I was born in the historically and culturally rich land of Lung Yeuk Tau. This is the home of the Tang family, with roots tracing back to the Song Dynasty royal lineage. From a young age, I was captivated by the ancient Chinese architecture here—the majestic Song Ling Tang Gong Hall, the peaceful Tin Hau Temple, and the well-preserved walled villages. The community of Lung Yeuk Tau exudes a strong sense of tradition. Every Lunar New Year’s Day, we sincerely pay homage to our ancestors, offering sacrifices at their altars. On the second day of the new year, we host a vegetarian feast to welcome distant relatives, celebrating the joy of family reunion. The decennial Tai Ping Ching Jiao is the highlight of our community—lively parades and bustling temple fairs reflect the rich culture of Lung Yeuk Tau. I especially enjoy strolling along the charming streets of the old and new villages. The rustic blue brick walls, the scattered houses, and the mysterious watchtowers all radiate the unique charm of ancient Chinese villages. Every time I pass by, I listen intently to the stories of the past and present, as if I can feel the wisdom and footprints of my ancestors. People say that Lung Yeuk Tau, just like its name suggests, is full of life and vitality—a place where dragons soar and tigers leap. It carries the historical memories of countless years while thriving with energy, where traditional culture and modern life coexist harmoniously. As a child of this land, I take pride in my heritage and am determined to preserve its unique cultural legacy, ensuring that this magical land endures forever.

Dans un petit village entouré de collines verdoyantes, un mystère revenait chaque année : qui réveillait le printemps ? Léa et Tom, deux frères et sœurs curieux, avaient remarqué qu’un matin, sans prévenir, les fleurs s’ouvraient, les oiseaux chantaient plus fort et l’air sentait bon le miel et l’herbe fraîche. — Cette fois, on va découvrir qui apporte le printemps ! déclara Tom, déterminé. Armés de leur carnet et d’un crayon, ils partirent explorer la forêt. En marchant, ils croisèrent Dame Coccinelle qui se reposait sur une feuille. — Dame Coccinelle, est-ce vous qui réveillez le printemps ? demanda Léa. — Oh non, répondit-elle en riant. Mais quand il arrive, je profite du soleil pour étirer mes ailes rouges et noires ! Plus loin, ils rencontrèrent M. Hérisson, qui bâillait à s’en décrocher la mâchoire. — Est-ce vous, M. Hérisson, qui ramenez le printemps ? — Pas du tout ! J’hibernais sous un tas de feuilles, et c’est la chaleur qui m’a réveillé. Les enfants continuèrent leur quête jusqu’à la clairière où dansaient des papillons multicolores. — Peut-être est-ce vous, les papillons, qui apportez le printemps ? — Nous ? Non, mais quand il arrive, nous sortons de nos cocons pour colorer le ciel ! Déçus, Léa et Tom s’assirent sous un grand chêne. — Personne ne sait qui réveille le printemps… soupira Tom. Soudain, une douce brise caressa leurs visages et une voix murmurante s’éleva. — C’est la nature tout entière qui le réveille. Le soleil se fait plus chaud, la pluie nourrit la terre, les bourgeons grandissent, et petit à petit, tout s’éveille… Les enfants sourirent. Le printemps n’avait pas un seul gardien, mais un orchestre entier de saisons, de vent, de lumière et de vie. Heureux de leur découverte, ils rentrèrent chez eux, prêts à célébrer le retour du printemps en plantant des fleurs et en construisant un nichoir pour les oiseaux. Et depuis ce jour, à chaque printemps, ils prenaient le temps d’admirer la magie du réveil de la nature.

It was Thursday, and Mohan's class teacher announced a special potluck party for Friday to celebrate Janmashtami, which was coming up that weekend. She asked all the students to gather in a circle and placed a bowl in the centre. The bowl was filled with colourful chits, each one with the name of a different dish written on it. Excitement filled the classroom as each student took turns picking a chit from the bowl. Whatever dish was written on their chit was the one they needed to bring to the class party. Mohan's heart raced with curiosity about what he would get. With a mix of excitement and a little worry, he reached into the bowl, hoping that the dish he picked would be something his family could afford to bring to the party. As he slowly unfolded the chit, Mohan saw the word "K H E E R" written in big, bold letters. Mohan stood still in shock, knowing that preparing "Kheer" required costly items such as milk, sugar, and nuts that his family could not afford.
