Idon't remember when I first heard that people born in the Year of the Sheep had miserable lives. I think I was around 14 or 15, and my mother told it to me.

I have a few friends who were born in the Year of Sheep, and most are from average families and don't have rich or powerful parents.

Most of my friends believe that to some extent fate is related to one's zodiac sign, but I don't quite believe it. Every year, there are lots of new babies coming to the world, and they cannot have similar characters or fates.

My husband has a tiger zodiac sign, and my mother was initially against our relationship, because a sheep could be eaten by a tiger. But it turns out we are very happy together.

When I meet obstacles in life, I accept the reality peacefully because I tend to think it is my destiny, and then will just try hard to overcome the obstacles.

Sometimes I think I am lucky to be born in the Year of the Sheep. Most people tell me that they like people who were born in the Year of the Sheep, and I often get help from friends when I need it.
