My parents gave me my
name, my father to be exact. Zhi means knowledge, and Lei means accumulation.
So I guess my parents wanted to tell me that being knowledgeable depends on
accumulation. You see, they put a lot of pressure on my shoulders with this
name.
I quite like my name,
and I won't change it for the world, because it is unique. I don't think that
anyone else in China has the same name. It's part of my identity, and it is
meaningful to me.
People in my country
pay great attention to their names because they believe that suitable names
will bring them good fortune. Sometimes they even change their names for their
business and family purpose.
In China, I believe
that fathers are in the position of naming their children. Sometimes they will
look through some Chinese classical literatures to seek the meaningful words
for their children.
Oh, there are some
nick names that are very popular in China. For example, Lili means that their
parents hope their daughters would be beautiful; and Kuan kuan, indicates that
their sons would be magnanimous when they are grown up
