Pull Shoots Help Growth

According to legend, in ancient times, there was a farmer who felt that his wheat was growing too slowly. He couldn't wait any longer, and had an idea. He went into his field and pulled each of his wheat shoots higher in the soil. Happily he went home and to his family said: "Ai ya, I'm so tired. Today I pulled on every one of my wheat shoots and made them grow taller." His son heard this and knew it was a disaster. He went out to the field and saw that all the young plants had wilted and died.

Chinese idiom: (ya miao zhu zhang - literally "pull shoots help grow")

Meaning: Impatience ruins the results.

Our five nights at Guilin Ming Garden were great as well! It is certainly our favorite place in China. The apartment is remodeled, extremely clean and has a great view; having internet access is a nice touch and there is plenty of room for our entire family. After a long day of fun, it was relaxing to come home to delicious home cooked meals prepared by our nanny Mrs Huang.She made us feel right at home with her traditional Cantonese home cooked dinners: her normal dinner consist of soup, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes; very much like the meals our Cantonese parents made for us when we were younger and the meals had brought back fond memories.
