Memory story · made up to help you remember
“Look at those two wings pulling apart! They are in total disagreement, flying in opposite directions. This radical is the ultimate symbol of "NO" or "WRONG." When it appears in a kanji, it tells you that the meaning involves something negative, an injustice, or a denial of what is true or good.”
