Unique Name

My name is Juming Li, and in Chinese characters, it is李烥明. It was given to me by my grandfather when I was born. My last name was named after my father because it’s common in China. About a thousand years ago, one’s last name was named after one’s father that symbolizes the status and dignity of the father in China. However, it’s just a custom, and this custom pass down to now. In addition, the first name is the most important name for everyone because it will accompany everyone’s whole life. Before I was born, my grandfather was very busy looking for the perfect name for me. He hoped I could have blood and passion like fire. Therefore, he spent three months, and then he found a satisfying name, which means burning flame. I like this name very much. In China, there are about 1.5 billion people, so inevitably there are some people that have the same name. However, my name is very rare, and it is only used for me. Every time I hear my name, I know it means passion and power, so this name can make me feel energetic.

    Our customs are a bit different, our peers have a word in our name, maybe just because the south and the north are different. By the way, your name is special.

    I think taking energy from your name is very nice because people always hear own name, so you must be usually energetic ;)
