Most commercials try to do funny during Chinese New Year, and they sometimes get it right. Some take the emotional angle, which is admittedly a whole lot tougher, touching on filial piety and love. Here are 5 past commercials that will have you choking up by the time you're done with them.

1. Eu Yan Sang Malaysia's 2014 CNY commercial

Talk to your loved ones. Communication is important.

2. Petronas 2014 - Young Hearts

This isn't tissue material, but it sure touches the heart's sweet spot.

3. Bernas 2013 - "Ka Fan"

A mother's love is powerful.

4. Old Folks (2006)

Love is important, and being there is just as important.

5. Bernas 2014 (They outdid themselves with this.)

Your family is going to be there for you always.
