🏮𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 from the SISUers, the little swans raised at SISU!
🦢 FYI, 'er' sounds like '鹅'—the character for swan in Mandarin.
It’s time to conclude Chinese New Year celebrations and witness the first full moon of the year, a symbol of unity and completeness in Chinese culture. Lanterns light up, riddles are solved, and families gather to enjoy “yuanxiao” or “tangyuan” — sweet glutinous rice balls that represent togetherness.

Join us in celebrating this joyful festival under the brightest moon of the year!
