Chinese New Year is a very old celebration, a time for repaying debts, enjoying feasts, giving "red envelopes" of lucky money to friends and relatives, and remembering ancestors.
In China, all schools including elementary, middle and high schools, colleges and universities have two semesters, the first from September to January, and the other from February or March, depending on the date of Chinese New Year of that year, to July.
There were no Chinese Emperors by 1939. The party in power was the Kuomintang(KMT) whose leader at the time was Chiang Kai Shek.
