I am glad that I don’t live in china, why? cause I won’t be Mr.xxxxxxxxxx anymore, I’ll became Mr.xx. What are you talking about? I am talking about my surname has too many strokes, too difficult in handwriting, the authority says it’s no good. Let’s use English to demonstrate, let’s use Mississippi as a chinese surname (it’s a traditional chinese character as well – traditional characters usually have a lot of strokes), it has 4 syllables… too long, too clumpsy, too hard to remember, so another character which carries similar sound came to replace it, they chose Kiss…short enough, easy to write, easy to remember, easy to digest. From now on, I’ll be Mr. Kiss. The surname “Mississippi” is no longer exists in china, you can’t find your family tree in the museum. You might ask Can you protest? Yes, I can, but I’ll attract an army of police marching into my village, shooting our asses. Can I hire a lawyer to file a lawsuit against the government? Yes, I can, but my lawyer will be thrown into jail. I am not proud to be a chinaman…don’t like those brothers/sisters who yell from dawn to dusk “I AM PROUD TO BE CHINAMAN”.
