They say in China that to watch to the moon makes you feel closer to those who are far away.

So this time to start the year I bring you this little legend about the moon, very known in China as well as in Japan, to greet everyone, from far and near, that I have had the fortune to meet thanks to stories.

As a Chinese legend goes, every night, when it gets dark, Yuè Xia Lǎo, the old man of the moon, comes down to the earth to tie a red string around the wrist of every newborn baby. This string connects all the people that the baby is destined to meet, and as he or she grows, the red string will shorten, getting closer all of them, whatever the moment of their lives when they have to meet. The string may stretch or even tangle, but regardless of time and distance, this string will never break, because the legend says…

that nothing can break
the red string of fate of the moon.

I wish you a 2017 full of stories in good company
