Lo Hei is also called Yusheng. It is a Teochew-style raw fish salad. It usually consists of strips of raw fish( most commonly salmon), mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients. Yusheng literally means "raw fish" but since "fish
(鱼)"s commonly conflated with its homophone "abundance(余)", Yusheng (鱼生) is interpreted as a homophone for Yusheng(余生) meaning an increase in abundance. Therefore, Yusheng is considered a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigor.
