In every corner of the world, families come together to celebrate Chinese New Year (CNY). It’s a time for reunion, a time for joy, and a time for surprises. This year, one Singaporean family gave us a beautiful reminder of what the CNY reunion is all about.
The Surprise CNY Reunion Captured on TikTok
Teo Jun Jie, a young man from Singapore, recently shared a heartwarming video on his TikTok account @teojuju.
The video captured the moment his parents, who run a hawker stall in Singapore, had an unexpected CNY reunion with their daughter and grandchildren from Indonesia.
The couple was busy cleaning up their drinks stall when they saw their daughter and two grandchildren approaching. The look of surprise and joy on their faces was priceless. The grandfather dropped everything to embrace his grandkids, while the grandmother wore a grin that could outshine any lantern.

Teo revealed in his video caption that his parents probably “gave up hope” of seeing their grandchildren this CNY. But their reactions clearly showed that the surprise was “worth the wait”. As he put it, “Nothing beats celebrating CNY with the whole family”.
This touching CNY reunion didn’t just warm the hearts of Teo’s family. It also touched netizens across the world, many of whom shared their tearful reactions in the comments section.
Teo’s video is a beautiful reminder of the joy of family reunions during Chinese New Year. It makes us appreciate our own loved ones and the precious moments we share with them.
The True Meaning of the CNY Reunion
Teo’s story is a testament to the enduring power of love, family, and reunions.
“I feel very thankful that we get to reunite as a family for CNY. As we grow older, we start to realise that these are the things that bring real joy,” Teo shared.
His parents, who work tirelessly at their hawker stall, were overjoyed by this simple act of love. This CNY reunion, as Teo put it, was “all they ever wanted”.
