📜History
“In Cantonese, 168 sounds like 'prosperity all the way.' Business cards print it on purpose.”
168 sounds like '一路发' (yī lù fā) — 'prosperity all the way' in Cantonese. It's printed on red envelopes, stamped onto license plates, and bid up at phone-number auctions. In Chinese business culture, 168 isn't a number — it's a financial prayer you carry in your pocket.
