Carved with a pair of chunky Giant Salamander fish swimming above a pile of Reishi Lingzhi Fungus of Eternal Life freely. They surrounded by beautiful Lotus Leaves.The fish is a kind of auspicious animal in China. It is called YU 鱼 in Chinese and the word remaining is also called YU in Chinese. That it to say the fish is a symbol of remaining and people keep the fish in the hope of having enough food remains every year so they don?t need to worry about the problem of the famine. The lotus is called LIAN 莲 in Chinese, and the word year after year is also pronounced LIAN. So this sculpture was inspired by an old Chinese idiom LIAN LIAN YOU YU (means people could have a lot of food and money remains year after year!)
