Movie scenes, movie lighting, a joyful multi-generational Chinese family gathered around a large round dining table set with traditional Dongzhi dishes to celebrate the winter solstice holiday. In the foreground, smiling grandparents wearing tangzhuang jackets lift porcelain rice wine cups etched with red double happiness characters while parents clink glasses. Farther back, children laugh trying to catch a piece of candied fruit on chopsticks. Abundant food like Peking duck, clay pot rice, steamed fish and towering stacks of plump pork and leek dumplings are artfully displayed amongst vibrant orchids, mandarin oranges and burning incense. Golden afternoon light streams into the modern living room, reflecting off glasses in tribute to blessings for the coming year
