This tale is often used as a metaphor for personal growth, overcoming difficulties, and reaching one’s full potential. It’s frequently referenced in Chinese culture and art, representing ambition and the idea that great reward comes from great effort.
My last name is Yu, which is the same pronunciation as fish in Chinese, and Koi is my spirit animal. I always feel that I’m one of the billion koi putting all my effort into making it to the Dragon Gate. Even the chance to become the powerful dragon is weird; I won’t have any regrets if I try with all my strange. Although I’m still facing difficulties in my life, I believe it is just the progress to prove myself to be better. You may be the supporter who gives me more strange, and I always pray for all those awesome people who give me a hand. Any type of support is greatly appreciated! May you try your best and have an amazing life!
