Dear Lucy,

I’m thrilled to know that you find the celebration of the Double Ninth Festival with the elderly meaningful. I’m writing to tell you more about this festival.

This festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, symbolizing longevity in Chinese culture. Traditional activities involve mountain climbing, admiring chrysanthemums, and enjoying Chong yang cakes. These customs now often intertwine with outdoor exercises.

As I see it, the festival embodies China’s value of respecting the elderly, emphasizing their health and wellbeing. We should cherish and continue such meaningful traditions, promoting cultural heritage.

If you have any queries or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Hope this brief letter adds some value to your understanding.

Yours,

Li Hua
