These peaches are available at a Fruits Shop on Jalan Bukit Baru, Melaka and you can find this shop located opposite the N3 Auto or rather the Volkswagen Showroom.

One peach is on sale for Ringgit Malaysia Ten. These peaches are from the flowers during last August on ACN Orchards in Australia.

Peaches are plucked from the deciduous tree native to the region of Northwest China and were cultivated as far back as 8,000 years ago.

Peaches are delicious summer fruit in Australia and they are a go-after in Melaka during the Chinese New Year.

In Chinese mythology, peaches are consumed by immortals due to their mystic virtue of conferring longevity to all who eat them.

Sun Wukong eaten one when he was asked to protect them as the Guardian of The Heavenly Peach Garden before a Peach Banquet for members of the Heaven. One peach of immortality would give you over 3,000 years of life.

These are Sun Wukong capabilities :

• He can lift 7,960 kilograms of weight
• He can travel 21,675 kilometres in one somersault
• and many other magical strength

On Chu Xi Ye, Chinese pay respect to their ancestor during the day, and so these peaches you see above are on the altar of my ancestor tablet.

Only after this filial gesture to the ancestor,  we are comfortable to gather for A Family Reunion.

A Family Reunion :

• is a time to share old stories

• is a time to make new memories

• is a time to see each other

• is a time for rebonding
