Sugar Strands of Heritage: A Third-Generation Dragon Beard Candy Maker 

糖絲傳承：第三代龍鬚糖製造師 

I come from a line of dragon beard candy makers, and I'm the only one doing it in the Bay Area. Making this candy is special because it's an old tradition passed down in my family for three generations. It's not just about candy; it's about showing off Chinese culture and making sure this special craft doesn't disappear. 

Creating dragon beard candy is far from a simple process—it requires immense patience and profound dedication. Each creative endeavor is not just about making a sweet treat; it's a commitment to a tradition. It goes beyond showcasing skills; it's a tribute to the artists who came before me and a contribution to the cultural foundation. 

Every time I delicately pull and shape each sugar strand, it's not just an artistic display; it's a profound connection to the roots of my family. These sugar strands carry the dedication and wisdom of three generations, becoming a silent dialogue with the artists who paved the way. This connection goes beyond mere skill; it's a respectful nod to tradition and a steadfast commitment to cultural roots. Through this connection, what I weave with sugar strands is not just delicious; it's a vibrant tapestry of history. I hope to share this sentiment with everyone who experiences my art. 

我來自一個龍鬚糖製造家族，而在繁華的灣區，我獨自擔起這古老而獨特的手藝。製作這美味的糖不僅僅是一種技能，更是家族三代傳統的承載。這不單只是是為了製作美食，更是為了展現中國文化，保護這古老的工藝。 

製作龍鬚糖並非一蹴可幾的簡單工序─它需要極大的耐心和深厚的奉獻。每一次的創作並非僅僅是在製造一種糖果，而更是對一種傳統的堅守。這不僅僅是技藝上的展現，更是對先輩藝術家的致敬，一種對文化根基的貢獻。 

每當我細心拉扯、塑形每一根糖絲時，這不僅僅是藝術的展現，更是我與家族根源深處的深刻連結。這些糖絲承載著三代人的心血和智慧，成為我與先輩藝術家之間無聲的對話。這種連結不僅表現在技藝上，更是一種對傳統的敬意，一種對文化根基的堅守。透過這份連結，我以糖絲編織出的不僅僅是美味，還有一段生動的歷史。我希望透過我的藝術品與每位光臨的人分享這份情意。
