Currently, we see a lot of establishments that have 168 on it. Previously we only see this on car plates, mobile phone number, and now on the name of the establishments such as restaurants, malls, internet shops, residential projects, etc... (like 168 Mall in Divisioria, Manila )
168 in Chinese is 一六八(pinyin: yi liu ba, Fujian: chi lok huat) and it is sounds like (homophone) 一路發 (pinyin: yi lu fa, Fujian: chi lo huat) means one way luck. In Chinese language we have a lot of homophone, same sound different meaning. We can create a sentence by using number and here are some examples:
- 9413 - 九死一生 - 90% of dying and 10% chance of living
- 49 - dead forever
- 54 - will not die 無死
- 888 - 發發發 (luck luck luck)
So as we see even on Internet we can see a lot of people specially Chinese on the Internet adding this number on their user names or email addresses
