Story

Double Happiness

In Chinese mythology, the snake symbolises wisdom, elegance, and intuition, making it a revered figure in the zodiac. The Year of the Snake is a time for personal growth and self-discovery, where intellect and patience pave the way for success.

The concept of Double Happiness is deeply rooted in Chinese culture, symbolising love, joy, and marital bliss. Often depicted as two intertwined characters, it signifies unity and the bringing together of two souls—an emblem of enduring happiness.
