Alipay’s Lunar New Year Drive Adds a ‘Health Fu’ — Ant’s Mascot Hands Out New Red Packets as Platforms Battle for Holiday Attention

Alipay will start its 2026 Lunar New Year "collect‑fu" campaign on February 3 and is introducing a new "Health Fu" red packet distributed by Ant Group’s mascot, Ant Afu.
