蛇年快樂！！！啦啦啦~~祝大家身體健康，心想事成！！！ 大吉大利！！！
Tomorrow is Chinese new year, I did banners for this website and FB page. Happy Year of Snake !!! The Chinese words “蛇我其誰” in these 2 banners means “If I can’t do it, who can? ” In Chinese, we like to use pun, “蛇我其誰” is a  phonetic pun, “蛇” means “snake” , “蛇我其誰”=”捨我其誰” is a Chinese idioms, “蛇” sounds like “捨”, and this year is year of snake, so I use “蛇” (snake) to replace “捨” (except) in this Chinese idioms. Sorry, it’s too difficult to explain Chinese idioms.
