Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance has a history of over 140 years. This year, it will be held for three nights, from 24th to 26th September (the 14th to 16th day of the eighth lunar month) in the Tai Hang area in Causeway Bay. It takes around 300 people taking turns to parade the dragon. Made of rattan frames, ropes and pearl straws, the fire dragon is about 67 meters long, longer than five double-decker buses. It is adorned with over 10,000 burning incense sticks. Two pearls, with incense sticks all over, will guide the dragon along its path through the streets and alleys of Tai Hang, passing by Lin Fa Kung, Sun Chun Street and Tung Lo Wan Road, and Wun Sha Street is the best place to watch. Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance was first performed in 1880 to ward off a plague and it has evolved into an annual festive activity. It was inscribed on China's National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2011. In recent years, a small 20-metre LED dragon carried by children has been introduced to inherit this tradition.

This episode invites audiences to step into the slow-paced world of Spanish culinary culture. Starting with morning favorites like the Spanish potato omelette (Tortilla de Patatas) and crispy churros, the show explores the relaxed philosophy behind Spain's traditional five-meal-a-day lifestyle. We get an up-close look at the exquisite knife skills of a professional Spanish ham carver (Cortador de Jamón), learning the secrets behind ham grading, artistic plating, and tasting techniques. We then join the chefs to uncover the rich history of tapas, as well as the cherished social etiquette of sobremesa—the art of lingering around the table for conversation long after the meal is finished.

Dr. Lee Shau Kee, with extraordinary wisdom and a keen business eye, successfully founded a real-estate-centered enterprise. Dr. Lee manages his wealth through the “principle of gathering and dispersing,” and upholds the philosophy of “one must excel in both earning and giving.” He channeled his wealth into society and the country: building a hospital, donating to schools, and establishing scholarships—providing opportunities for citizens and young people.

In a landscape where public and non-public economic sectors coexist, how does the state ensure joint development and shared prosperity? Articles 6 and 11 of the Constitution state that the country takes socialist public ownership as the foundation, while at the same time encouraging diverse forms of ownership, such as individually owned and private businesses, to develop together, so as to promote the sound operation of the socialist market economy.
