As the saying goes: "The Winter Solstice is as big as the year." The traditional Chinese solar term Winter Solstice plays a very important role in the hearts of Chinese people. In order to let Doumei better understand our traditional Chinese festivals and the significance behind them, this winter solstice, Dawei and I specially took her to Guangzhou Zhengjia Polar Ocean World to spend a special and meaningful winter together on the "seabed" in the center of the city.

This time, we sat around with more than 30 families in front of the "seabed" in the center of the city-the deep-sea real-life exhibition tank that set the Guinness World Record, eating steaming rice dumplings and enjoying the wonderful performance! This special public welfare event with the theme of "One Winter Solstice, One Night Ocean" builds a happy gathering platform for young and middle-aged people and parents who usually do not have time to accompany their parents, and arouses people's care for their families and parents.

Stars appear to help out, warm songs warm people's hearts

This winter solstice public welfare event also attracted the attention of many musicians and came to help.

Wang Houming, a famous public welfare musician, director and founder of Dream Collection, sang "A Letter from Home", sang "When You Are Old" by independent musician Lao Tian, sang "The Big Sky" by pop female singer Cheng Yiwei, and the young singer of the Guangzhou Song and Dance Theater Wan Chengqi's singing "If There is Love, There is Home" touched the parents and children present, and many people burst into tears.

Lao Tian also specially performed a flute solo "Raising the whip to urge the horses to carry grain" for the parents present, so that they can return to their youth.

We also watched the mermaid performance of Zhengjia Polar Ocean World together. When Doumei returned home, she was still humming these songs!

Call for accompanying the elderly and let love return to the family

A steaming dumpling represents longing;

A bowl of warm glutinous rice balls represents reunion.

This is the second year of the Winter Solstice Charity Brand Event held by Times Cultural Tourism. This time, I brought Doumei to participate. I hope that I can teach her to value our traditional Chinese festivals from an early age, understand the meaning behind the festivals, and spend more time with her family and elders., cherish the time we spend together.

Speaking of the original intention of holding the event, Mr. Xiong Xiaojie, chairman of Times Cultural Tourism (Guangzhou) Brand Marketing Consulting Co., Ltd., the organizer of the event, said that due to the pressure of life, many young people have left their homes to make a living, and have only a small amount of time to reunite with their parents every year. The middle-aged generation has greater pressure in life, rushing between work and children, and having fewer opportunities to reunite with their parents.

When it comes to December festivals, modern people pay more attention to Christmas and New Year's Eve, and often ignore our traditional Chinese program Winter Solstice. Therefore, I hope that through this activity, we will arouse everyone's attention to traditional festivals and appeal to everyone to spend more time with their parents.

Mr. Xiong Xiaojie introduced that choosing to hold this reunion banquet at Zhengjia Polar Ocean World has a special meaning. On the one hand, people may spend the winter solstice in many places, but it should be the first time in their lives to spend it in the underwater world. On the other hand, Sea World located in the center of the city is a very interesting place that can add a sense of fashion and ceremony to traditional festivals.

Last year, they held a "Winter Solstice Home" event for foreigners in Guangzhou, dedicating them the warmth from Guangzhou. This year's "One Bowl of Winter Solstice, One Night of Ocean" charity event was initiated by Times Cultural Tourism, co-sponsored by Zhengjia Polar Ocean World, and jointly participated in the event as special brands.

Guangzhou Zhengjia Polar Ocean World is no stranger to us. This "underwater world" set up in the center of the city has completed many children's wonderful fantasies about the mysterious seabed.

Taking the escalator through this "underwater time and space tunnel", we are not only greeted by humpback whales, but also curious and exploration of the mysterious and unknown ocean.

The "underwater storm" composed of milkfish brought the shock of nature to her little girl

The cute beluga whale is a star in Zhengjia Polar Ocean World. For children, this cute little friend brings her peace and friendship between humans and animals.

The best parent-child education is to learn about and get to know the colorful ocean world through visits with parents. Seeing the soft and crystal clear "Ocean Dancer" jellyfish, Doumei will exclaim,"So there are so many different types of jellyfish!" Seeing a seal swimming super fast, she would marvel,"This speed is so fast, I only see its shadow!"

Doumei is deeply attracted by the myriad of strange marine life, and what she comes into contact here enriches her other understanding of this blue earth.

Of course, the happiest thing is that there are many children here who share common interests with her ~

Children's daydream of traveling, drifting into the distance with the current of water ~

--"Love to daydream, happiness floats into the sky"

Let us protect your dreams. I hope you can remember this year's winter solstice, the happy time spent on the seabed with your parents, and you can also understand more about our traditional Chinese festivals and the meaning behind them.
