the year is 96
And today is November 26, 96 to be exact.
(The oddest part is that lunar calendar has been dropped in favor of the Western calendar, officially at least, but the Western years haven’t.)

Actually… it’s year 96 of the founding of the Republic of China! The Republic of China was started in 1911 by Dr. Sun Yat-Sen and so… it is now 96 years after that fateful event.
I guess you could call it a lunar calendar year… however, there are really no years in lunar calendars – just references to emperors’ reigns. And I guess the founding of Republic is sorta like an emperor’s reign?!
