The second child in his family, Miles was one of at least five babies born in the early hours of the first day of the Lunar New Year. The infant's mother, Mrs Chan, was surprised that her son became the first of this year's "dragon babies", as Miles had not been expected until next week. "So really exciting the whole entire energy. Everybody not just us, we were super excited, of course, as parents. The doctors, the whole entire team, everybody was very excited." she added.  Chan said Miles' birth is the best Lunar New Year gift, expressing that her sole wish is for her baby to grow up happily.  "Whatever the Chinese zodiac is for the baby, as long as the baby is health, they grow, I think being happy is the most important. But it's [the same] for any of the children." Apart from Miles, a baby girl was born at 12.33am at the Hong Kong Adventist Hospital in Tsuen Wan, while three babies were born shortly after midnight in public hospitals.
