Please support Xi Han’er Bakery—where happiness is crafted with heartfelt care

The name “Xi Han’er” has replaced past terms with negative connotations, becoming synonymous in the hearts of the Chinese public with joy, warmth, and resilience. The character ‘Xi’ means happiness or joy, while ‘Han’ can be broken down into ‘gan’ (dare) and ‘xin’ (heart); when pronounced in Taiwanese Hokkien, it sounds like ‘gan xin’, meaning touching or moving for not fearing difficulties and overcoming adversity. The character ‘Er’ signifies growth and hope.

A single learning opportunity or job can bring to people with intellectual disabilities the hope of infinite possibilities in life, as well as the joy derived from contributing through service. Their dreams aren’t grand—they just want to stand on their own in society. The Han’er don’t give up on any chance; they offer warm smiles from the corners of the city, standing with slightly bent postures. That’s why you can find cakes and cookies made by their own hands at places like Xi Han’er Bakery or Xi Han’er Restaurant... Having learned a skill, they can be independent and even help more people.
