When a son was born to Confucius, the king of Lu sent over a carp as present. Confucius named his son Carp. The wise say a carp leaping over the dragon gate is a very lucky sign. My father says he named me Cloud because I was born in the year of the dragon: there are always clouds following a dragon. Confucius’ son died an early death. My father has only three daughters.
