Patrick and I will bring you a topic full of "New Year vibes": candles. You might wonder, what do candles have to do with the New Year? It turns out that candles are not just tools for lighting but also symbols of celebration, faith, and lifestyle. From the lighting candles of ancient Egypt and the traditional red candles used in Chinese rituals to the luxurious scented candles of modern times, the two teachers explore the diverse aspects of candles in this episode. In today's fast-paced world, I want to share a special idiom: "stop and smell the roses", that reminds us not to forget to slow down and appreciate the little things in life.
