Qu Lihua said: "I also remember that when Zhou Sen went to Singapore, he also heard the legend of the lion's head and fishtail, and later people used the lion's head and fishtail to become the symbol of Singapore, and it is the same here, starting from a beautiful legend, which also represents the history and culture here." ”
