This work mainly tells the story that my sister and I who are fraternal twins. We were born in China, an ancient country with a history of 3,000 years. In our hometown, there is a traditional custom for the babies after birth. We would wear a necklace or bracelet with blessings placed by our families. These pieces of jewelry have the words "peace and health" engraved on them, which mean the jewelry can protect us from illness and grow up healthy.
