Life in China 2016: A Picture A Day, June 21 – In honor of my husband’s birthday today, I have a picture of a Chinese lotus candle. The Chinese traditionally celebrate their birthdays by eating long noodles; long noodles to celebrate a long life. Another fun Chinese style celebration is the Chinese lotus candle. You light the center and then the candles on the petals are in turn lit and the flower opens and starts playing Happy Birthday J www.myownchinesebrocade.com
