I don’t always make it known to people – my chinese name. But there is something one can be very proud of with one’s chinese name. All parents would always make sure that they give their children a good name. Preferrably a name that people can’t make fun of – they can hope anyway.

So think of it that way too with the Chinese names. Like my chinese name is Yin Foong, not including my surname which is Low. It’s interesting when I was younger I never liked my asian heritage as much as I do now. Sad in a way too. In school I would be forced to learn how to write Mandarin, at least I knew how to write my own chinese name. Which looks like so…
