狼 Láng Wolf Mnemonic: "Long howl" - Wolves are known for their long howls. Radicals: 狼 (wolf) - the character itself represents the animal. In the snowy mountains of Huashan, a young boy named Jin was terrified of the wolves that howled at night. One evening, he decided to face his fears and ventured out. To his surprise, he found a wolf with a broken leg. Instead of running away, he helped the wolf, who howled a long, grateful sound. From that day on, Jin learned that the long howl of the wolf was not a sign of danger, but a call for friendship. "Láng," he chuckled, "I guess your long howl means you just wanted a buddy!"

善事
善事 Shànshì Good deeds Mnemonic: "Shan't sit" - You shan't sit idly by when good deeds are needed. Radicals: 善 (good) + 事 (affair/matter). In a bustling town, a lazy cat named Miao loved lounging in the sun. One day, he saw a bird struggling to find food. "I shan't sit here while others are in need!" he declared, surprising himself. Miao gathered scraps and shared them with the bird, earning the title of "Good Deed Cat." From that day on, he realized that doing善事 was much more rewarding than napping, and he became the town's hero, all while still sneaking in a few sunbaths.
