People with yuan fen are destined to like one another; Friendship develops even if a thousand miles apart. But should yuan fen be absent between two individuals, They will remain strangers despite sitting face-to-face

About This Quote

Yuanfen is a Chinese phrase that means “mutual liking.” Yuanfen is the essence of being friends with one another, no matter how far apart they may be. The distance between two people does not matter when it comes to friendship. They are only as far apart as their feelings are. If you have feelings for someone, you are destined to be friends with them. If you do not have feelings for someone, chances are, you will never become friends because of your lack of feeling for them.
