The Chinese characters are hieroglyphical. The earlier a stage at which they were found during the course of their evolution, the closer they would resemble the objects or concepts they represent. Take for example, the Chinese character "home/family". Doesn't it look like many people living under one big, stable roof?

Among all Chinese characters, I particularly like this character because it brings harmony & warmth, and it shoulders responsibility. Also, this character appeared, respectively, in my great-grandfather's (Kok Kah, translation: a Country) and step-grandfather's name (Kah Teck, translation: a man who is efficacious).
