Horse 飲水思源 (HK$16,800)

2022
The Chinese phrase "飲水思源" (yǐn shuǐ sī yuán) can be translated into English as "When drinking water, remember the source." This proverbial phrase is often used to remind people to be grateful and respectful towards those who have helped them in some way, such as their parents, teachers, or mentors. It emphasizes the importance of acknowledging one's roots and the people who have supported and contributed to one's success or well-being. Just as we cannot drink water without a source, we cannot achieve success or happiness without the support and guidance of others. Therefore, the phrase encourages us to always remember and appreciate our sources of inspiration, knowledge, and support.
