Chinese Pets,At one of Shanghai's streets, I found shopping with crickets. In China, cricket symbolizes summer, courage, and rebirth. Chirping cricket was often a pet. These animals were kept in boxes or cages, and was considered a symbol of long life, happiness and luck.Often in China can be found old men sitting on park benches, quietly listening to the crickets coming from the reed boxes. This choir of crickets owners. They believe that their pets gave them longevity and peace. A little further, a group of men huddled, something carefully looking out on the ground. They are much shouting and gesticulating violently. It happens that it comes up and melee. These are amateurs fighting crickets. Although gambling is banned in China, there is little by little and little by little bet, usually not more than fifty yuan.
