Coming into this world on a starry starry night of a poor family but bless with a big wonderful and caring siblings. Warmest appreciations to all his loving siblings that can't be measured with any amount of money. Life's really wonderful in those days although sometimes they only ate congee with soya sauce. Humility is the highest virtue.
A kid who purposely dropout just to be near to their late beloved parents. Nowadays people thought to provide material wealth is call filial piety. So do cows and horses are provided. Is there any difference between them ? To the elderly, no other place is better than home sweet home in their old nest.
The Chinese celebrate the 9th day of the Chinese New Year on a large scale by offering varieties of foods and fruits to the Heavenly God for bringing them good health and prosperity. After the midnight praying, they will put either 2,3 or 5 oranges and some with "ang pow" onto a plate and place them on the altar of the God outside their home.
A loquacious and mischievous camaraderie kid at the tender age of sixteen who play Santa, was once caught "stealing" oranges from the altar by an uncle. The uncle cheekily threaten to tell Santa father that his son was "stealing" oranges unless he could explain why he only took two and left another three and the "ang pow" on the altar ?
Santa : What is the purpose of uncle with all these offering ?
Uncle: As an offering to Heavenly God for giving their families abundance of good health and prosperity.
Santa : In order not to disappoint uncle, God is not greedy and only took two and left the others for uncle
bless with more abundance of prosperity and good health in the coming year.
Uncle : Shock with the answer, the uncle scrub the head of Santa by giving him an "ang pow" with the word
" Son, you are going to be a filial son and an honest man in the future"
