CAHAI 2026 VIP EVENT
Gathered by the Sea Breeze — A Tribute to CAHAI
The sea breeze gently drifts our way,
Sunlight dances across the green,
Where sky and ocean meet afar,
And laughter fills the scene.
We came from near and far,
With familiar smiles and joyful hearts,
Reunited after time apart,
Beneath this endless blue sky,
We wrote our friendship into summer once again.
Smoke rises gently from the grill,
Tables overflow with wonderful food
Lamb skewers, grilled steak, fresh shrimp and wine,
But most precious of all,
Are the heartfelt laughs shared around every table.
Some tend the grill,
Some raise a glass and share their stories,
Some capture every precious moment.
Children run freely across the grass,
While friends gather beneath the shade of the trees.
CAHAI is more than a name,
It is a bridge that brings us together,
Turning strangers into friends,
Acquaintances into kindred spirits,
And every gathering
Into a memory to treasure.
The sea breeze will carry away the summer heat,
And time will carry many moments away,
But today’s smiles will remain.
Because here, we once
Watched the sea together,
Raised our glasses together,
Laughed together,
And left behind the most beautiful summer.
May the friendship of CAHAI last forever.
May every gathering be like today
Bright with sunshine, gentle with sea breezes,
With loved ones near and hearts even closer,
And laughter that never fades.
海风轻轻吹过来，
阳光洒满青青草，
远处海天相接，
近处笑声一片。
我们从四面八方而来，
带着熟悉的笑脸，
也带着久别重逢的喜悦。
在这一片蓝天下，
把友情重新写进夏天。
烤架上升起袅袅烟火，
桌上摆满美味佳肴，
羊肉串、烤牛排、鲜虾与美酒，
还有最珍贵的
一桌一桌真诚的欢笑。
有人忙着烧烤，
有人举杯畅谈，
有人记录下每一个瞬间。
孩子们奔跑在草地，
朋友们相聚在树荫之间。
CAHAI，
不只是一个名字，
更像一座桥，
把我们连接在一起；
让陌生成为朋友，
让相识成为知己，
让每一次相聚，
都成为值得珍藏的回忆。
海风会吹走夏日的炎热，
岁月也会带走许多时光，
但今天的笑容不会消失。
因为我们曾在这里
一起看海，
一起举杯，
一起欢笑，
一起留下最美的夏天。
愿 CAHAI 友谊长存，
愿每一次相聚都如今天
阳光明媚，海风温柔，
人还在，心还近，
笑声永远在。
