My name is Chan Zai. I was born in a walled village of the Tang clan in Lung Yeuk Tau, New Territories, which has a history of over 500 years. I have been filled with curiosity and pride for this familiar land since I was young. I was born in the auspicious old walled village, gazing at the lush green mountains in the distance and the meandering Wutong River, which made me feel the unique charm of this land from an early age. Our ancestors carefully chose this site and built sturdy high walls of blue bricks, which not only defended against pirate attacks but also provided a cool and pleasant shelter from the heat. Although the village gate is narrow, it serves its defensive purpose well, making it difficult for outsiders to invade easily. The ancient well beside the gate is a vital water source for the villagers, ensuring water security when enemies approach. As I walk into the village, the neatly arranged houses are hidden beneath the greenery, exuding an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. The ancestral hall towers into the clouds, with dragon-head wood carvings and crane reliefs inside, showcasing the profound historical and cultural heritage of the Tang clan. During major festivals, the villagers actively participate, ringing the ancient bronze bell in unison, praying for the blessings of our ancestors. I especially love to visit the Tin Hau Temple, where after lighting an incense stick, I listen to the miraculous stories of the Goddess of Heaven and the Earth God, hoping they will bless me with safety and health. The nearby Chong Him Hall is also a favorite of mine, filled with countless memories from my childhood. Every time I step into this familiar historic site, I can't help but feel: I am so fortunate to be born in such a place rich in history and culture. I will study hard to inherit the wisdom of my ancestors, ensuring that this treasured land is passed down through generations and thrives.

In the quiet village of Lumina, the stars in the sky glimmered brighter than anywhere else in the world. Legend said it was because of a magical lantern kept in the center of the village, which absorbed the light of falling stars to keep darkness at bay. The lantern was cared for by the Star-Gatherer, an elderly woman named Miren, who was the only one who knew how to collect the falling stars. One day, Miren’s lantern began to dim, and the village feared that the stars might stop shining. Miren, too old to climb the Starry Peak where the brightest stars fell, sought help. A curious and brave child named Alina volunteered to go. She had a secret: she had always talked to the stars and believed they listened. Armed with a tiny shard of starlight given to her by Miren, Alina embarked on her journey. Along the way, she encountered challenges: a mischievous wind that tried to blow her off course, a grumpy mountain spirit guarding the path, and a river of glowing water that demanded a toll of kindness to cross. Alina’s courage and compassion turned each challenge into an ally. The wind carried her higher, the spirit gave her a map of the peak, and the river gave her glowing water to refill the lantern. When she reached the summit, Alina found the largest, most radiant star ready to fall. She whispered to it, asking for its light to save her village. The star replied, "If you promise to share my light with the world, I will fill your lantern." Alina agreed, and the lantern was restored, shining brighter than ever. When she returned to the village, the lantern’s light not only kept the darkness away but also allowed the stars to be seen in every corner of the world.

I knew Harvey in play school, even before my sister Sylvie did. He fell in love with her, and she probably saved him from himself. Each to her own tastes, I always say, for I could never have lived with a man like him. Harvey was an oddball even at age 2. He played only with toys of a single colour. The triangle, square and circle all had to be red, or all blue, otherwise, he wouldn’t fit them into his puzzle. All his toy cars had to be black. If they were blue or yellow, his dad had to paint them black, or he wouldn’t touch them. And every night, he parked them beside his bed in tidy rows. If you pushed one out of place inadvertently, he’d get out of bed and settle the lot again.

Sami’s little sister accidentally knocks down his favorite toy tower, and he feels a storm of anger inside! But his grandmother teaches him that just like a storm passes, his anger can too—if he learns how to control it with patience and dhikr.
