I was born in this historically and culturally rich hometown of Lung Yeuk Tau, but I grew up abroad. Every time I return here, it feels like stepping into a world where time has reversed. Every brick and tile here tells a story of the past. The old walled village, situated on the mountainside, stands with its majestic blue brick walls, seemingly narrating tales of repelling pirates. The steps in front of the village gate are cleverly designed as a defensive position, making it difficult for enemies to attack. The small holes and high platforms on the walls were used to monitor outside movements, ensuring the villagers' safety. Such intelligent architectural designs leave me in awe of my ancestors' wisdom. Passing through the ancient gate, I see orderly houses with winding paths paved with blue stones. Not far away, the grand ancestral hall—Song Ling Tang Gong Hall—showcases our family's long history. The exquisite wood carvings and murals inside the hall reflect our family’s glory and traditions. Beside the ancestral hall stands the Tin Hau Temple, with its red walls and yellow tiles radiating a sacred atmosphere. The ancient bronze bell inside tells of countless pious wishes, as if feeling the divine protection. The surrounding statues of the Earth God and the Goddess of Heaven further immerse me in the rich local beliefs. When I step into other walled villages like Dong Ge and Wing Ning, I can still sense the vigor of their long history. Although many walls are now damaged, I can still imagine the tense scenes of repelling pirates. The altars and other structures make me feel the sincere hopes of my ancestors for wealth and success. As I stroll through this culturally rich land, I can almost feel the footsteps of my ancestors and the vitality of this home. No matter where I go, my roots will always be here—in Lung Yeuk Tau.

Once upon a time there was a little mouse named Tito, who lived in a flowery field near a forest. Tito was small, but he had a big heart and a special dream: he wanted to touch the moon! Every night he looked up at the sky and dreamed of reaching that shining light. One day, Tito decided to ask his friends in the forest for help. “How can I reach the moon?” he asked the wise owl. “The moon is far away, but if you believe, you will find a way!” she replied. Tito did not give up. He went to Leo the rabbit, who suggested: “Jump as high as you can!”. Tito tried, but the moon was still far away. Then he met Bruno the bear. “Use a tall ladder!”, Bruno said laughing. Tito built a ladder out of twigs, but it wasn’t enough. Sad, Tito lay down on the grass. Then he saw the reflection of the moon in a pond and understood: even if he couldn't touch the real moon, he could admire it every night and dream! From that day on, Tito understood that sometimes you don't need to reach the stars to be happy: you just need to look at them and never stop dreaming. 🌟 And they all lived happily ever after. 🐭🌕

One day, there were two siblings named Michii and Yuna. They had a plan to planting beans in their fields. “Please, sow some of these sprouts in the pots that are already in our fields!” Their mom told them to plant the green beans in pots in the field. The next day, they returned to the field to see the progress of the green beans they had planted yesterday. However, the mung bean plants planted by michii have not experienced the slightest growth, in contrast to Yuna's plants which have already sprouted two small leaves on their shoots. Yuna laughed at michii's plants that failed to grow. “Hahaha, your green beans don't have any progress to grow!” Yuna laughed when she seeing Michii’s plants because they don't have roots or leaves. Michii was saddened and disappointed to hear this, and even more so when he saw that his green bean plants were not growing at all. Michii replanted his green beans with new green beans, fertilized them, and watered them until the soil was moist enough. After a few days of this activity, Michii's green beans now grew with long roots, and quite a lot of leaves. His mother was proud when she heard his story when he returned from the field.

Lacie was never happier than when she was picking, holding or cuddling fluff.
