    To Chinese, the Year of Ox signifies a time for perseverance, resilience and forcefulness. Ox is a symbol of hope in time of hardship. Let it be so.

    Tighten our belts to face the challenges brought by the global economic downturn, for there will always be silver linings in the dark clouds.

    Things will certainly become better in the coming year, the Year of Tiger. Be patient.
