Magic Monk has hit 888 Followers and why is that important? 魔術僧到達888追隨者了。那又如何?

Hi all, thanks to your support, I have recently just hit 888 followers. I waited for this to occur and took a screenshot of it. You will know why I did that very soon.

大家好。感謝大家的支持，魔術僧已經達到888追隨者。以下是我等在888的那一刻瞬間截图。

The reason why this is a significant milestone, is because 8 is the luckiest number in Chinese culture. In Chinese eight is pronounced "ba", which is very similar to "fa", which means to make a fortune in the chinese language. In Chinese, "wo fa le" means I have made a lot of money.

因為8對中國人是特別幸運的數字，我認為這也是一個值得一提的里程碑。這一段是跟老外說明一下，八與發的發音很接近。

The opening ceremony of the Olympics in China was on 08/08/2008, at 8:08pm. I think this kind of proves that the number 8 is associated with prosperity in Chinese culture. At the same time, it was the first and only time that China topped the gold medal tally. Maybe this is really a lucky number? My mobile number also has 8 in it, which makes me feel kind of lucky.

話說北京奧林匹克是2008年八月八日晚上八點八分開幕，而那次的奧林匹克也是中國史上第一次以及唯一一次金牌數字第一名。或許八這個數字是真的很幸運。碰巧我的電話號碼裡面也有一個八。

In fact, this number is so lucky, such that around the same time as I got 888 followers, Steem has experienced the largest increase in history, and is now at approximately $7 USD.

在我達到888追隨者的同時，剛好又碰上Steem大漲到$7美金，不知是純粹巧合還是冥冥中注定。

Steem on, my friends!

大家加油，繼續Steem吧!
