We present a very elementary construction (Berglund-Hübsch-Krawitz) of two Calabi-Yau varieties, which are symmetric in the sense of mirror symmetry. We give a proof of their symmetry by introducing the Landau-Ginzburg model. More generally, the Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence allows us to approach Gromov-Witten theory for Calabi-Yau varieties via a quantum theory of singularities. We will present the first results in this direction, joint work with Yongbin Ruan.
