China Chronicle: A Rabbit Well Wishes

Printer-friendly version

Within a couple of days, we will let the flamboyant tiger go, make a dramatic shift of tempo into embracing a soft toned ' Year of Rabbit '. By all counts, the nation has already in a high gear of celebrated sentiment sinking deeply into an all out extravagance food indulges and countless playful activities. As for me, I am trying to piece together all the puzzles of information and news on every rabbit attribute rushing in for a manuscript written prior to dead line when the pendulum swings to twelve midnight on Feb 2 - the final call on the year of tiger.
 
Outwardly, a rabbit is a cute, furry and a lovable pet. It is a representation of a soft touch and an amiable creature who has no enemies except friends. In fact, the creation of Playboy Bunnies in the seventies that drive men wild was based on those assumptions. 
      
The bottom line is, looks can be deceiving. One can never judge a book solely by its cover. In appearance, rabbit displays the side of her venerability and her defensiveness. In reality, her inner strength is the displacement of her venerability that fool the world. A Chinese idiom once said, ' Tall tree would attract unwarranted fearful and destructive wind '. Yours over-shinning outlook can open  doors for jealousy and enemies who bend to destroy you. People would not give a second thought to gun down a tiger, but you really have to be a cruel hearted person to kill a rabbit. Rabbit, by all means is invincible. While her powerful counterpart liked the fearsome dinosaur perished in the face of the earth thousands of years ago. The rabbit's ultra-low profile character keeps her specimen strive among a jungle of wild animals. It is the soft power she possessed that keep her kind intact centuries after centuries. A blueprint of survival kit that human should really examine and learn for.
 
The ' Year of Rabbit ' will be foretold as another remarkable year for China and the world. This intelligent animal will contemplate us to all the good lucks and grand fortune.
 
To celebrate this mojo event, I propose a toast and best wishes to my dear friends and families for the upcoming 'Year of the Rabbit'. Here I write.
 

Rabbit, rabbit, thou love you so. You will bring us a new chapter of incredible life.
 
Rabbit, rabbit, thy fond of you so. You will empower us a year filled with joy and happiness.
 
Rabbit, rabbit, thee care of you so. You will shelter us free from natural and human disasters.
 
Rabbit, rabbit, thine compassionate of you so. You will praise us of our health and well beings.
