Today is 冬至 (Winter Solstice) in the Chinese 24 Solar Terms. It means Winter Arrived. It marks the shortest day and longest night in the Northern Hemisphere. From this point forward, the days grow colder.

Traditionally in China, it's as celebrated as Spring Festival(Chinese New Year). Families would gather to visit loved ones, embracing the warmth despite the chill air. And today, NYC welcomed 冬至 with a timely snowfall.

Whether you're feeling melancholic or joyful today, I'm grateful for the companion we share. If you're enduring hardship, may your tears transform into kisses and comfort your soul. No matter how cold it gets, as long as you're there for yourself, the drastic drop in temperature wouldn't matter any more.
