Q: whats up with the car plate numbers in china? 京A－8888 湖 B－8888？
if you see a luxary car or a good looking ride here in china you will find out that 99% of those cars licence plate number are in serial numbers like 京 J 8888. here in china if you want to know a rich person look at his/her car plate number if its in series like 1111, 2222, 3333, 5555, 6666, 7777, 8888 or 9999 then u know the person paid a huge amount of money for the plate number. chinese people dont like the number 4 because its sounds like si 四 4 “si 死 ” means to die in chinese. next time you see a car in china check the car plate number and you will find out that 99. 9 % of those cars dnt come with the number 4, its rare to see 4 on a private car plate number. some chinese dnt believe this si 死 like some taxi drivers dnt mind having a plate number with 4 on it. chinese say ba 八: 8 is the best number in china. lol whats your best number?
Obioma, it is not "plant number", but plate number.
That aside, the number to have in a license plate is 8. Next to 8, it will be six, sometimes nine.
My favorite number (because it was my mother's favorite) will be "7", but if you can keep a secret, privately I do favor 8 over 7.

Hey, my mother was also born on the 7th, in February of 1923. Great woman, marrid to the same man for 57 years, and a happy household. Many thanks for your kind words, I truly do not deserve it, I just try hard to give complete replies, only to those questions I do know some answers.
