Standing before the tranquil tanks in an aquarium fills me with wonder and awe. The mesmerizing motion of water, the silent dance of fish, and the graceful glide of penguins transport me to an enchanted world. They evoke the Chinese idiom “海闊天空” — a reminder of life’s boundless possibilities and nature’s vast beauty, like how fish swim in the vast sea and birds soar in the open sky.
