Traditional or simplified Chinese Characters and pinyin
Ox is placed second in the 12 Chinese zodiac. Chinese respect the ox for its strength and hardworking spirit. In modern Chinese, 'niu' also means somebody is very good at doing a thing. As for Westerners, bulls are generally viewed negatively, thanks to their aggressive nature. Cows are considered the "cutest" of the three. In fact, in the US, people often decorate their homes with pictures of cows. The animal is associated with the comfort and quiet of a country home.
Fortune - This is a year of fortune for you, but there may still be a few tricky moments ahead. Be diligent, for some minor mistake will deprive you of the success that has been already around the corner.

Talented Disabled Calligraphy Artist creates this calligraphy artwork!
When I first saw a person without hands who could not only write but also became a good calligrapher, I was shocked. (See photo on the left）
