What Chinese Symbol Are You?

Mum made some "chinese chews" today. I don't know why they're called "chinese chews" but I remember going to Grandma's place and scarfing them down when I was Very Young in the mid 60s. The ingredient list reads like the list of things post-war Australia had an abundance of, when we had large amounts of a very limit range of produce.

I had a flashback to sitting in the sunroom of the house in Bexley, listening to the adults talk about boring things, and waiting for the next plane to fly overhead as it came in to land at Kingsford Smith Airport. I just remember the Connies, and I remember the first 747.
