Once upon a time in a small village, there lived a boy named Ben. Ben loved sweets—candy, cookies, and chocolates were his favorite. But one day, Ben fell ill, and the doctor told his mother, "Ben must not eat any sweets. They will make his condition worse." His mother, though sad for Ben, promised to keep him safe. She kept the sweets away and prepared delicious, healthy meals to help him get better. But Ben, unable to resist his cravings, began sneaking sweets when his mother wasn't looking. Each time, he told himself, "Just one won't hurt." And when his mother asked if he had eaten any sweets, Ben would shake his head and say, "No, Mama." Days turned into weeks, and Ben's condition didn't improve. He grew weaker and weaker. One day, as he lay in bed feeling worse than ever, he finally admitted to his mother, "Mama, I've been eating sweets and lying about it. I'm sorry." His mother hugged him tightly, her eyes filled with tears. "Oh, Ben," she said gently, "I only asked you to avoid sweets because I love you and want you to get better. Lying only kept me from helping you." From that day on, Ben decided to listen to his mother and the doctor. Slowly but surely, he began to feel better. Though he missed sweets, he realized that his health and honesty were far more important.

Turbo was no ordinary turtle. He loved to zoom around on his skateboard, which Max had specially made for him. Every morning, Max and Turbo would race through the park. Turbo would kick off with his little legs, and whoosh, he’d glide across the pavement, his shell gleaming in the sunlight. Max would chase after him on his scooter, laughing as Turbo always took the lead. One day, they decided to explore a new path in the park. It was lined with trees and had a mysterious tunnel at the end. Max and Turbo, being the adventurous duo they were, didn’t hesitate for a second. They sped down the path and zoomed into the tunnel. Inside the tunnel, they found themselves in a magical world where animals could talk, and the trees whispered secrets to each other. Turbo, excited to chat, made friends with a wise old owl named Oliver, who challenged him to a race around the enchanted lake. The race began, and all the animals gathered to watch. Max cheered loudly for Turbo. Around and around they went, Turbo on his skateboard and Oliver swooping through the air. It was a close race, but in the end, Turbo’s speed on wheels won the day!

When it was time to go home, Oliver gave Max a special acorn as a souvenir, which he promised would bring them back to the magical world whenever they wished.

From that day on, Turbo’s skateboard races became even faster, and Max’s smile even brighter, knowing they had a magical friend just a tunnel away. And every now and then, they’d sneak back to the park, hoping to find the tunnel and visit their enchanted friends once again.

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.
