hi child,
came across this and thought it may answer your question.
the bat is a chinese good luck symbol. in china, the bat symbolizes long, happy life. the word for bat in china is "fu" which is a homonym of "good luck." the chinese will wear bat amulets or pendants as a protection against poor luck, and a sign to welcome joy and good fortune into their lives. i've seen greeting cards from china with two bats. the sender of the card is wishing wellness, health and wealth to the recipient.
hope this helps explains what seeing a "fu" means.
kindest regards,
matt
