Memory story · made up to help you remember

“Lend a helping hand! Imagine holding a sturdy branch to steady yourself as you walk or to prop up a heavy structure. This radical is the symbol of support, delegation, and the many branches of a family or business. When you see it, think of a strong hand providing the stability needed to grow and expand.”
