Before the 2013 Spring Festival, Beijing Review reporter Ji Jing interviewed four people born in the Year of the Snake, each with their own unique stories representing a different generation. They shared their life experiences during the past 12 years (the Chinese zodiac is based on a 12-year cycle) and their hopes for the future. Although their life trajectories differ, they share one thing in common: When asked whether they possess the indomitable personality of the snake, they all said yes.
