Memory story · made up to help you remember
“Time stretches out like the silver hair of a wise elder! When you see these strokes, imagine a journey that goes on and on, or a leader who has seen many years. It is the radical of endurance and leadership, representing both the physical length of an object and the long-term authority of a chief.”
