The Year of the Rabbit(兔) will begin on February 3, 2011. We Chinese use 12 different animals to stand for（象征）the order of our birth year. What does it mean to be a “rabbit” ? The rabbit is a symbol(象征) for kind, elegance(优雅) and a love of beauty. People born in the Year of the Rabbit are kind and quick-minded(思维敏捷的). Although they are sometimes shy, they have a strong mind and will run after their dreams all their lives.
Rabbit people are talented and they like artistic activities, such as music and painting. They are so kind and well organized (有良好组织能力的) that they can be great teachers. There are some famous people who were born in the Year of the Rabbit. For example, actress US Angelina Jolie and England soccer star David Beckham. In China, famous director Zhang Yimou and kung fu star Jet Li are rabbits, too.
