In Jiangkou County, Guizhou Province, early mornings are filled with the delightful aroma of sticky rice cakes being made in anticipation of Chinese New Year . Families and communities gather in their courtyards, rolling sticky white rice balls in vibrant red glutinous rice to create festive treats.
Li Yuanzhen from Yanxi Village shares, \"Red sticky rice cakes symbolize good fortune. Every household makes them for the Chinese New Year. This year, we're preparing over 30 kilograms of rice cake, wishing for a year as vibrant and sweet as these cakes.\"
This cherished tradition not only brings families closer but also strengthens community bonds, celebrating the hope and prosperity of the coming year.
