Background info
The year 1989 is the Ji-si Year(snake year) according to the Chinese lunar calendar. Sometimes called small dragon, the snake moves swiftly without legs and can inject awe-inspiring poison, hence the respect as an intelligent animal by ancient people. With a lean and supple body and mind, it is regarded in China as a symbol of good luck.
