Young men sitting on a bench at Jin De Yuan were absorbed in playing a smartphone game without paying their respects to the temple
The Chinese temple in Jakarta called Jin De Yuan was crowded. There was an uninterrupted stream of visitors because the Chinese New Year was approaching. Most people visit the altar which enshrined the main deity, Kannon, and several other altars in this temple. And the worshippers were also giving incense to the large incense burner. Everyone sincerely hoped that the coming New Year would be a good one.
Like the local worshippers, I also visited the Kannon in the main hall and went back to the large incense burner. I thought everyone wanted to have a good New Year, but I realized that some people didn't want with all the hearts when I looked around calmly. For example, younger people didn't seem to care much about what kind of New Year they're going to have.
For some of the younger people, it was not so much what kind of New Year was coming, but rather the progress of the game they're playing. Some people felt that it was much more important. Although they were not interested, I guessed their parents brought them here. On a bench in front of a Chinese phoenix, young men could be seen staring at the phone screen.
