		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve talked about how important numbers, and playing upon the sound of numbers, is in Chinese.  For example, 8 is a lucky number because it sounds like the word for &#8220;to get rich, and 4 is an unlucky number because it sounds like the word for &#8220;death&#8221;.  Well, that&#8217;s basically Chinese for you:  everything sounds [...]]]></description>
