Beijing is basking in the glow of a revived ancient tradition, thanks to the passionate efforts of Niu Ruixue and her dedicated team. Driven by her deep attachment to the city, Niu established Courtyard No. 27, an activity center designed to enrich the lives of senior citizens.
Her latest initiative, Myriad of Lights, aims to recreate the enchanting Lantern Festival on Dengshikou Street, mirroring the festivities as they were celebrated over three centuries ago. This project not only brings vibrant colors and lights to the historic street but also fosters a sense of community and nostalgia among the elderly residents.
Participants can immerse themselves in the rich cultural heritage of Beijing, experiencing traditional lantern displays, storytelling, and communal gatherings that spark joy and connection. Myriad of Lights is more than a festival; it's a bridge between the past and the present, illuminating the lives of Beijing's seniors with warmth and tradition.
