The Story of Number “8”
Number “8” has Chinese Pinyin pronunciation “bā”, which sounds similar to the pronunciation of Chinese word “发” (Pinyin = fā), meaning “wealth” or “prosper”. That’s why the Chinese is always in love with number “8” when it comes to choosing their vehicle registration plates, mobile numbers, and even domain names.
Number 8 is always viewed as an auspicious number that will bring good luck. Although the belief is without any scientific proof, statistics never fail to show how much Chinese are obsessed with number “8”:
1) In Chengdu, China, an all 8 mobile number was sold for USD $270,723 (approximately SGD S$365,134)
2) Most of the airlines companies such as, United Airlines, Air Canada, KLM, Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines have flight numbers starting with number “8”, especially for flights to Asian destinations, such as China and Korea.
3) In Hangzhou, a man offered to sell his license plate, A88888 for RMB 1.12 million (roughly SGD S$226,066).
