An old Chinese saying, says that \"A dragon will give birth to a dargon , phenix will give birth to phinix, and the son of a mouse could dig a hole into the ground\".

pyramid(金字塔)

Another saying is:\" If you plant a pumpkin seed, you will get pumpkin in auturm, if you plant seeds of bean, then you will get beans\".

In our notorious Cultrure Revolution, people believe that a child from \"Five kinds of black\" incude landlord, rich, right wing, anti-revolution and bad\" are also bad and should be responsible for the \"crime\" originated by his/her parents\"

But things are not so true from a long term view, that is just the initiation of the evolution of lifes. After thousands of hundred years, the son will be obviously different from his father.

Like father, like son.

This phrase suggests that the son is fantastic because of his father.
People can find it in New English-Chinese Dictionary.

A few days ago, I re-united with some old fellows. One guy has a very beautiful daughter. In particular, her eyes are so big and bright. Of course, all of us needed to flatter this guy. What I said is: "Like mother, like daughter." I am still delighted for my flattering.

If somebody says Ji-Ang's son(duaghter?) is so smart, I would follow hiim by saying "Like father, like son."
