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 nicknames 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
