At the same time, Liú is also designed for people who willing to plan and prefer to leave something to be remembered differently.
Why does it look like this?
liú looks like an ordinary candleholder, but when the candle is ignited, the photo of the deceased person gradually appears behind the fire on the glass, and behind the glass is more memories of the people in the photo. Turning the candleholder gently around, the moment of remembrance begins. You can hear the song she or he once liked to sing, or the sound message left. You can also smell the perfume that the loved one used to use, or the tobacco smell that the person in the photo smoked. Liú hopes to preserve and awaken precious memories in a better way for you. After the commemoration, you turn back the candlestick, blow out the candle, and liú will turn to an ordinary candleholder again, and you can return to your present life.
