Year after year the Double Ninth comes round. It is the ninth day of the ninth month, deep in autumn—time to climb high, admire chrysanthemums, sip wine, wear dogwood, and share a good meal with your elders.

Double Ninth holds no grand ceremony. It is a quiet whisper: some people who matter deserve your unhurried company.

We climb not for the view. We climb a little higher, so our longing can reach farther.

Children away from home, elders waiting for your return—however far apart, your hearts meet on the same height.

Double Ninth is also a day to honor the aged. Talk with your parents, send regards to your elders—the true weight of this day lies in honoring them.

May all the elderly be treated gently, and may everyone you care about stay safe and well, long and forever.

Year after year the Double Ninth comes round. May you climb with a view, come home to warmth, and keep those you love—long and forever.

GRAEFF wishes you and your family health and longevity this Double Ninth.
