Episode 10 - Pool of Fate
















Pool of Fate
Children from the Ring (II)

This is the Pool of Fate in the Temple of the Deity of Matchmaking (See Episode Two and Fifteen for more) in Hangzhou, China.

In the centre of the pool, six children sitting happily together in a ring.

It is said that these six children represent wealth, love, marriage, art, career and off-spring respectively. Before paying tribute to the Deity of Matchmaking, people will first come to the pool, throw in a coin, and make a wish.

How many people are lucky enough to have all six children knocking at their door?
