Warren Buffet plays ukulele to wish Chinese a happy new year

by Amy Nguyen on January 23, 2012

Billionaire Warren Buffet made a special appearance on a Chinese television station singing “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” while playing a ukulele to wish the Chinese a happy new year. While I’m not sure what relevance the song choice has to Chinese New Year, he gets props for thinking about us Asians.

It may be a reference to the contribution that Chinese immigrants made to the building of the Trans-Continental Railroad and other railroads in North America. Dangerous, hard work for anyone, immigrants made up a large portion of this workforce. May be a bit of a stretch connecting the song and Chinese New Year, but still worth remembering! http://cprr.org/Museum/Chinese.html
