The next thing she knew was that she was falling. She woke up in a hospital and her mom was there but not her sister. The two kids moved to Devon coast after that. They finally started living in a lighthouse and Olive worked as a postman passing parcels to villagers. Olive strongly believed that there were some secrets going on with local people.

People called them, along with Zhou, the“three evils”(三害) . One day, some villagers asked Zhou to help them kill t ho tiger and the monster. Zhou killed them after three days of fighting. The villagers thought he was dead, too. So, they celebrated his death. When Zhou finally came back, seeing this, he realized how much people hated him and decided to change. He visited a famous person named Lu Yun. Lu told him, “If one realizes what is good in the morning, he can change his behavior in the evening, Just do what you think is right.” From then on, Zhou became a good person and stopped bullying others. Later he became a great soldier and died for saving his country. In fact, it's not easy for us to see our own mistakes. It was good that Zhou was able to look at himself and make changes.

To truly understand Chinese culture, it may be a good idea to start from colors. ②Three main colors considered lucky in people's daily lives as well as on special occasions are red, yellow, and green. ③Red represents fire. It is the most popular color in China, in fact, the national color. It usually means happiness, success, and good fortune. Red is widely used during festivals and important events. Take the traditional Chinese wedding for example, double rows of red"Xi"(happiness) letters are pasted on gates and doors. People are also dressed in red during the event. Red envelopes which are filled with money are also given as gifts. ④Yellow represents earth. It is reserved for the emperor and symbolizes royalty. The first Emperor of China was known as the Yellow Emperor. China was often referred to as ' Yellow Earth', and its mother river is the Yellow River. This is the most important color in the ancient China. During the Song Dynasty, the emperor's palace was built in yellow. During Ming and Qing Dynasties, emperors were dressed in yellow. They rode in"yellow palace" carriages(轿子) and traveled on"yellow paths". If you take a look at the Forbidden City from Beijing Jing Mountain, you can see a sea of yellow roofs. ⑤Green is the color of wealth, hope, harmony and growth. Green also represents pure and clean. Buildings, banks, and restaurants are often painted in green. Packaging(包装) for milk is often in green to show that the milk is contamination free. People don't have to worry about anything when they drink it. ⑥Compared with red, yellow and green, white and black are considered to be unlucky colors. White has something to do with death. People usually wear white at funerals. And black means darkness or sometimes dishonesty.
