'TWO' IN CANTONESE
MEANS 'EASY'.
WAS IT EASY, IN 2020?
Thanking CY Lin for this article.
(20)20 - a new decade. Year of the Rat - the leader of the pack in the Chinese zodiac calendar. It symbolises wealth and a new day. The number '2' in Cantonese sounds like 'easy'. 2020 - a year to look forward to with great expectations of ease, comfort and prosperity. It was reported that the number of marriages registered for 2020 to be the highest since past years. This would make for the year a bumper crop of babies.
Then real life turned into reel life. The Covid19 pandemic became a science fiction movie that held the audience in its grip of fear and terror. It released all manner of human behaviour - from the good to the very ugly. The maker of the movie can give it an ending that the audience leaves the theatre with a sigh of relief.
What about real life? What does the present situation promise? With Christmas in sight and acknowledging its significance, we can cling to our faith and pray for a better tomorrow. We stay hopeful.
A blessed Christmas and a happier 2021 to all readers, friends and contributing writers.
