The encyclopedia says,
"There are five elements of the Chinese zodiac: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. These are derived from the Five Elements Theory—or Wu Xing—a philosophy used to describe the relationship and interdependence between all things."
One day in Zhuhai Vincent Assante Di Cupillo and I set out in a car to find the elements and mix me up in them. Our mission failed because Fire turned out to be hard to find and because at some point we got our elements mixed up and ended up with Air not Wood. But the whole adventure was a wonderful day out and I love the thought of me posing on the edge of a gigantic metal platform in a bay in the Delta. It was truly a time of daring and danger.
