In Chinese character 'ren' which means person is consist of two strokes. A leaf-descending stoke, a right-descending stroke and no supporting or other stroke. If it can be changed into horizontal stroke and lie on forever it is no problem. But if want to stand steadily,walk straightly and run quickly it is not easy. So 'ren(person)' felt very tired. In the end,'ren' can not endure it and find Nu Wa (a Chinese goddess who made men by moulding yellow clay),asked,'My goddess, why are you so closehanded when you made me. Only two legs? In the meanwhile, you give crab 8 legs, turtle 4 legs and mosquito 6 legs. It is unfair for me.' Nu Wa smiled and said,'Do you want to be crab, turtle or mosquito?' 'ren' shouted out,'I just make a analogy. No one want to be the animal.' Nu Wa did not smile again and said seriously,'I only give you two legs and want you understant that it is not easy to be a man.'
