Porasle cijene hrčaka u Kini Ulazak Kine u godinu štakora imao je jedan neočekivan učinak: porasle su cijene hrčaka. Prije 7. veljače, prvoga dana lunarne Nove godine, taj glodavac nije vrijedio više od pet yuana (0,50 eura), dok mu je cijena ulaskom u godinu štakora porasla čak šest puta. - Većina ljudi želi životinje koje sliče štakoru, a potražnja za hrčcima se udvostručila, objasnio je prodavač hrčaka u Pekingu Yi Xiaoran. Liječnici su, međutim, upozorili na rizike za ljudsko zdravlje, prije svega na ugrize. Štakor je prvi znak u kineskom horoskopu, a slijede vol, tigar, zec, zmaj, zmija, konj, jarac, majmun, pijetao, pas i svinja. Godine su u kineskom kalendaru određene kombinacijom kineskog zodijaka i elemenata zlata, drva, vode, zemlje i vatre. Proslava traje petnaest dana. Započinje Novom godinom, a završava Festivalom lampiona kojim se dočekuje buđenje proljeća. (METRO)
