Chinese: Lucky 8

Got this from my cousin in Hong Kong: very interesting.

Chinese used to be very superstitious about "8" as lucky number - look at those "8's" (translated into English from original Chinese version) - can we really associate to anything "lucky"??  May be "coincidence" can only explains.......

01/25 : snow disaster

03/14 : Tibet rebellion

05/12 : Sichuan earthquake

1+2+5 = 08

3+1+4 = 08

5+1+2 = 08

08/08/08 = Beijing Olympics

The day when Sichuan earthquake took place was the 88th day before the opening of BJ Olympics on 08/08/08

"Sichuan四川 " in Chinese writing = 8 strokes

Sichuan = located at 8pm clock direction from Beijing

May 14 = 8th day in Lunar Calendar
