Mei’s Grandmother dislikes the number 4, and believes it to be unlucky. This is because when speaking Cantonese, the number sounds very similar to the word for “death”. As a result, in many East Asian cultures, including China, Korea, Japan and Taiwan, the number 4 is considered unlucky. In these areas, if you step onto an elevator, you probably won't see a button indicating the fourth floor because most apartment buildings and hospitals skip the number altogether. In Beijing, it's not even possible to get a vehicle license plate that has the number 4 on it. And in Singapore, a luxury carmaker had to change the name of the Alfa Romeo model 144 because citizens were scared to buy it. It's the same reason Nokia and OnePlus phone models don't start with the number 4.
