Reverse

Like the strong-backed tortoise with its steady, relaxed gait, the Chinese cherish harmony - and the longevity it brings. Indeed, the tortoise's long life span makes it the perfect animal to symbolize that most cherished state. Longevity. - a blessing - and wealth beyond compare.

It is the greatest wish one can hope for another. In Canada, where multitudes live in harmony, the promise of longevity rings true in the welcoming shade of the maple tree. Just as the maple leaf inspired Europeans centuries ago, it remains a beacon for Canada's newest generation of immigrants.

For them, Canada represents endless possibilities: a place where blessings of longevity can be held in their hand - and experienced across the land.
