens in new tab)], the quietly determined Snake works independently and methodically [03:36 (opens in new tab), 04:14 (opens in new tab)].
Ultimately, the Snake solves all the riddles and crosses the finish line first [04:29 (opens in new tab), 05:23 (opens in new tab)], teaching everyone that true victory is not just about competing, but about wisdom, perseverance, and the lessons learned along the way [05:08 (opens in new tab), 05:16 (opens in new tab)].
