Oh ya I just turned 21 few days ago, when my sister Fui came to my place, she brought along present from my parents:
My parents gave me a cross and a key! together with the necklace :) Why do we get a key on our 21st birthday?
This is because when we are 21st, we are considered old enough to be a keyholder to our family home, the key given for our 21st birthday is the key to adulthood, and we often given the privilege to come and go as we pleased, at what time we liked.
In short, this is a key to freedom! :D
Although this is an old tradition that has long since become an obsolete cliche, the symbolism of the key on the 21st birthday lives on.
