In ancient Chinese culture, the pear is regarded as a symbol of immortality due to the fact that pear trees can live for a very long time.However, there is an interesting custom that lovers and friends would never share the same pear. Ancient Chinese believed that dividing a pear and share it would lead to separation as in Chinese, the word fen li (sharing a pear) is pronounced the same way as separation. So, in China, you always have to eat a whole delicious pear by yourself.
