For 70-year-old Granny Li in Huangshan, her kitchen is her favorite place. Every morning, she gets up at 5 o'clock to prepare breakfast for her big family. She makes traditional Anhui dishes, such as stinky tofu and hairy tofu. The smell fills the whole house.
Her grandson, Xiaoming, used to dislike the smell of these foods. He thought they were strange. But since he went to college in another city, he started to miss the smell. “Whenever I smell these foods, I think of my grandma’s kitchen and the love she puts into cooking,” Xiaoming said.
Granny Li believes that food tastes better when it is made with love. She often teaches her grandchildren how to cook. “If they know how to cook, they will never feel lonely or hungry,” she said. For her, the kitchen is where she passes on not only recipes (食谱), but also family values.

A Special Family Tradition
In a small town in Anhui, the Wang family has a special tradition. Every year on the Winter Solstice (冬至), they make a big batch of "Winter Solstice Balls" (tangyuan).
The process starts a week before the festival. First, the whole family gathers to clean the house. Then, on the evening of the Winter Solstice, they sit around the table to make tangyuan together. Grandma mixes the glutinous rice flour (糯米粉) with water, and Grandpa rolls the dough into small balls. The children put different fillings inside, such as sesame or peanut.
This year, Wang Lin, the youngest son, brought his girlfriend, Lucy, to join the activity. Lucy is from America and it was her first time experiencing this tradition. At first, she found it difficult to wrap the filling without breaking the dough. But with the help of the family, she succeeded. “It’s not just about eating; it’s about being together and sharing the effort,” Lucy said.
Mr. Wang said, “We believe that eating tangyuan on the Winter Solstice brings good luck and family reunion. The round shape of the balls represents perfection and unity.”
